Abstract: A normal image quality coding unit generates normal-quality compressed moving image data by compressing moving image data generated by capturing an image around a vehicle with a normal image quality. A high image quality coding unit generates high-quality compressed moving image data by compressing the moving image data with an image quality higher than the normal image quality. The normal-quality compressed moving image data is recorded in a normal image quality data storage unit. A trigger detection unit detects an abnormal condition which possibly happens to the vehicle currently travelling. A high image quality data storage unit records therein the high-quality compressed moving image data based on a timing by which the abnormal condition is detected by the trigger detection unit.

Abstract: A processor in an integrated system aims to suppress the processing delay of a predetermined amount of cyclical processing that must executed. In a processor that executes processing by a round-robin method, a first processing cyclically executes a predetermined processing amount, and a second processing executes processing under a looser time constraint than the first processing. In this case, if a total processing amount of the second processing that is executed in a predetermined time period exceeds a predetermined value, execution of the second processing is suppressed in the predetermined time period, and time that was to be allocated to the second processing is instead allocated to the first processing.

Abstract: A dynamic image decoding device of the invention is a device for decoding encoded dynamic image data. The dynamic image decoding device has an ordinary reproducing mode and a rewind reproducing mode. The dynamic image decoding device includes an analysis unit, a decoding unit and an output unit. The analysis unit selects at least one of a plurality of difference frames. The decoding unit decodes the difference frame selected by the analysis unit, a first reference frame and a second reference frame. The output unit outputs, to a display device, the difference frame, the first reference frame and the second reference frame having been decoded by the decoding unit successively in the order from one present more ahead on the time axis, namely, in the order of the second reference frame, the difference frame and the first reference frame, on the basis of frame information in the rewind reproducing mode.

Abstract: An audio-video multiplexed data generation apparatus of the present invention multiplexes spare video data encoded at a lower frame rate than that of video data together with audio and video data through a spare-video encoder and a spare-video-data storage. An audio-video multiplexed data reproducing apparatus of the present invention decodes spare video data if video decoding is not completed within a predetermined time and, when it becomes possible to complete video decoding within the predetermined time, ordinarily decodes the video data. Multiplexing the low-frame-rate spare video data together with the ordinary video data allows irregularities in reproduced video to be minimized and synchronization between audio and video data to be restored if real-time reproduction becomes difficult to accomplish.
