Abstract
An image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing apparatus includes a memory unit; and a processor configured to store image data of all pixels of a zone set in a first image frame in an area of the memory unit, which corresponds to the zone, when at least one of the pixels of the zone does not satisfy a predefined condition, and not to store image data of each of the pixels of the zone in the area of the memory unit, which corresponds to the zone, when all the pixels of the zone satisfy the predefined condition.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store a representative value table including representative values corresponding to a plurality of blocks, wherein each of the plurality of blocks includes a plurality of pixels, the representative values being binary values that indicate whether corresponding ones of the plurality of blocks satisfy a condition;
- and
- a processor configured to,
- determine whether pixels of at least one block of the plurality of blocks in a first image frame satisfy the condition by reading ones of the representative values corresponding to the at least one block from the representative value table, and
- selectively store image data of the pixels of the at least one block in the first image frame in an area of the memory corresponding to the at least one block in response to the processor determining that at least one of the pixels of the at least one block satisfy the condition such that the processor is configured not to store the image data of each of the pixels of the at least one block in the area of the memory in response to all the pixels of the at least one block satisfying the condition.
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory, a representative value table including representative values corresponding to a plurality of blocks, wherein each of the plurality of blocks includes a plurality of pixels, the representative values being binary values that indicate whether corresponding ones of the plurality of blocks satisfy a condition;
- determining, by a processor, whether pixels of at least one block of the plurality of blocks in a first image frame satisfy the condition by reading ones of the representative values corresponding to the at least one block from the representative value table;
- and
- selectively storing, by the processor, image data of the pixels of the at least one block in the first image frame in an area of the memory corresponding to the at least one block in response to the processor determining that at least one of the pixels of the at least one block satisfy the condition such that the selectively storing does not store the image data corresponding to each of the pixels of the at least one block in the area of the memory in response to all the pixels of the at least one block satisfying the condition.
