Abstract
A hierarchical coding unit hierarchically codes picked-up moving images. A storage stores moving image coded data which have been coded by the hierarchical coding unit. A hierarchical decoding unit decodes part of the moving image coded data so as to generate a moving image whose image quality is lower than the moving images. A recoding unit codes the moving image decoded by the hierarchical decoding unit. The hierarchical decoding unit decodes the moving image coded data starting from a lowest hierarchy up to a hierarchy corresponding to a specified resolution.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a region-of-interest setting unit which sets a region of interest in a picture contained in a picked-up moving image;
- a first coding unit which codes the moving image containing the picture to which the region of interest has been set;
- a storage which stores moving image coded data which have been coded by said first coding unit;
- a decoding unit which decodes at least coded data of the region of interest or coded data of a partial region of the region of interest in the picture contained in the moving image coded data;
- and
- a second coding unit which codes the region of interest or the partial region of the region of interest decoded by said decoding unit.
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a hierarchical coding unit which hierarchically codes a picked-up moving image;
- a storage which stores moving image coded data which have been coded by said hierarchical coding unit;
- a hierarchical decoding unit which decodes part of the moving image coded data so as to generate a moving image whose image quality is lower than the moving image;
- and
- a recoding unit which codes the moving image decoded by said hierarchical decoding unit.
