Abstract
A digital picture storage system with various facilities including size change. The system includes real time frame storage and a non-real time store expediently provided as disc storage. The size change mechanism has access to the data in the non-real time domain to allow size change techniques to be used which are more readily realizable.
Claims34
A digital still picture storage system for storing a plurality of video frames comprising first digital frame storage means adapted to capture a frame of video information in digital form in real time, non-real time storage means adapted to receive and store digital data captured by said frame storage means at a slower rate than that received by said frame storage means, and picture processor means adapted to process data in the non-real time domain so as to manipulate the size of the still picture when processed thereby relative to normal frame size.
