Abstract
An image processing apparatus and method for inputting image data and coding the image data using inter-frame correlation in which image data of a desired frame out of the image data input is intra-frame coded. The image processing apparatus includes an imaging block, a coding block for coding the image data imaged by the imaging block using inter-frame correlation, a command block for activating still image taking, and a control block for controlling the coding block so that the still image data obtained by the command block is intra-frame coded.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures;
- coding means for coding the image data by adaptively using an intra-picture coding and an inter-picture coding;
- designating means for designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures;
- and
- control means for controlling said coding means so that the image data designated by said designating means is intra-picture coded.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures;
- coding means for coding the image data by adaptively using a plurality of different coding types, the plurality of coding types including at least intra-picture coding;
- designating means for designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures;
- and
- control means for controlling said coding means so that the image data designated by said designating means is intra-picture coded.
An image processing method comprising te steps of:
- inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures;
- coding the image data by adaptively using an intra-picture coding and an inter-picture coding;
- designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures;
- and
- controlling the coding of said coding step so that the image data designated in said designating step is intra-picture coded.
