Abstract
Brightness values of picture elements of an image segment are subjected to a conformal imaging, so that the brightness values of the picture elements that are located at an edge of the image segment are imaged onto picture elements of an edge of a target image segment having a prescribable shape. Interpolation of the brightness values is undertaken between the imaged brightness values of the target image segment.
Claims10
A method for processing picture elements of an image segment of an arbitrary shape, comprising the steps of:
- conformal-imaging brightness values of picture elements located at an edge of the image segment onto picture elements of an edge of a target image segment of prescribable shape, the target image segment and the image segment having different shapes;
- interpolating brightness values of picture elements between the picture elements at the edge of the target image segment;
- coding the target image segment by use of a transformation coding;
- and
- performing the sequence of steps set forth above on a plurality of image segments from separate images of an image sequence.
