IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18227591 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The present technology is about an image processing apparatus and method that improve encoding efficiency while minimizing the decrease in encoding processing efficiency.
- The image processing apparatus includes an encoding mode setter that determines whether a non-compression mode should be selected as the encoding mode for encoding image data.
- The non-compression mode is an encoding mode where the image data is output as encoded data.
- The apparatus also includes an encoder that encodes the image data in coding units according to the mode set by the encoding mode setter.
- The encoding mode can be set in units of coding units that have a hierarchical structure.
- This technology can be used in various image processing apparatuses.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus and method that are capable of enhancing encoding efficiency while suppressing a decrease in the efficiency of encoding processing. The image processing apparatus includes an encoding mode setter that sets, in units of coding units having a hierarchical structure, whether a non-compression mode is to be selected as an encoding mode for encoding image data, the non-compression mode being an encoding mode in which the image data is output as encoded data, and an encoder that encodes the image data in units of the coding units in accordance with a mode set by the encoding mode setter. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus.
