==IMAGE ENCODER, AN IMAGE SENSING DEVICE, AND AN OPERATING METHOD OF THE IMAGE ENCODER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158501 titled 'IMAGE ENCODER, AN IMAGE SENSING DEVICE, AND AN OPERATING METHOD OF THE IMAGE ENCODER

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure describes an image encoder that is designed to encode an original image while reducing compression loss. The image encoder consists of an image signal processor and a compressor.

* The image signal processor receives a first frame image and a second frame image and generates a compressed image of the second frame image using a boundary pixel image of the first frame image.
* The image signal processor includes memory to store the first reference pixel data, which represents the first frame image.
* The compressor receives the first reference pixel data from the memory and generates a bitstream by encoding the second frame image based on the difference value between the first reference pixel data and the second frame image.
* The image signal processor then generates a compressed image of the second frame image using the bitstream generated by the compressor.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Video compression: This image encoder can be used in video compression algorithms to reduce the size of video files while maintaining image quality.
* Streaming services: By reducing compression loss, this technology can improve the quality of streamed videos, leading to a better user experience.
* Video surveillance: The image encoder can be used in surveillance systems to compress and store video footage efficiently without significant loss of image quality.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Compression loss: Traditional image compression techniques often result in a loss of image quality. This image encoder aims to reduce compression loss and maintain image fidelity.
* Efficient storage: By compressing images effectively, this technology helps in reducing the storage requirements for images and videos.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved image quality: By reducing compression loss, this image encoder ensures that the encoded images maintain a high level of quality and detail.
* Efficient compression: The image encoder optimizes the compression process by utilizing boundary pixel information, resulting in more efficient encoding and smaller file sizes.
* Reduced storage requirements: By compressing images effectively, this technology helps in reducing the storage requirements for images and videos, making it easier to store and transmit large amounts of visual data.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure provides an image encoder. The image encoder is configured to encode an original image and reduce compression loss. The image encoder comprises an image signal processor and a compressor. The image signal processor is configured to receive a first frame image and a second frame image and generates a compressed image of the second frame image using a boundary pixel image of the first frame image. The image signal processor may include memory configured to store first reference pixel data which is the first frame image. The compressor is configured to receive the first reference pixel data from the memory and generate a bitstream obtained by encoding the second frame image based on a difference value between the first reference pixel data and the second frame image. The image signal processor generates a compressed image of the second frame image using the bitstream generated by the compressor.
