TL;DR: In this article, a highly efficient coding apparatus for coding digital video data is proposed, which consists of means for receiving the digital data represented by respective picture element data of first predetermined bits, means for determining at least one elementary picture element for each block, means (41, 43) for predicting values of respective ones of subject picture element (MPE) data, means detecting respective predictive errors of the predicted values from the real values of the picture element values, means 45) for determining if each predictive error is greater than a threshold value, and means for generating flag data by the

TL;DR: In this article, a mixture ratio calculation block (MRC) is used to detect a mixture of the foreground object component and the background object component, and a foreground and background separation block (FSA) is applied to an image processing apparatus.

TL;DR: In this article, a high efficiency coding apparatus performs the control so that the amount of generated information does not surpass a transmission capacity of a transmission path when variable-length coding for varying a word length corresponding to a dynamic range.

TL;DR: In this article, an image processing apparatus includes an imaging information calculation unit acquiring a first image and higher-resolution second images, and calculating coordinate positions of the second images to the first image, and differences in imaging direction between second cameras and a first camera.

TL;DR: In this paper, the look-up table contains either predictive coefficients which are used as weights for pixels of a signal in one hierarchical level to produce a signal at a higher hierarchical level, or representative values which are combined with a dynamic range and redundant component in a set of pixels of an input signal in a one-level hierarchical encoding system to produce an output signal at the higher level.
