TLDR
In this paper, an image-coding method which outputs image data and an alpha channel in a single file form for compressing and coding an image and the alpha channel accompanying therewith, without converting the resolution for further taking out reduced image data of low resolutions therefrom lower than a fixed value is proposed.
Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image-coding method which outputs image data and an alpha channel in a single file form for compressing and coding an image and the alpha channel accompanying therewith, and takes out an alpha channel corresponding to a reduced image, without converting the resolution for further taking out reduced image data of low resolutions therefrom lower than a fixed value SOLUTION: The image coding method of compressing and coding input image data, composed of a plurality of components comprises a step of adding an alpha channel having mask information recorded per pixel for forming a composite image to the input image data as a new component, coding image data, containing a plurality of components and the new component after converting the resolutions thereof in an hierarchical form, thereby forming an integrated image file COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

TL;DR: In this article, an image processing apparatus includes an image effect determination unit configured to determine, on the basis of an environmental-information difference, the image effect that is to be provided, when an image data item that is a playback target is displayed, for the displayed image data items, the environmental information difference being obtained by comparing an environmental information item at a time of capture of the image dataset with an external information item having a consecutive relationship with the image data data item.

Image processor, image processing program and image processing system

TL;DR: In this article, the transmittance matrix is used to determine whether the information on an image can be generated or not based on the size of each image when output analysis is performed at the analysis section 11, and a section 14 when a determination is made at the first judgment section 12a that the information can be obtained.
