[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention provides an image processing system that guarantees the number of still images that can be recorded on a recording medium when still image data is compressed and encoded and recorded on the recording medium. Regarding the data recording method, it is particularly suitable for application to electronic still video cameras.

In this type of encoding method, by controlling certain parameters, it is possible to control the relationship between the image quality of a decoded image and the amount of code after encoding. The relationship between the decoded image and the amount of code is that the larger the amount of code, that is, the lower the degree of compression, the smaller the deterioration of the image quality from the original image, and the smaller the amount of code, that is, the higher the degree of compression, the lower the deterioration of the image quality from the original image. The image quality will deteriorate significantly. However, in this type of encoding method, adaptive processing is performed using local correlation of images during encoding, so highly efficient compression encoding is possible according to the properties of the processed image.

However, on the other hand, the relationship between the code amount control parameter and the obtained code amount differs from image to image. Therefore, when a plurality of processed images are encoded using the same code amount control parameter, an image with a fine pattern at -i will have a large code amount, and a flat image with a large pattern will have a small code amount.

By the way, the applications of the still image encoding method so far have mainly been considered to be image transmission for still image video telephones, facsimiles, etc., storage of image data in an image data base, and the like. For this reason, it is not always necessary to encode an arbitrary processed image so as to obtain a constant amount of code. For this reason, in this type of encoding method, sufficient studies have not yet been made on techniques for encoding so that a constant amount of code is obtained for each processed image.

However, when this type of encoding system is applied to, for example, an electronic still video camera, a function is required to always maintain a constant number of still images that can be recorded per recording medium.

The encoding unit 4 converts the still image data stored in the frame memory 3 into one block of nXn pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions.
For example, there is a DCT unit 4a that divides into multiple blocks of 8×8 pixels and performs two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) on each block, and nXn DCTs obtained by this DCT unit 4a.
The quantization section 4b quantizes the coefficient by dividing it by a quantization table consisting of nXn numerical values. DCT is a type of orthogonal transform in the frequency domain, and the transform coefficients are F 1j (
i, j=0.1. ..., n-1), one block of image data is transferred to f4. However, C,=1. #2 (W=O) −1 (w≠O), and the resulting transformation coefficient F indicates a component obtained by decomposing one block of image data into six spatial frequencies. Of this conversion coefficient F, the coefficient F0° is a value (
(DC component), and as variables i and j become larger, a higher frequency component (AC component) is shown. The nXn DCT coefficients obtained in this way are divided and quantized by each dark value of a quantization table consisting of nXn dark values for each bronc in the quantization section 4b. FIG. 2 shows an example of a quantization table consisting of 8×8 dark values. The increase/decrease in the amount of code after compression encoding, that is, the compression rate, can be adjusted by the magnitude of each dark value in this quantization table.

The code amount of the digital image data compressed and encoded in this manner is measured by a code N measuring section 5, and is recorded on a recording medium 7 such as a floppy disk. The control unit 6 switches the quantization table supplied to the quantization unit 4b according to the code amount measured by the code amount measurement unit 5, that is, changes the compression rate by supplying quantization tables with different dark values, and performs compression. Controls the subsequent code amount. Therefore, the control unit 6 is provided with a plurality of quantization tables having different darkness values.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the operation explanation section shown in FIG. In the figure, the horizontal axis indicates the cumulative number of still images recorded on the recording medium 7, and the joint axis indicates the cumulative code amount of all still images recorded on the recording medium 7 and the compression rate of each still image (large, large, medium, small). Also, the diagonal broken line indicates the recording medium 7.
The value Qtaax indicates the target value of the cumulative code amount when all N still images are recorded on the recording medium 7. This value Qmax is set slightly lower than the maximum storage capacity of the recording medium 7. Therefore, the recording capacity per still image allocated to the recording medium 7 is "Qmax/NJ," and the target cumulative code amount when recording the m-th still image is rmXQ+*a

In FIG. 3, when recording the first still image, encoding is performed using a quantization table that gives a compression rate of "medium". As a result, the obtained code amount Sl exceeds the target value, so
When recording the second still image, encoding is performed using a quantization table with a large dark value that gives a "high" compression ratio, thereby reducing the cumulative code amount. Next, when recording the third still image, the cumulative value of the code amount S1 of the first image and the code amount S2 of the second image matches the target value, so the compression rate is set to "medium" again.
Encoding is performed using a quantization table that gives .

Thereafter, the same process is repeated, and when the recording of the Nth still image is finished, the control unit 6 switches the quantization table so that the cumulative code amount becomes the target value Qmax, and the still image is recorded on the recording medium 7. The number of sheets is kept at a constant number N.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the compression rate (large, medium, small) of the still image to be encoded next is determined from the cumulative code amount of still images that have already been encoded, and the code amount of all N still images is set to the target value Q max. However, by fixing the amount of code per still image in advance, the number of still images that can be recorded on the recording medium 7 can be secured, and the still images to be recorded can be compressed. Only when the subsequent code amount exceeds the fixed value P max, the compression rate may be increased by switching to a quantization table with a large dark value, and control may be performed to reach the fixed value P max. By the way, it is said that for image data such as photographic images of fishing boats, the range of code amount after compression encoding varies by about three times depending on the nature of the image. For example, IT
Compared to images with many flat areas such as 1 Flesh Color Chart J of E Test Chart, "Mountain Village in Switzerland" of the same test chart
A landscape picture like this has about three times as much code for the same image quality (SN ratio). Therefore, in the case of general photographic images, a landscape painting such as γ Switzerland's Yamamura J is considered to be an image with the largest amount of code, and the amount of code at this time is recorded on the recording medium as the amount of code for a still image. Make sure to secure it. By doing this, in normal shooting, the code amount is Pm
ax is hardly exceeded, and therefore, the number of recording sheets that can be recorded per recording medium can be guaranteed. The amount of code is Pm
In the case of an image exceeding ax, the control unit 6 determines this and switches the quantization table, and the encoding unit 4 increases the compression rate and compresses and encodes the image so that the code amount is less than or equal to Pn+ax. The information is recorded on the recording medium 7. In this way, the number of still images that can be recorded on the recording medium is kept constant.

In addition, it is said that images with many changes such as "Test Chart R Swiss Mountain Village" are less prone to noticeable interference noise such as block distortion even if the compression rate is increased compared to images with many flat areas. Even if the fixed code amount P max per still image is reduced to about two-thirds, a relatively good reproduced image can be obtained, and the number of recorded images on the recording medium can be reduced to one.
.. It is possible to increase it five times.
