Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a plurality of classifying adaptive processing circuits for performing a classifying adaptive process for an input information signal; a switching circuit for switching a connection relation among said plurality of classifying adaptive processing circuits; a pre-processing circuit for performing a predetermined process for the input information signal and switching the predetermined process as the connection relation is switched, wherein the pre-processing circuit includes gain compensating circuits performing gain compensation, wherein the information signals are picture data composed of pixel information, wherein one of said plurality of classifying adaptive processing circuits is configured for performing the classifying adaptive process for the corresponding input information signal using a prepared luminance signal coefficient and predicting a luminance signal component of the picture data and another one of said plurality of classifying adaptive processing circuits is configured for performing the classifying adaptive process using prepared color difference signal coefficients and predicting color difference components of the picture data so as to separate the picture data into the luminance component and the color difference components, and a function controlling circuit that outputs a control signal to at least the switching circuit and the pre-processing circuit to control the switching.
