Abstract:
An image compression device, comprising:a plurality of image devices that generate a plurality of image data based on a single image, such that each of the plurality of image data is at a lower resolution than the single image;a pixel data input processor that inputs pixel data contained in said plurality of image data to said image compression device, said plurality of image data being offset with respect to each other;a compressed image recording processor that compresses said pixel data, while said plurality of image data remain offset to each other to obtain compressed image data, and records said compressed image, data in a recording medium prior to processing to obtain a high definition image wherein the high definition image is at a resolution greater than each of said plurality of image data; andan offset information recording processor that records offset information, indicating that said plurality of image data are offset with respect to each other, in said recording medium.
