Abstract:
1. A apparatus in a video signal decompression system, the apparatus selector comprising: receiver which receives a scanning mode signal from a demultiplexer which extracts variable length coded data and scanning mode signal from a received signal in the video signal decompression system, the scanning mode signal not being variable length coded, the receiver further receiving variable length decoded data from a variable length decoder; selector which selects a scanning pattern from a plurality of scanning patterns by using the scanning mode signal; and scanner which scans the variable length decoded data based on the scanning mode signal, wherein the selected scanning pattern reorders a set of video spatial frequency coefficients of an individual sub-block to an original order; wherein the selected scanning pattern comprises a scanning order for n×n coefficients in the following sequence: M(0,0), M(1,0), M(0,1), M(0,2), M(1,1), M(2,0), M(3,0), M(2,1), M(1,2), . . . , M(n−1,n−1) from lowest frequency to highest frequency to produce a set of reordered coefficients.
