Abstract:
An image coded data re-encoding apparatus which receives a first image coded data and which generates a second image coded data by performing a digital signal processing on said first image coded data, said first image coded data generated by a coding processor including a transformer, a quantizer, and a variable length coder for coding a digital input image signal, said image coded data re-encoding apparatus comprising:an image coded data analyzer for generating coded data after signal processing by performing a first digital signal processing on said first image coded data which partially decodes said first image coded data; andan image coded data synthesizer for generating said second image coded data by performing a second digital signal processing on said coded data after signal processing which re-encodes said coded data after signal processing based on multiple signals associated with said first image coded data by using said coded data terminal processing output from said image coded data analyzer and said multiple signals; andsaid image coded data analyzer decodes said first image coded data by performing said first digital signal processing on said first image coded data to generate decoded image data as said coded data after signal processing,said image coded data re-encoding apparatus further comprises an information extractor/estimator for extracting or estimating said multiple signals needed for said second digital signal processing from said coded data after signal processing generated by said image coded data analyzer, andsaid image coded data synthesizer generates said second image coded data by performing on said coded data after signal processing said second digital signal processing based on said multiple signals by using said coded data after signal processing output from said image coded data analyzer and said multiple signals output from said information extractor/estimator.
