Abstract:
1. An image compressor comprising: an image data controller configured to extract, from image data having color components of at least three kinds arranged in accordance with a Bayer pattern, first pixels, second pixels and third pixels, the first pixels corresponding to a first color component included on a first line and a second line of the image data, the second pixels corresponding to a second color component included on the first line, and the third pixels corresponding to a third color component included on the second line; a first encoder configured to refer to a reference first pixel located close to a target first pixel to be encoded in a column direction in the image data, encode the target first pixel, and generate a first encoded pixel; a second encoder configured to refer to a reference second pixel located close to a target second pixel to be encoded in a row direction in the image data, encode the target second pixel, and generate a second encoded pixel; a third encoder configured to refer to a reference third pixel located close to a target third pixel to be encoded in the row direction, encode the target third pixel, and generate a third encoded pixel; and an encoded data generator configured to combine the first encoded pixel, the second encoded pixel and the third encoded pixel, and generate encoded data.
