Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing coding and decoding of a still image or an active image which is coded by intra frame coding. The coding system estimates the displacement of a most similar pattern block with present block data for coding from coded frame data, transmits a displacement vector, codes the data with lower energy level between present block data and differential data, and transmits it to a decoder. The decoding system decodes the transmitted data using displacement compensation according to the transmitted displacement vector, and thus outputs the decoded still image. As a result, the coding/decoding system can compress the transmitting data more than a conventional system for coding and decoding a still image.

Title: Automatic image creation by merging text image and form image
Inventor: ROBERSTON GEORGE G
IPC: H04N1/387
Filed: 1993-08-20
Abstract: Input images of a form (250) and of a text (260) are used to automatically obtain an output image (300) showing the form with the text in a field (302). A processor receives data defining the input images (250,260), automatically obtains positioning data indicating positions of boundaries around the field (254) so that the text (262) can be positioned within the field, and automatically obtains data defining the output image. The positioning data can be automatically obtained by operating on plain images of the form and of the text; by operating on images of the form and of the text that have been marked to indicate the field and the text; or by operating on images of the form and of the text that include machine readable information indicating the positions of the field and the text. Skew can be corrected before merging a text with a form, and text can be scaled (294,296) and reformatted if necessary to fit into a field. If the input images include more than one field on the form and more than one text segment, the processor can obtain linking data indicating a respective text segment for a field. The linking data can also indicate a field that is a continuation of another field or a text segment that is a continuation of another text segment, in case of overrun or insufficient text to fill a field. The processor could be in a fax server, a digital copier, or a computer with a scanner and a printer.
