Abstract:
In order to improve both image quality and encoding efficiency when an image is compressed/encoded, transmitted, and recorded, an image compression apparatus includes a motion search units that perform motion detection between a first frame as an input image and a reference image already created in compression/encoding, a temporal filter that performs temporal filtering for the first frame using a second frame different from the input image on the basis of a result of the motion detection, and a compression/encoding units that compress/encode an image subjected to the temporal filtering. The temporal filter determines a location of the reference image and a filter characteristic on the basis of an encoding parameter used by the compression/encoding unit.

Claim (Index 1):
An image compression apparatus for performing image compression/encoding, comprising:\n a motion search unit that performs motion detection for each small area in an image between a first frame as an input image and a reference image already created in compression/encoding; a temporal filter that performs temporal filtering for the first frame using a second frame different from the input image on the basis of a result of the motion detection; a compression/encoding unit that performs computation of a difference from a predicted image, frequency transformation, quantization, and variable-length encoding for an image subjected to the temporal filtering; and an encoding parameter control unit that controls an encoding parameter in the compression/encoding unit, wherein the temporal filter determines a location of the reference image and a filter characteristic on the basis of an encoding parameter selected by the encoding parameter control unit.
