摘要： Transfer control information for controlling a transfer amount per unit time of a transfer path is delivered from a transfer control section to an information transfer section. During encoding, the information transfer section receives image information from an external device in accordance with the transfer control information, and inputs the same to an image-information encoding/decoding section. A code-amount control section forwards code-amount control information for controlling the code amount to the image-information encoding/decoding section. The image-information encoding/decoding section encodes the image information in accordance with the code-amount control information outputted from the code-amount control section. The information transfer section transfers to an external device encoded information outputted from the image-information encoding/decoding section, while the transfer amount per unit time is being controlled by the transfer control section.

摘要： A plurality of reference pixel extracting means check their corresponding reference pixel ranges and pixel values in predetermined auxiliary regions. Reference pixel range selecting means selects a reference pixel range based on the checked pixel values. When the number of types of pixel values for an input image is found to be locally low in the selected reference pixel range, the number of reference pixels is increased. On the other hand, when the number of types of the pixel values for the input image is found to be locally large, the number of reference pixels is decreased. As a result, states can be generated by a Markov model image encoding system capable of improving encoding efficiency without increasing the number of the states sharply. Owing to the above construction, even when the number of tones for the input image is high upon Markov model image encoding, the number of reference pixels can be increased without abruptly increasing the number of states later on to improve compression efficiency.

摘要： In an image forming apparatus, memory capacity necessary for temporarily retaining image data is reduced. A decoding process is carried out by diving image data for one frame into element data for each color component Y, M, C and K. The element data for each color component is stored in the temporary memory. A controller starts conveyance of recording media on the basis of estimation of the completion time of decoding processing by a decoding speed estimator, and controls the recorders for Y, M, C and K to execute the recording process of element data retained in the temporary memory. This results in an image being recorded on the recording medium for each element data retained in the temporary memory, such that the conveyance of the recording media and the supply of data to the recorders for Y, M, C and K are matched, and the data amount to be retained in the temporary memory is reduced.

摘要： An index signal and a delta signal are generated from an input pixel value, and then, inputted to an input buffer by every predetermined pixel to be processed. A controlling unit compares the index signal in the input buffer with a tag (index signal) in a coefficient cache. When they coinside with each other, the controlling unit reads out the corresponding coefficient from the coefficient cache and supplies the same to an interpolating unit. The interpolating unit simultaneously receives the delta signal and supplies the keeping color data to an output buffer. Thereafter, the interpolating unit accesses to the coefficient storing memory by using an index signal that does not coinside with either one of cache-tag (index signal) to obtain a coefficient, and similarly, interpolatively generates color data. Data of converted color is outputted from the output buffer in the order of inputting the pixel. A color converting device of the present invention can perform a color conversion with high precision without increasing a reading-out band of a coefficient table for a color conversion.
