Abstract
Abstract An image processing apparatus and method for inputting image data and coding the image data using inter-frame correlation in which image data of a desired frame out of the image data input is intra-frame coded. The image processing apparatus includes an imaging block, a coding block for coding the image data imaged by the imaging block using inter-frame correlation, a command block for activating still image taking, and a control block for controlling the coding block so that the still image data obtained by the command block is intra-frame coded.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: input means for inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures; coding means for coding the image data by adaptively using an intra-picture coding and an inter-picture coding; designating means for designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures; and control means for controlling said coding means so that the image data designated by said designating means is intra-picture coded.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: input means for inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures; coding means for coding the image data by adaptively using an intra-picture coding and an inter-picture coding; designating means for designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures; and control means for controlling said coding means so that the image data designated by said designating means is intra-picture coded.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising memory means for storing the image data coded by said coding means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said input means comprises an imaging means for imaging an object.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coding means once intra-picture codes the image data input by said input means, and then coding processes the intra-picture coded image data by using the inter-picture coding.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coding means coding processes the image data designated by said designating means in accordance with the JPEG standard, and coding processes the remaining image data in accordance with the MPEG standard.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
80 words
An image processing apparatus comprising: input means for inputting image data representing a plurality of successive pictures; coding means for coding the image data by adaptively using a plurality of different coding types, the plurality of coding types including at least intra-picture coding; designating means for designating image data of a desired picture from the plurality of successive pictures; and control means for controlling said coding means so that the image data designated by said designating means is intra-picture coded.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
80 words
