<p>A method for intraframe image compression of an image is combined with a method for reducing memory requirements for an interframe image compression. The intraframe image compression includes (a) dividing the image into blocks; (b) selecting a block according to a predetermined sequence; and (c) processing each selected block by: (1) identifying a reference block from previously processed blocks in the image according to an activity metric; and (2) using the reference block, compressing the selected block. The selected block may be compressed by compressing a difference between the selected block and the reference block, where the difference may be offset by a predetermined value. The difference is compressed after determining that an activity metric of the difference block. The activity metric depends on elements of a difference block, which is a block in which elements are each a difference between an element of the current image frame and a corresponding element of the reference frame. The activity metric is a function of the sum of (a) the sum over all rows of all differences between two successive consecutive elements of each row of the difference block; and (b) the sum over all columns of all differences between two consecutive elements of each column of the difference block. The reference block is identified by minimizing a cost function based on the activity metric and either a sum of absolute differences function or a sum of square differences function. The cost function may be a weighted sum of the activity metric and either a sum of absolute differences function or a sum of square differences function, or a weighted sum of the activity function and either a sum of absolute differences function or a sum of square differences function.</p> |
