APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for processing an image wherein an image frame composed of a plurality of lines in an image processing device is compressed by line units. For the purpose, the image quality of each of the lines constituting an image frame is estimated, a compression rate for each line is determined independently to obtain the estimated image quality for each of the lines, and the compression rate determined independently for an arbitrary line is used when an image on the arbitrary line is compressed.
