IMAGE ENCODER APPARATUS AND CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

A compression control unit (111) can execute, based on the spatial frequency of an image to be encoded, a prediction mode selection to select, as a prediction mode to be used for an encoding process, one of forward prediction, backward prediction and bi-directional prediction. The compression control unit (111) is operative to determine, based on image movement information indicating a motion amount of the image to be encoded, whether to execute the prediction mode selection.
