MULTI DIMENSIONAL IMAGE COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION METHOD

摘要

A method of compressing and decompressing a multidimensional image. A video data including luminance data distributed at least in two-dimension is compressed to be codes. The codes are decompressed to reproduce the video data. A specific number of representative pixels are extracted from a plurality of pixels consisting of the digital signal of video data. Texture data is also extracted from the digital signal of video data. The representative pixels and the texture data are coded. And then the coded representative pixels and the texture data are decoded. The video data is reproduced using the decoded representative pixels and the texture data. <IMAGE>
