<p>The invention relates to a method and a device for the compression of a digitally encoded video image in connection with transmission. In order that a satisfactory prediction block could be found irrespective of the extent of motion occurring in the image, (a) at least the first image in a video sequence is transmitted as such or compressed to a receiver, (b) image content is subjected to classification at the beginning of the video sequence to be transmitted by dividing the image into blocks having n x m pixels and deriving an identifier (FD) describing the image content of these blocks and storing the image content of the image block in a first memory (104) at an address determined by said identifier (FD), the storing taking place such that at least one image content data item remains in the memory for each identifier; (c) after the completed classification a memory address is similarly derived from an image block to be transmitted, and the image content data obtainable from the obtained memory address is used as a prediction block candidate by performing a comparison between the image blocks in a manner known per se; (d) if the result of the comparison fulfils a predetermined correspondence condition, said memory address is indicated to the receiver; and (e) if the predetermined correspondence condition remains unfulfilled, the image block is transmitted to the receiver in a manner known per se. <IMAGE></p> |
