<p>An image data processing apparatus for fast coding and reconstructing continuous-tone image data parallely processes DCT coefficients in pipelined quantization and dequantization. An image data compressing apparatus (Fig. 11) comprises an orthogonally transformer (111) for obtaining a transform coefficient matrix by two-dimensionally orthogonally transforming continuous-tone image data, a quantizer (121) for quantizing respective elements of a coefficient matrix, a signal producer (131, 132) for outputting the serial quantized coefficients by attaching a termination signal to the tail end, and a coder (150) for outputting codes corresponding to significant coefficients. An image data reconstructing apparatus (Fig. 13) comprises a decoder (161) for decoding input codes to the coefficient codes and succession length codes, a coefficient code reverter (162) for reverting the coefficient codes into significant coefficients, a succession length code reverter (163) for reverting the succession length codes into insignificant coefficient succession length, a memory (142) for storing a data pair of a significant coefficient and an insignificant coefficient succession length, a dequantizer (171) for obtaining appropriate transform coefficients by dequantizing significant coefficients in data pairs, and an inverse orthogonally transformer (180) for two-dimensionally inverse-orthogonally transforming the transform coefficient matrix and for outputting the transforming result as image data. <IMAGE></p> |
