<p>A colour picture image processing system separates a colour picture image into pixels, transmits vector signals constituting chrominance components of pixel data in a corresponding relationship with the transmission of scalar signals corresponding to luminance components of the pixel data, and reproduces the colour picture image from the transmitted vector signals and scalar signals. The system comprises separation processing means (10) for separating said colour picture image into luminance components and chrominance components (11) in correspondence with said pixels, and separating the separated chrominance components into vector potential components and scalar potential components (12), coding processing means (20) operating in response to the output of said separation processing means (10) for generating the luminance components or luminance information corresponding to the luminance component (25), and chrominance corresponding coding information based on a coding of all of the scalar potential components (21) or of all of the vector potential components (22) and the scalar potential components (21), and synthesis processing means (30) operating in response to the transmitted luminance information and the chrominance corresponding coding information for synthesizing the colour picture image. The system may also carry out edge detection and include an edge extracting unit (26) for comparing an output of the scalar potential analysis unit (23a) and the output of a vector analysis unit (23b) with a predetermined value.</p> |
