〔発明の利用分野〕
本発明は、画像データの圧縮方式に係わシ、特にディジ
タルX線画像の如く大容量のデータを効率良く圧縮する
のに好適な画像データ圧縮方式に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an image data compression method, and particularly to an image data compression method suitable for efficiently compressing large amounts of data such as digital X-ray images. Regarding the method.
従来の差分処理に代表される画像データの帯域圧縮処理
では、1つの画像に対して画一的な処理を行なっていた
。そのため、1つの画像内でデータの帯域あるいは特性
が異なっていても全く同一な処理を行なってしまうため
データの圧縮効率が悪いという欠点があった。In band compression processing of image data, typified by conventional differential processing, uniform processing is performed on one image. Therefore, even if data bands or characteristics differ within one image, the same processing is performed, resulting in poor data compression efficiency.
従って、画像毎に圧縮率が異なるだけではなく、圧縮率
を上げるためには、差分回数等を試行錯誤的に変えて実
験を〈夛返す必要があった。Therefore, not only does the compression ratio differ for each image, but in order to increase the compression ratio, it is necessary to repeat experiments by changing the number of differences and the like through trial and error.
本発明の目的は、画像の部分的なデータ特性に応じて、
最適な差分処理回数を自動的に決定することによシ、大
容量の画像データを効率よく圧縮する方式を提供する仁
とにある。The object of the present invention is to, depending on the partial data characteristics of an image,
The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for efficiently compressing large amounts of image data by automatically determining the optimal number of differential processing steps.
通常、データの圧縮処理は第1図に示すように三つの処
理に分けられる。第1は2次元の画像データの走査12
であり、水平方向の2スター走査が一般的である。第2
はデータの帯域(ダイナミックレンジ)の圧縮でアシ、
画素間の相間が高いことを利用し、差分予測符号化方式
(略してDPCM )等が広く用いられている。第3は
データのコード化であり、ナチュラルコード、ハフマン
コード等が代表的なものである。Normally, data compression processing is divided into three processes as shown in FIG. The first is scanning 12 of two-dimensional image data.
, and two-star scanning in the horizontal direction is common. Second
is achieved by compressing the data bandwidth (dynamic range).
Differential predictive coding (abbreviated as DPCM) and the like are widely used, taking advantage of the high correlation between pixels. The third is data encoding, and natural codes, Huffman codes, etc. are typical examples.
本発明は、上記中の第2の処理に関連したものである。The present invention relates to the second process described above.
以下、第2図によシ本発明の基本的な考え方を説明する
。従来は、21に示すように例えばDPCMを1回画像
全体に適用することによシデータ帯域の圧縮をはかつて
いたが、本発明では、22に示すように画像をいくつか
の部分領域に分け、その領域毎に、例えば原画像そのも
のを用いた。9(216のDPCM’ )差分を2回実
行する(215のDPCM” )といったようにくシ返
し回数を部分領域毎に変えて、よシ高い圧縮率を実現し
ようとするものである。The basic idea of the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. Conventionally, the data band was compressed by applying DPCM once to the entire image as shown in 21, but in the present invention, the image is divided into several partial areas as shown in 22, For each region, for example, the original image itself was used. 9 (216 DPCM') difference is executed twice (215 DPCM''), and the number of repetitions is changed for each partial area to achieve a higher compression ratio.
以下、本発明の一実施例を第3図〜第5図によシ説明す
る。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
第3図は、本発明の処理フローを示したものである。ま
ずステップ31で画像を部分領域に分ける。以後の説明
では、矩形領域に分割した例で説明するが、他にも高度
な領域分割法により、意味のある領域(例えば人体の部
位等)に分割するととも熱論可能である。FIG. 3 shows the processing flow of the present invention. First, in step 31, the image is divided into partial areas. In the following explanation, an example in which the area is divided into rectangular areas will be explained, but it is also possible to divide the area into meaningful areas (for example, parts of the human body) using other advanced area division methods.
ステップ32では、部分領移毎に差分処理を行ないデー

l””XI−aXI−1となる。ここでは、a=1の場
合を例として述べている。In step 32, differential processing is performed for each partial region to compress the data. The differential processing is the simplest processing of a so-called predictive coding method, and corresponds to previous value prediction. That is, when the current value is Xi, the previous value X1-1 is multiplied by the prediction coefficient a to calculate the prediction error ε. Tsumashi, ε
l""XI-aXI-1. Here, the case where a=1 is described as an example.
ステップ33では、差分処理後の結果を評価し、再度差
分処理をするべきか否かを決定する。これは、具体的に
は、以下のような評価基準を用いる。本処理ついては、
差分処理に続くコード化処理方式別に、以下の3つの例
について述べる。In step 33, the result after the difference processing is evaluated, and it is determined whether the difference processing should be performed again. Specifically, the following evaluation criteria are used. Regarding this process,
The following three examples will be described for each encoding processing method following differential processing.
(1)差分データそのものを保存する場合この場合には
、差分処理後の画像データの最大値を捜し、その値が前
回の値よシ小さければさらに差分処理をくシ返すという
処理となる。(1) When saving the difference data itself In this case, the maximum value of the image data after the difference processing is searched, and if that value is smaller than the previous value, the difference processing is repeated again.
(2)ナチュラルコード
この場合には、圧縮率はデータの種類の故によって決ま
る。従って差分データからデータ種をカウントし、前回
の値上シ小さければさらに差分処理をくシ返すという処
理を行なう。(2) Natural code In this case, the compression ratio depends on the type of data. Therefore, the data types are counted from the difference data, and if the previous value is smaller than the previous value, further difference processing is performed.
(3)ハフマンコード
この場合には、圧縮率はデータの種類の数、およびその
度数分布によシ決まる。この場合には、第4図a、bに
示すような度数分布をめ、r′れによシ評価を行なう。(3) Huffman code In this case, the compression rate depends on the number of data types and their frequency distribution. In this case, the r' error is evaluated based on the frequency distribution shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b.
まずデータ種をカウントし、前回よシ少ない場合には差
分処理をくシ返す。又、データ種が前回とほぼ同一であ
る時には、その度数についての分散値、即ち度数をDl
とした時、
(Nは、データ個数)
にてめfcDa″の大小によシ判定を下す。第4図の例
では、aとbの分布を比較するとハフマンコード化を前
提としfc場合には、aの方が圧縮率が高い。この場合
のDo″をめてみると、aの方が約36、bの方が約4
.8となシ大きな差が出る。従ってDσ2が前回よシ大
きい時には差分処理をくシ返す。First, count the data types, and if there are fewer data types than last time, perform differential processing and return. Also, when the data type is almost the same as the previous time, the variance value for that frequency, that is, the frequency, is Dl
When (N is the number of data), a judgment is made based on the size of fcDa''.In the example in Figure 4, comparing the distributions of a and b, assuming Huffman coding, in the case of fc , a has a higher compression ratio. Looking at Do'' in this case, a is about 36 and b is about 4
.. There is a huge difference between 8 and 8. Therefore, when Dσ2 is larger than the previous time, the differential processing is returned.
尚、上記のやシ方以外にも、実際にノ・7マンコード化
した後に、圧縮率を比較して判定を行なうことも熱論可
能である。In addition to the method described above, it is also possible to make a determination by comparing the compression ratios after actually converting into 7-man code.
ステップ34は、差分処理のくシ返しの判定、ステップ

ップ36は次に処理すべき部分領域の設定を行なう。In step 34, it is determined whether to repeat the differential processing. In step 35, it is determined whether all partial areas have been completed. In step 36, the partial area to be processed next is set.

1.52 is the original partial image, 511° and 512 are the values that have been subjected to differential processing once, and 522 are the values that have been subjected to differential processing twice. First, when comparing 51 and 511, it can be seen that the band is sufficiently compressed by one difference. The absolute bandwidth has been compressed by more than 60 bits, from a maximum of 20 bits (5 bits) to 4 bits (3 bits), and the number of data types has also been reduced from 13 bits to 4 bits, to about 30 bits.

納される。52 indicates a case where the width of density value fluctuation is larger than 51. In 521, which is the result of one-time difference processing, the absolute band ranges from a maximum of 2'00 (8 pits) to 40 (6 pits). bit) to about 75 *, the data type goes from 13 to 4, about 30
It has decreased to chi. In addition, the results of the second difference processing show that the absolute bandwidth has changed from maximum 20G (8 bits) to -10 (5 pits), about 62 inches, and the data type has changed from 13 to 3, about 11
FIG. 6 shows an example of a system configuration for realizing the processing of the present invention, and FIG. 7 shows a correspondence relationship between the configuration diagram of FIG. #I6 and the processing process. The image read from the film reader unit 61 is A/D converted and then transferred to the magnetic disk 6.
3. The image processor 62 cuts out a partial image from the image 63, performs an image compression process as shown in FIG. 3, encodes it, and stores the partial image on, for example, an optical disk 64. A compressed image is stored on the optical disk 64 by repeating the above-described processing for one screen.
