摘要

A tile image sequence obtained by dividing a frame into a predetermined size is further divided into another predetermined size on an image plane to generate a voxel (for example, a voxel. If a redundancy in a space direction or a time direction exists, then data is reduced in the direction, and sequences in the time direction are deployed on a two-dimensional plane. Voxel images are placed on an image plane of a predetermined size to generate one integrated image. In a grouping pattern which exhibits a minimum quantization error, pixels are collectively placed in the region of each voxel image for each group (integrated image). The integrated image after the re-placement is compressed in accordance with a predetermined compression method to generate a compressed image and reference information for determining the position of a needed pixel.
