Claims
- 1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a) input means for inputting image data, coded by a predetermined compression coding method, from a plurality of external devices, wherein said predetermined compression coding method comprises a block-coding method in which an image is divided into blocks each having a predetermined size and then coded on a block unit basis;
- b) generating means for generating coded image data for one frame by synthesizing, on the block unit basis, the plurality of coded image data inputted by said input means without decoding the plurality of coded image data; and
- c) decoding means for decoding the coded image data for one frame generated by said generating means.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the coded image data is obtained by coding image data by an orthogonal transformation.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the coded image data inputted by said input means is reduced image data.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising output means for outputting image data decoded by said decoding means to a display unit.
- 5. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said input means inputs control data related to the coded image data together with the coded image data.
- 6. An apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising changing means for changing the control data.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control data comprises data indicating a format of the inputted coded image data.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the coded image data inputted by said input means comprises a signal of a QCIF format, and wherein said generating means generates coded image data of a CIF format by gathering the coded image data of the QCIF format.
- 9. Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control data comprises data indicating a position in which the image data is displayed.
