The three kinds of binary data r (n) 'g (n) and b (n) add up to 3 bits, and the interface is in cm. In addition, the binary data r (n), w, and μ S (n) ′ b (n) are pre-compressed. There is no need to perform compression processing on the CPU 17, so the calculation processing can be greatly simplified.

又,有關於CPU17對驅動電路12之曝光控制或對類比處理 電路13及數位處理電路15之控制動作,係如第1囷所示與 CPU8為相同之動作。然後,對二進位化電路16,亦如對數 位處理電路15之控制動作,將訊號處理之時序同步於前段 電路’即同步於數位處理電路15。圖像資料記憶18係如第 1圖所示之圖像記憶電路9相同,連接於CPln7,依序記憶 取進於CPU17之二進位資料r(n),g(n),b(n)。The exposure control of the drive circuit 12 by the CPU 17 or the control processing of the analog processing circuit 13 and the digital processing circuit 15 is the same operation as that of the CPU 8 as shown in Fig. 1 (a). Then, the binary circuit 16 is also controlled by the digital processing circuit 15 to synchronize the timing of the signal processing with the previous stage circuit, that is, the digital processing circuit 15. The image data memory 18 is the same as the image memory circuit 9 shown in Fig. 1 and is connected to CPln7. It sequentially stores the binary data r (n), g (n), and b (n) taken into the CPU17.

As shown above, the binary display data r (n) 'g (n), b (n)' s display system or printing system 'is better than the received image data D2 (n >) for display or printing based on the quality of its reproduced image. “Degradation” can be achieved only by applying high-frequency vibration processing to each component. Gradation display can achieve sufficient image quality. In particular, the greater the number of light-receiving pixels of the imaging element M, the higher the quality of the reproduced image. Therefore, the effect of the present invention is extremely great. According to the present invention, at the signal processing stage of the image data, the data of each color component can be binarized.

Description of the invention (10) 'When composed of white (W), green (G), cyan (Cy) and yellow (Y), the red (R) component can be taken out with ff_Cy' can be taken with ff-Ye Take out the blue (B) component. In addition, the Ye component can obtain the R component, and the Cy-G component can obtain the B component. To implement this color calculation processing, a digital signal processing circuit 25 constitutes a space color mirror such as 3 rows × 3 columns. The color component data R (n), G (n), and B (η) obtained by the digital processing circuit 25 have the number of bits corresponding to the A / D conversion circuit 24, respectively. The data compression circuit 26 performs a compression process on the color components R (n), G (n), and B (n) to generate compressed data r (n), g (n), and b (n) that reduce the number of bits. The compression process may be a high-frequency vibration process and an error diffusion process. For example, when high-frequency vibration processing is used, the color component data R (n), G (n), and B (n) are binarized based on the arbitrarily set high-frequency vibration pattern, as shown in FIG. 7 'Synchronization At the horizontal transfer clock of the driving circuit 22, compressed data r (n), g (n), and b (n) of each bit representing each color component are generated by a bit. When the error diffusion process is used, the color component data R (n), G (n), and B (n) are binarized according to a certain reference value, and the errors occurring at that time are allocated to the surrounding pixels and added. Using this error diffusion processing, like high frequency vibration processing, compressed data r (n) > g (n), b (n) as shown in Fig. 7 can be obtained. In addition, in the compressed data r (n) 'g (n), b (n), in addition to the binary representation', it can also be expressed in the form of 4-bit (2 bits) or 8-bit (3 bits) or more. The number of bits mentioned above can be determined by considering the operating speed of the circuit or the desired quality of the reproduced picture. The CPU 27 controls the operations of each part according to the control program, and simultaneously takes in three types of compressed data r (n), g (n), and b (n) output by the data compression circuit 26 and sequentially stores them into the image data memory 28 for storage.

Description of the invention (11) The cockroach data r (n), g (n), and b (n), respectively expressed in one bit, are taken into the input interface and directly written into the circle image data The memory 28 is written as shown in Figure 7 at this time. The setting is synchronized with the horizontal rotation of the driving circuit 22. Therefore, the CPU 27 does not need to perform compression processing on the compressed data r (n) 'g (n), b (n), so that the arithmetic processing can be greatly simplified.

Billion. Memory capture image data memory 28; compressed data r (n), g (n), b (n) are read out to CPU 27 when necessary, and output directly to external equipment. The compressed data r (n), g (n), b (n) of the above-mentioned compressed data display system or printing system is better than the image quality of the reproduced image when the image data D2 (n) is displayed or printed. Although it may be deteriorated, high-frequency vibration processing is applied to each component to obtain sufficient image quality from the gradation simulation display. In particular, the more light-receiving pixels of the imaging element 21, the higher the quality of the reproduced picture can be obtained, so the effect of the present invention is great. According to the present invention, it is corresponding to the chronological data record and memory writing sequence of the compressed data, and the video is automatically recorded without parts. Therefore, a frame memory is not required during the message processing. Since the structure of the device circuit is simplified, a low-cost camera system is realized.

The matrix generation circuit 36 is composed of a dark current detection section 41 'a peak detection section 43, a differential detection section 44' a matrix section 42 and a multiplier 45, and a "dark current detection section" 41 corresponds to the sampling signal supplied by the timing control circuit 38 The implementation of the sampling of the image data due to display and display the black reference level part. Generally, the light receiving element of the camera element 314 is from its surrounding area to 20 pixels multiplied by shading, so it can be taken out from the black reference level of the image signal. 0 to 20 pixel points. The matrix section 42 is to generate a high-frequency vibration matrix by periodically or arbitrarily arranging a plurality of black reference levels detected by the dark current detection section 41 into a row of pixel points. The unit 43 is based on the dark current detected by the dark current measurement unit 41 during each horizontal scan. The complex black reference level poison value is detected and maintained. The differential detection unit 44 is generated by the peak detection unit 43 during each horizontal scanning period. The calculated difference between the peak value and the peak value detected during the previous horizontal scanning period generates coefficient data according to the calculation result. Then, the multiplier 45 multiplies each high-frequency vibration data τ⑷ 'of the high-frequency vibration matrix generated by the matrix portion 42 by the multiplier 45. The coefficient data provided by the differential detection unit 44 is used to modify the high-frequency vibration matrix β. This correction is to correct the dark current component caused by the time difference when the information element 31 transfers information charges. When the configured plurality of light-receiving pixels are transferred and output, there is a relationship that the current component increases according to the time difference of the transfer timing of each row.
