Abstract
A method for reducing data amount in an image memory system is disclosed. First, it omits one image column from every N image column in left and right portions of the input image, respectively, based on a predetermined percentage, thereby obtaining an image having a reduced data amount. Next, the image having the reduced data amount is sent to an image encoder to encode and accordingly store an encoded image. Then, the encoded image is transmitted to an image decoder through a transmission channel. Then, the encoded image is decoded by the image decoder as received, thereby obtaining a decoding image. Finally, a pixel insertion is performed on reduced image columns of the decoded image.
