Abstract
An encoder encoding an Npixel data of 2×M pixel data and a decoder decoding an Nencoded pixel data of 2×M encoded pixel data are provided. A first to an Mpixel data are belonged to an (i−1)data block. An (M+1)to a (2×M)pixel data are belonged to an idata block. i>1. M<N≦2×M. If the Npixel data is similar to one of the (N−1)pixel data, the local minimum or maximum of the (i−1)data block, the encoder encodes the difference between the Npixel data and the similar one into the Nencoded pixel data. When decoding the Nencoded pixel data, the decoder adds the Nencoded pixel data to one of a (N−1)decoded pixel data, local minimum and maximum of a (i−1)decoded block data.
