ABSTRACT:
A digital electronic still camera has an image pickup device to pick up an image to be photographed. The picked-up image data is compressed by a data compressing unit using the two-dimensional discrete cosine transformation (DCT), the optimum quantization table, and the Huffman coding. The optimum quantization table is selected by comparing a characteristic parameter of the image data with preliminarily obtained values for respective image kinds. The two-dimensional DCT provides transformation coefficients of image, which are linearly quantized with reference to the optimum quantization table. The quantized data is coded by the Huffman coding method to have a minimum length. The coded data is sent to a recording device, which records the coded data in a recording medium such as a memory card. Fuzzy control theory may be applied to determine whether the image attributes to a document, a portrait, or a landscape. The image attribute may also manually be set, for example, on an input device.
