ABSTRACT:
An image signal analyzing system capable of accomplishing shape analysis for processing or coding an image with easy, by space division using two orthogonal representative vectors, or by differential representative vectors given by the difference between representative vectors. With such a system, inner products between mean separated blocks produced by a mean separated unit and a differential representative vector set stored in a memory in advance are computed by inner product computing unit disposed into a binary tree shape having n stages. Positive
egative signs expressing resulting inner products in the respective stages of the binary tree computed by the inner product computing unit are held, as indexes, by n index holding means sequentially, and an index representing the shape of input image information is obtained from the n indexes held by the index holding unit.
