ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are easy-to-realize multivalued image coding and decoding devices, each of which is capable of reducing memories in number while the accuracy of calculations necessary upon coding and decoding is being held and relaxing a probability estimate. An image disassembler disassembles a bit string indicative of pixels into a plurality of parts in response to image data inputted from an image input unit. Further, the image disassembler sends the value of each disassembled pixel to be coded and the value of each disassembled pixel for reference to an image analyzer as disassembled image data. The image analyzer sends the value of each disassembled pixel to be coded to a coding unit as disassembled pixel-value data and transmits the value of the reference pixel to a probability estimate unit as status data. The probability estimate unit sends probability estimate data corresponding to the status data to the coding unit. The coding unit creates a codeword for each disassembled part from the probability estimate data and the disassembled pixel-value data and sends it to a code output unit as coded data.
