Abstract

A video signal is converted into compressed frame signals, each comprising a coefficient signal of block coefficient signals for each frame in a video image. Each of the block coefficient signals represents the pixels in a pixel map block (420) with the coefficients in a hybrid polynomial. The hybrid polynomial contains discrete cosine terms, a constant term separated from the discrete cosine terms, and polynomial terms extracted from the discrete cosine terms. Each block coefficient signal contains a background component representing a coefficient of the constant term, a linear component representing the coefficients of the polynomial terms, and a nonlinear component representing the coefficients of the discrete cosine terms.
