Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a method for compressing digital input signals at high compression efficiency and reproducing the input data perfectly. The method includes the steps of: converting a digital input signal in each frame to bitstreams according to a sign-magnitude format; deblocking the bitstreams into individual bits; joining each bit in a time sequence while retaining an identical chronological order of bits in all the frames; and reversibly encoding each bitstream obtained by joining the bits. And, the reversible decoding method includes the steps of: reversibly decoding a reversible code sequence in each frame; deblocking the bitstreams obtained by reversible decoding into individual bits; joining each bit in a time sequence while retaining an identical chronological order of bits in all the frames; and joining successive frames obtained by joining the bits.
