1. An apparatus for encoding video data comprising(a) memory means for storing input video data having a plurality of image areas;
- (b) detector means for detecting each of said image areas;
(c) means for encoding image areas detected by said detector means sequentially to geometric command data; and
(d) means for detecting a pair of vertexes whose binding segment of a line is only in an unencoded area;
wherein any other vertex in the encoded area between said pair of vertexes is ignored by said means for encoding when said pair of vertexes are detected.

Abstract
An image signal encoding system wherein image signal is directly taken in through video camera, changed to digital data, broken down into PDI basic patterns, and then converted into NAPLPS code automatically. The taken-in image signal is divided into a plurality of areas and the information amount of the image signal is reduced for adequate encoding after taking in the image signal. Usually "POLYGON" command is used as the NAPLPS code.

10. An apparatus for processing video data comprising:
-
(a) first memory means for storing video data having an image area; (b) first detector means for detecting a direction of a boundary of said image; (c) second memory means for storing a boundary data of said image area; and (d) means for encoding said video data of each image area sequentially to geometric command data, wherein said first detector means includes second detector means for detecting whether the picture element read out from said first memory means is equal to each of the picture elements surrounding said picture element and determines said direction by the outputs of said second detector means and said second memory means, and further wherein said second detector means for determining said direction is incorporated with said second memory means. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
