Data management apparatus and data management method
A data management method is disclosed. The data management method includes receiving input image data including a plurality of frames, sorting a type of a frame included in the input image data, and erasing one or more I-frames among the plurality of frames included in the input image data or erasing at least a portion of data corresponding to the one or more I-frames among the plurality of frames included in the input image data. Thus, the data management method stores a low amount of image data in a limited storage space while minimizing loss of the image data, thereby effectively storing and managing data.
1. A data management method comprising:
receiving input image data comprising a plurality of frames;
sorting a type of a frame included in the input image data; and
erasing one or more I-frames while retaining P-frames and B-frames corresponding to the erased one or more I-frames among the plurality of frames included in the input image data or erasing at least a portion of data corresponding to the one or more I-frames while retaining P-frames and B-frames corresponding to the one or more I-frames which are erased at least the portion of data among the plurality of frames included in the input image data,
wherein the erasing comprises erasing a portion of data corresponding to a consecutively arranged first I-frame and second I-frame, wherein an erased region of data corresponding to the first I-frame is different from an erased region of data corresponding to the second I-frame, and
wherein the erased region of the data corresponding to the second I-frame corresponds to a non-erased region of the data corresponding to the first I-frame.
2. The data management method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing remaining data of the input image data.
3. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises determining I-frames to be erased and the number of frames to be erased, according to a sequence of the plurality of frames.
4. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises erasing I-frames at a predetermined period.
5. The data management method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining a motion degree of the plurality of frames,
wherein the erasing comprises erasing more frames as the motion degree is reduced, than in a case of a high motion degree.
6. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises erasing more frames in region with a low frame bit rate of the image data than a region with a high frame bit rate.
7. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein an erased region of a third I-frame subsequent to the second I-frame is different from the erased regions of the data corresponding to the first and second I-frames.
8. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises determining I-frames with partial data being erased and the number of frames with partial data being erased, according to a sequence of the plurality of I-frames.
9. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises erasing a portion of data corresponding to a plurality of I-frames at a predetermined period.
10. The data management method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining a motion degree of the plurality of frames,
wherein the erasing comprises erasing a portion of data corresponding to more frames as the motion degree is reduced, than in a case of a high motion degree.
11. The data management method according to claim 1 , wherein the erasing comprises erasing a portion of data corresponding to more frames in region with a low frame bit rate of the image data than a region with a high frame bit rate.
12. A data management apparatus comprising:
an interface device for receiving input image data comprising a plurality of frames; and
a controller for sorting a type of a frame included in the input image data,
wherein the controller controls to erase one or more I-frames while retaining P-frames and B-frames corresponding to the erased one or more I-frames among the plurality of frames included in the input image data or to erase at least a portion of data corresponding to the one or more I-frames while retaining P-frames and B-frames corresponding to the one or more I-frames which are erased at least the portion of data among the plurality of frames included in the input image data,
wherein the controller controls to erase a portion of data corresponding to a consecutively arranged first I-frame and second I-frame, wherein an erased region of data corresponding to the first I-frame is different from an erased region of data corresponding to the second I-frame, and
wherein the erased region of the data corresponding to the second I-frame corresponds to a non-erased region of the data corresponding to the first I-frame.
13. The data management apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising a storage unit for storing remaining data of the input image data.
14. The data management apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the controller determines I-frames to be erased and the number of frames to be erased, according to a sequence of the plurality of frames.
15. The data management apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the controller controls to erase I-frames at a predetermined period.
16. The data management apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the controller determines a motion degree of the plurality of frames, and erases a portion of data corresponding to more frames as the motion degree is reduced, than in a case of a high motion degree.
