20090297053 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE AND IMAGE ENCODING METHOD - The invention aims at reducing the circuit size while maintaining the creation of a predictive image suitable for the intra prediction based on a pipeline processing. The encoding device operable to perform intra prediction in blocks of pixels resulting from division of a frame of a moving image has a pseudo-local-decode-image-creation module for simply encoding an original image, and an intra prediction module for using the created pseudo local decode image to select an intra prediction mode. In the intra prediction based on pipeline processing, the pipeline stage for selecting an intra prediction mode and the pipeline stage for creating predictive image data according to the selected intra prediction mode are separated. | 12-03-2009 |
20110080951 | Image Encoding Method, Image Decoding Method, Image Encoding Apparatus, Image Decoding Apparatus, and Program - A technique for improving a compression rate without needing new determination information (encoding flag information) is provided. For compression of each area to be encoded, based on a skip mode (a process which does not compress information of the area to be encoded, but copies previous information of the area to be encoded), it is determined whether an existing predicted image generated by an existing encoding standard is used, or an interpolation predicted image newly generated by executing move searching between decoded images is used. | 04-07-2011 |
20110182361 | IMAGE DECODING METHOD AND IMAGE CODING METHOD - The present invention is directed to improve compression efficiency by variable-length coding in accordance with characteristics of image data to be processed. An apparatus for compressing quantized data by variable-length coding includes: a statistical information storing memory ( | 07-28-2011 |
20130243097 | IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND IMAGE DECODING DEVICE - For the purpose of providing an image encoding technique for reducing the amount of codes, in inter prediction in which motion search is performed by using a block obtained by dividing an input image and a reference image, the motion vector of the block is predicted by selecting from the motion vectors of the surrounding blocks. Further, in the method of calculating a differential vector and then performing encoding, the number or positions of candidate blocks from which a prediction vector is selected are changed block by block or frame by frame and thereby adaptive and efficient video image compression is performed. | 09-19-2013 |
20130251038 | IMAGE DECODING DEVICE - In expansion and reduction of the size of a macroblock in a moving image encoding, a compression ratio falls because an information amount for describing size information of the macroblock increases. An image decoding device includes a CU dividing unit and a CU-size storing unit. The CU-size storing unit has stored therein size information of an encoded CU in an encoding target picture to be stored and size information of all CUs in preceding and following pictures used for prediction. The CU dividing unit predicts a CU size in an encoding target position using the CU size information stored in the CU-size storing unit and determines a CU size of a final encoding target CU. | 09-26-2013 |
