| 20090067503 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIDEO DATA ENCODING AND DECODING - Video data encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses are provided. In the video data encoding and decoding methods, codes books are provided to an encoder and a decoder. In the encoder, an index corresponding to a vector that is most similar to a current vector of an input moving picture among the vectors of the code book is encoded. In the decoder, the index is decoded. Accordingly, it is possible to increase compression ratio and reduce calculation complexity. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090161759 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIDEO CODING ON PIXEL-WISE PREDICTION - Provided is a video encoding and decoding method and apparatus using pixel-based prediction. A pixel-based video encoding apparatus includes a block prediction unit, a residual image generation unit, a pixel prediction unit, and an entropy-coding unit. The block prediction unit performs temporal or spatial prediction between a reference image and a current image in order to generate a prediction block corresponding to a current block to be encoded. The residual image generation unit generates a residual image block composed of a residual signal corresponding to a difference between pixels of the prediction block and pixels of the current block. The pixel prediction unit determines whether to apply differential pulse coded modulation (DPCM) to each of pixels of the residual image block based on a rate distortion optimization (RDO) value calculated for the case where DPCM is applied to each of the pixels of the residual image block and a RDO value calculated for the case where DPCM is not applied to each of the pixels of the residual image block. The entropy-coding unit performs entropy-coding on the residual image block. | 06-25-2009 |
