20090238270 | Apparatus and method for modifying predicted values, and decoding system - An apparatus for modifying predicted values in a predicted image for input to a decoder starts by taking the most significant information bit plane from the predicted image and submitting it to the decoder to be decoded. Subsequent information bit planes are then taken in descending order and submitted to the decoder, but first each of these information bit planes is modified at the locations of prediction errors identified in the preceding information bit plane by comparing that information bit plane with the corresponding decoded bit plane. The modifications improve the general accuracy of the decoded image, enabling the decoder to decode the bit planes with less additional coded information than would otherwise be required. The apparatus is useful in distributed video coding systems. | 09-24-2009 |
20100050050 | Coding system, encoding apparatus, and decoding apparatus - An encoding apparatus includes a systematic encoder that generates information bits and parity bits, both of which are transmitted selectively to a decoding apparatus. At certain points, sufficient bit data are transmitted to identify the state of the systematic encoder. The decoding apparatus partitions the received bits at these identifiable points, and processes each partition separately by predicting the information bits, modifying the predicted information bits according to the received information bits, and using the parity bits to correct errors in the resulting information bits. In video coding, this partitioning scheme can deal flexibly with multiple image formats without requiring extra decoding circuitry. With a parallel decoding apparatus, the number of decoding units operating concurrently can be changed flexibly. The error correcting capability of the decoding apparatus is also improved. | 02-25-2010 |

The predictive image decoder predicts the image, using a simplified prediction method for parts of the image identified by the error information as not being changed, and decodes the encoded data and the predicted data to obtain decoded image data. Use of the simplified prediction method in unchanged parts of the image reduces the prediction processing load without significant loss of prediction accuracy. | 03-25-2010 |

When it is determined to perform a decoding process with additional coded data, the preset value generating/updating part updates the preset value based on previous decoding process results. | 09-23-2010 |
20110258522 | Encoding apparatus, decoding apparatus, and encoding and decoding system - An encoding apparatus derives a bit order based on a puncturing table that specifies different puncturing patterns for different transmission rates. The encoding apparatus then generates an error correcting code from an input information bit string and rearranges the error correcting code in the derived bit order. The error correcting code is punctured by taking a number of consecutive bits from the rearranged error correcting code. The number of bits taken varies depending on the transmission rate. The punctured error correcting code is output to a decoding apparatus, which realigns the code bits according to the transmission rate and the puncturing table, then uses the realigned error correcting code to correct errors in erroneous data. Rearrangement of the error correcting code makes the puncturing process more efficient by avoiding the need to decide whether to take or discard each bit individually. | 10-20-2011 |
