Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a reference picture index of a temporal merging candidate. An inter-picture prediction method using a temporal merging candidate can include the steps of: determining a reference picture index for a current block; and inducing a temporal merging candidate block of the current block and calculating a temporal merging candidate from the temporal merging candidate block, wherein the reference picture index of the temporal merging candidate can be calculated regardless of whether a block other than the current block is decoded. Accordingly, a video processing speed can be increased and video processing complexity can be reduced.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding image using a motion vector. According to one embodiment of the present invention, an image-decoding method is provided. The image-decoding method comprises the following steps: clipping a motion vector of a reference picture with a predetermined dynamic range so as to generate a clipped motion vector; storing the clipped motion vector in a buffer; deriving a motion vector of a block to be decoded using the motion vector stored in the buffer; and performing inter-prediction decoding using the motion vector of the block to be decoded. According to the present invention, the size of a memory space required to store a motion vector may be reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a texture description method in frequency domains and a texture-based retrieval method using the same, in which image signals are converted into those in a frequency domain of Polar coordinate system. The texture description method in the frequency domain comprises: a first step of generating a frequency layout by partitioning the frequency domain into a set of feature channels; a second step of extracting the texture feature values of the image from the respective feature channels; and a third step of constituting a texture descriptor of the image in a vector form using the texture feature values extracted from the respective feature channels of the frequency layout. According to the present invention, in a texture-based retrieval described in the frequency domain, a retrieval method capable of satisfying respective or all the retrieval conditions such as scale-, rotation- and intensity-invariant retrieval of relevant texture images is provided. Also, a retrieval method of computing the rough scheme of texture to provide a browsing functionality in retrieving is provided.

Abstract:
Retrieving images where channels obtained by transforming the stored and query images to the frequency domain and partitioning them are compared to retrieve similar images. Specifically, the distance between the texture descriptors obtained from the channels is used to measure the similarity of the images. Also disclosed is retrieving images where texture descriptors and rotation information obtained from the stored and query images is used to retrieve images. Specifically, the rotation information obtained from the query image is compared with the rotation information of the stored image, these images are then aligned using this information. The similarity of the images is then measured by comparing the distance between the texture descriptors in both images.
