Abstract:
An image encoder and a method thereof using a coordinate conversion of differential image for decoding the image are provided to encode input image efficiently by performing a DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) by using a basis vector. An input image divider(510) divides an input image into a plurality of image blocks including a conversion object block. A pixel coordinates converter(550) converts the coordinate of a first pixel included in the conversion object block into the coordinates of the second pixel within the conversion object block. A coding unit encodes the conversion object block transformed of coordinate. The pixel coordinate conversion unit converts the coordinates of the first pixel in consideration of the direction of the base vector of the discrete cosine transform.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for encoding/decoding a video by using separation of amplitude and sign of a differential signal are provided to take an absolute value for a differential signal generated after motion prediction, thereby improving the correlation of pixels within a block where DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) will be performed and accordingly increasing compression efficiency. A video prediction unit generates a prediction video with respect to an original video as an object for current encoding. A differential signal generating unit generates a differential signal between the original video and the prediction video. An amplitude/sign separating unit generates a sign bit(sign bit for compensation) for performing restoring of the differential signal and amplitude from the differential signal. An encoding unit performs transform encoding, quantization and entropy encoding with respect to the differential signal amplitude, and performs entropy encoding of the sign bit for compensation. A decoding unit performs inverse-transform of the differential signal amplitude, transform-encoded and quantized in the encoding unit, so as to perform restore into the original differential signal. By performing sign compensation by using the sign bit for compensation and performing motion compensation for the sign-compensated differential signal, the decoding unit restores the original video and stores the restored original video as a new reference video.
