Abstract:
PURPOSE: An encoding and decoding method using adaptive bit depth reduction and a device thereof are provided to prevent an image from being encoded at an excessive bit depth by adaptively selecting and performing bit depth reduction by macro block unit. CONSTITUTION: An encoding device includes a bit depth control unit(110), a bit depth reducing unit(120), a bit depth quantization unit(130), and a bit depth increasing unit(140). When the bit depth control unit determines the bit depth reduction of an input signal, the bit depth reducing unit reduces a bit depth of the input signal. The bit depth reducing unit shifts the bit depth as much as a selected value to reduce the bit depth or reduces the bit depth by using a mapping table.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image encoding/decoding apparatus and a method thereof are provided to effectively predict an MV in the compression and encoding of an image. CONSTITUTION: In case the arbitrary MV(Motion Vector) of a current block is predicted within an image, an MV prediction unit(100) performs the prediction of the MV with at least one of the vector information of an MV corresponding to a peripheral block and the vector information of the previous MV of the current block. Difference decision units(201,202) decide difference information about the MV of the current block on the basis of the predicted MV and the actual MV of the current block.

PURPOSE: An image encoding/decoding apparatus and method thereof are provided to efficiently predict an encoding parameter from a block within a slide in which a target block is included and to increase image compression performance. CONSTITUTION: A control unit determines a reference block for the prediction of an in-screen encoding parameter(S210). The control unit predicts the encoding parameter through the encoding parameter of the reference block(S220). The control unit performs entropy encoding about the encoding parameter through the encoding parameter of the reference block(S230).

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for predicting most probable mode in an intra prediction system using prediction mode information are provided to improve encoding efficiency and reduce the bit rate. CONSTITUTION: A peripheral block read unit(402) reads each prediction mode and a corresponding location with a current block. A weighted value allocation unit(404) uses a relative weighted value in consideration of the relative position of the current block and the weighted value is assigned to the peripheral block each prediction mode.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Encoding/decoding apparatus and method using DCT/DST selectively are provided to increase a compression ratio of an image block by performing inter/intra prediction between images for a fixed size blocks and then conversion and quantization. CONSTITUTION: A first conversion unit(220) converts a target image into a first conversion coefficient using DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). A second conversion unit(230) converts the target image into a second conversion coefficient using DST(Discrete Sine Transform). A conversion method decision unit(260) selects the first or second conversion coefficients as a conversion coefficients for the target image. The first conversion unit creates a first decoding image for the target image based on the first conversion coefficient. The second conversion unit creates a decoding image for the target image based on the second conversion coefficient.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A filter for deblocking an intra macro block and a filtering method therefor are provided to perform adaptive deblocking filtering using a video block unit quantization parameter in a macro block boundary included in the intra macro block. CONSTITUTION: A filtering value generating unit(610) generates a filtering value based on an adjacent pixel value of the outermost pixel adjacent to a boundary of an intra macro block and a quantization parameter of the intra macro block. A deblocking filter(620) performs deblocking filtering on the outermost pixel based on the filtering value. If the filtering value is larger than a positive number critical value, the filtering value generating unit determines the positive critical value as the filtering value.
