PURPOSE: A scalable video coding and decoding method and a device using the same are provided to supply various video services on a time, a space, or an image quality side according to a use purpose or various demands. CONSTITUTION: An encoding device and a decoding device determine whether inter layer prediction is applied to an enhanced layer(S1610). If the inter layer prediction is applied, the encoding device and the decoding device perform the prediction of a current layer of the enhanced layer based on reference information generated from a decoded reference picture of a reference layer(S1630). The encoding device and the decoding device restore or encode the current picture of the enhanced layer(S1640).

PURPOSE: An image encoding/decoding apparatus and method are provided to eliminate the use of a memory area necessary to deblocking filtering. CONSTITUTION: If bit stream for the compression of video data is outputted on the basis of the block video information of the video data and the differential signal of the video information, a reverse processing unit(107~109) performs the reverse transformation and reverse quantization of the video information and the addition of the differential signal. A deblocking filler(110) performs the deblocking of the added video information. A reference video buffer(111) stores the video information deblocked by the deblocking filler. One or more prediction units(101,112) performs the video prediction of the video information using the deblocked video information stored in the reference video buffer.

PURPOSE: A video encoding/decoding device using an adaptive conversion encoding/decoding region based on characteristic of a differential signal and a method thereof are provided not to include a boundary region signal inside a converting and encoding block, thereby increasing energy compaction of a signal after converting and encoding. CONSTITUTION: A signal divider(131) divides a differential signal of an image block into a non boundary area signal and a boundary area signal. A converting and encoding unit(133) performs a DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) of the non boundary area signal. A quantization unit(135) quantizes the DCT-converted non-boundary area signal in a frequency domain. A spatial area quantization unit(137) quantizes the boundary area signal in a space area.
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.
