Abstract:
The present invention provides a picture coding apparatus which can reduce a load in decoding. When a RAU to be coded is an open GOP type RAU, the present invention includes: a motion estimation unit (401), a motion compensation unit (402), and the like which codes a picture to be coded to generate a BI-picture; a BI information generation unit (413) which generates a RAU map (MIa) indicating whether or not the BI-picture is positioned in a display order immediately before a starting I-picture in the RAU of the stream (STR); and a variable length coding unit (411) which writes the RAU map (MIa) into the RAU of the stream (STR).

Abstract:
The multiplexing apparatus which does not make a user who watches a moving picture feel uncomfortable, the moving picture including: (i) a coding unit (42) for generating one or more coded streams so that no gap occurs at the connection of predetermined two access units in a process of decoding, in sequence, the two access units in all of the access units included in the coded streams; and (ii) a multiplexing unit (18) for multiplexing, with other information, the coded streams generated in the coding unit (42).
Abstract:
There is provided a mobile terminal device capable of showing a television broadcast to a user even if the battery remaining amount is small when the television broadcast is being displayed or to be displayed and performing operation intended by the user. The mobile terminal device (100) includes a TV broadcast reception unit (101) for receiving a television broadcast signal, a TV broadcast processing unit (102) for decoding a television broadcast signal stream received, a power management unit (111) for detecting the battery remaining amount of a battery (112) and reporting it to a control unit (109) at a predetermined time interval, and the control unit (109) for instructing another device to record the television broadcast or the TV broadcast processing unit (102) to lower the display frame rate when the battery remaining amount of the battery (112) has become a predetermined amount or below.
Abstract:
There is provided an encoding or decoding device detachable from a recording/reproduction terminal having a general-purpose slot. A recording/reproduction device includes a recording/reproduction terminal (103) for recording or reproducing a signal representing audio or video, and a removable encoding device (100) detachably connected to the recording/reproduction terminal (103). The recording/reproduction terminal (103) includes a terminal information storage unit (105) for storing terminal information as information associated with the recording/reproduction terminal (103). The removable encoding device (100) includes a terminal information acquisition unit (101) for acquiring terminal information from the recording/reproduction terminal (103) when the removable encoding device (100) is connected to the recording/reproduction terminal (103), and a signal conversion unit (102) for encoding or decoding a signal representing audio or video according to the terminal information acquired.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a picture coding apparatus which can reduce a load in decoding. A picture coding apparatus (200) includes: a motion estimation unit (201) and a motion compensation unit (202) which codes each picture according to a picture type of the picture; an information generation unit (213) which generates a map that indicates a still picture sequence in a random access unit which includes a plurality of coded pictures; and a variable length coding unit (211) which writes, into the random access unit, the map that is generated by the information generation unit (213).
Abstract:
A picture coding apparatus (10) which generates a stream so as to be able to decode a picture by obtaining a picture parameter set necessary for decoding the picture even at the time of trick-play, the apparatus including: a slice coding unit (11) which codes the picture and generates coded data; a picture parameter set (PPS) generation unit (13) which generates sequence parameter set (SPS); a PPS generation unit (16) which generates the PPS; and an access unit (AU) determination unit 17 which stores pieces of coded data respectively into access units of a random access unit (RAU) and stores the SPS into a first AU, and stores the PPS into the first AU or into the AU in which one piece of the coded data that refers to the PPS is stored.
Abstract:
A stream generation apparatus of the present invention is a stream generation apparatus which generates a stream including coded pictures and a command for managing a buffer which holds a decoded picture, the command being added to one of the coded pictures as a reference picture. It includes a judging unit which judges whether or not the coded picture to which the command is added is skipped at the time of trick-play, an adding unit which adds, in the case where the coded picture is judged to be skipped, repetition information indicating the same contents as the command to another coded picture that follows, in decoding order, the coded picture judged to be skipped and that is not skipped at the time of the trick-play, and a generating unit which generates the stream including the coded pictures, the command and the repetition information.
Abstract:
To provide a moving picture stream generation apparatus and the like that generates a moving picture stream that can be played back in trick-play such as variable-speed playback and reverse playback even in a coding format such as the MPEG-4 AVC in which flexible prediction structures are allowed. A moving picture stream generation apparatus includes: a trick-play information generation unit TricPlay for generating supplemental information on a random access unit basis, the supplemental information being referred to at the time of playback of each random access unit and each random access unit including one or more pictures; and a variable length coding unit VLC for generating a stream including the generated supplemental information and the one or more pictures by adding the supplemental information to each corresponding random access unit. At the top of each random access unit, an intra coded picture that can be decoded without depending on any picture is placed, and the supplemental information includes information for specifying pictures to be decoded at the time when pictures included in each random access unit are played back in trick-play.
