Abstract:
Provided is a video encoding and decoding method and apparatus using pixel- based prediction. A pixel-based video encoding apparatus includes a block prediction unit, a residual image generation unit, a pixel prediction unit, and an entropy-coding unit. The block prediction unit performs temporal or spatial prediction between a reference image and a current image in order to generate a prediction block corresponding to a current block to be encoded. The residual image generation unit generates a residual image block composed of a residual signal corresponding to a difference between pixels of the prediction block and pixels of the current block. The pixel prediction unit determines whether to apply differential pulse coded modulation (DPCM) to each of pixels of the residual image block based on a rate distortion optimization (RDO) value calculated for the case where DPCM is applied to each of the pixels of the residual image block and a RDO value calculated for the case where DPCM is not applied to each of the pixels of the residual image block. The entropy-coding unit performs entropy-coding on the residual image block.

Abstract:
Since joint scalable video coding (JSVC) adopts a scheme in which numbers are assigned to all of the pictures according to the order in which the pictures are displayed, it is difficult to detect a drop (or loss) of a key picture and thus it is difficult to effectively take action against an error caused by the loss of the key picture. The present invention provides a coding method of detecting a loss of a key picture by numbering key pictures in JSVC in which predictive (P) pictures have a closed-loop structure and of effectively taking action against an error in the case of a loss of a key picture, and a codec using the coding method. The SVC method includes performing encoding while assigning a number to a key picture of an upper layer and performing decoding with respect to the number- encoded current key picture of the upper layer using data of a decoded image of a picture of a lower layer that is temporally matched with the current key picture of the upper layer when a loss of a key picture between the number-encoded current key picture of the upper layer and a previous key picture that is number-encoded prior to the current key picture is detected. Therefore, it is possible to effectively take action against to an error caused by a loss of a key picture by detecting the loss of a key picture during decoding by encoding using numbering of key pictures in JSVC in which closed-loop coding is performed by consecutively predicting key pictures. Moreover, it is possible to minimize degradation in image quality by concealing an error caused by an incorrect reference by using data of a decoded image of a corresponding picture of a lower base layer when a key picture of an upper layer is lost in an environment where transmission of the lower base layer is guaranteed with a video stream having a multi-layered structure.
