Abstract:
Disclosed are an image encoding method using a skip mode and a device using the method. The image encoding method may comprise the steps of: judging whether there is residual block data of a prediction target block on the basis of predetermined data indicating whether residual block data has been encoded; and, if there is residual block data, restoring the prediction target block on the basis of the residual block data and an intra-screen predictive value of the prediction target block. Consequently, encoding and decoding efficiency can be increased by carrying out the encoding and decoding of screen residual data only for prediction target blocks where there is a need for a residual data block in accordance with screen similarity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of synchronizing a reference image with an additional image of a real-time broadcasting program, the method comprising the steps of: generating at least one frame having a predetermined identifier for providing notice of the start time of the reference image to a receiver in advance; and transmitting at least one frame having the predetermined identifier to the receiver. Alternatively, the method of synchronizing a reference image with an additional image of a real-time broadcasting program comprises the steps of: generating signaling information containing additional image interlocking information at a transmission side in order to prepare for the additional image interlocked with the reference image of the real-time broadcasting program at a reception side in advance; and providing the signaling information to the receiver. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and effectively perform the synchronization of a 3D reference image of the real-time broadcasting program with a 3D additional image stored in the receiver or a streamed 3D additional image.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a signaling method for a stereoscopic video service and an apparatus using the method. An image decoding method comprises: a step of determining a field value based on a broadcast service type and a display mode in decoding a program level descriptor; and a step of determining an encoded stream type, whether an elementary stream is a reference stream, whether the elementary stream is a left-eye image or a right-eye image, additional image upsampling information and information on a subsampled line. Thus, efficiency of encoding/decoding an additional image for a stereoscopic video content may increase.
Abstract:
Method and device for synchronizing reference image and supplementary image in real-time broadcast program. The present invention provides a synchronization method for: calculating a time difference between a current frame of a reference image and a reference time stamp on the basis of the reference time stamp, which is contained in a program level descriptor and indicates a start time of a frame regarding a reference image; and adjusting synchronization between the frame regarding the reference image and a frame regarding a supplementary image by using the time difference. Since synchronous time information is signaled together with a stream delivered in real time, synchronization between a stored supplementary image and a reference image transmitted in real time is enabled even though a first PMT of a time when a stereoscopic video service is started is not received or a packet error is generated. Thus, the invention can provide a stable stereoscopic image service

The present invention discloses an apparatus and a method for transmitting a packet and an apparatus and a method for receiving a packet in an MPEG media transport (MMT) system. The apparatus for transmitting the packet transmits the packet from the MMT system, and comprises an MMT packetizing portion for generating an MMT packet based on an inputted presentation unit, wherein the MMT packetizing portion generates the MMT packet by comprising at least one of presentation time stamp (PTS) information, which is timing information that indicates a presentation time of the presentation unit to a header of an E layer, information for measuring a network jitter to a header of a D layer, or information for media synchronization.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heterogeneous network-based linked broadcast content transmitting/receiving system and method. A transmission system generates a basic content stream on basic content constituting broadcast content and transmits the generated basic content stream to a terminal through a broadcast network, and also generates an additional content stream on additional content linked to the basic content and transmits the generated additional content stream to a terminal through a communication network. At least one of linkage playback information on the basic content and linkage playback information on the additional content is further transmitted to the terminal. Additionally, a reception terminal receives the basic content stream, the additional content stream, and the linkage playback information, and then synchronizes the basic content with the additional content and plays them back in order to playback broadcast content in real time.

The present invention discloses an apparatus and a method for transmitting a packet and an apparatus and a method for receiving a packet, based on a timing model of an MPEG media transport (MMT) system, which is integrated by considering the advantages of a timing model in an MPEG-2 system and an RTP timing model. The apparatus for transmitting the packet transmits the packet from the MMT system, and comprises: a video stream that is encoded based on an input picture; and an MMT packetizing portion for generating the MMT packet by packetizing an audio stream that corresponds to the video stream, wherein the MMT packetizing portion generates the MMT packet by including synchronization information, which is generated based on a system time clock (STC) that is a master program clock for a video and audio encoder, and an MMT buffering delay. As a result, synchronization of various media sources, measurement of a packet arrival jitter, as well as STC clock locking of the apparatus for transmitting and the apparatus for receiving the MMT can be achieved.
