Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for encoding and/or decoding digital images or video streams, wherein the encoding apparatus (1100) comprises processing means (1110) configured for reading a portion of said image (f), computing difference values between pixel values of the image, quantizing such pixel difference values for obtaining a quantized weight map (W), computing an edge map (f') composed by elements (f'i) indicating whether a corresponding pixel of said portion of the image is an edge or not on the basis of the quantized weight map, determining a reconstructed weight map (W') on the basis of the edge map (f'), determining a graph transform matrix (U) on the basis of the reconstructed weight map (W'), computing transform coefficients (f^) on the basis of the graph transform matrix (U) and said portion of the image (f), transmitting the computed transform coefficients (f^) and the edge map (f').
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for encoding and/or decoding digital images or video streams, wherein the encoding apparatus (11) comprises processing means (1100) configured for reading at least a portion of an image (f), determining a rotation angle (θ) on the basis of said portion of said image (f), determining rotated transform matrix (V ') which is the result of a rotation of at least one basis vector of a Discrete Cosine Transform matrix (V) by said rotation angle (θ), computing transformed coefficients (f^) on the basis of the pixel values contained in said portion of the image (f) and said rotated transform information (V'), outputting the transformed coefficients (f^) to said destination (1110).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for encoding and/or decoding digital images or video streams, wherein the encoding apparatus (1100) comprises processing means (1110) configured for reading at least a portion of said image, segmenting the portion of said image in order to obtain groups of pixels identified by borders information and containing at least two pixels having one or more homogeneous characteristics, computing, for each group of pixels, a weight map on the basis of the borders information associated to said group of pixels (P i ), a graph transform matrix on the basis of said weight map, and transform coefficients on the basis of said graph transform matrix (U) and of the pixels contained in said group of pixels.
