摘要:
The invention relates to image block encoding and decoding. More precisely, the invention relates to block prediction using reference blocks of the image. It is proposed a method which comprises using processing means for using at least the block for determining one reference block in an already encoded part of the image, encoding and reconstructing a part of the image, using at least the block for determining one reference block in the reconstructed part and a indicator referencing the one reference block, using the one reference block for determining at least one further reference block in the reconstructed part and encoding the determined indicator and a residual of the block with respect to a combination of the one and the at least one further reference block. Using the block for determination of the one reference block allows for selecting it such that it resembles the block and correlation with the block is maintained.

A method for encoding and decoding an image block, an encoder, and a decoder are provided. The method for encoding an image block comprises: determining a local dynamic range of the block; adaptively precision-extending pixel values of the block based on the local dynamic range of the block; and encoding the block with an adaptively extended precision. The method for decoding an image block comprises: determining a minimum pixel value of the block and an indicating value for indicating a precision extension factor according to precision extension information; decoding the block according to the indicating value; and de-extending precision of the decoded block based on the minimum pixel value of the block and the precision extension factor. The precision of the intermediate calculations may be improved without increasing an original intermediate bit depth used in intermediate calculations.

The present invention concerns a method and apparatus for building an estimate ( Ŷ ) of an original image (Y) from a low-quality version ( Y l ) of the original image and an epitome ( E h ) calculated from an image. The method is characterized in that it comprises: - obtaining (11) a dictionary comprising at least one pair of patches, each pair of patches comprising a patch of the epitome, called a first patch, and a patch of the low-quality version of the original image, called a second patch, a pair of patches being extracted for each patch of the epitome by inplace matching patches from the epitome and those from the low-quality image, - for each patch of the low-quality version of the original image, selecting (12) at least one pair of patches within the dictionary of pairs of patches, each pair of patches being selected according to a criterion involving the patch of the low-quality version of the original image and the second patch of said selected pair of patches, - obtaining (13) a mapping function from said at least one selected pair of patches, and - projecting (14) the patch of the low-quality version of the original image into a final patch ( X̃ h ) using the mapping function.

The method comprises at least one iteration of: - determining (120) for each of at least two patches the number of blocks of said image reconstructed by an extended epitome formed by a current epitome and the patch, wherein a block is reconstructed by the extended epitome when a distance between the block and a weighted linear combination of patches of the extended epitome is below a threshold value; - adding (122) to the current epitome the patch, among the at least two patches, that reconstructs the highest number of blocks.
