Abstract:
An apparatus and method for encoding an image by skipping discrete cosine transform (DCT), and an apparatus and method for decoding an image by skipping the DCT. An image encoding apparatus may classify residual data into groups, and may encode the residual data using a representative value of each of the groups and group identification information that is used to identify the groups.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for generating a hologram pattern with a reduced amount of computation. The apparatus may include a reference depth layer setting unit configured or having a capacity to set a reference depth layer using data associated with a three-dimensional (3D) object, a first hologram pattern generating unit configured to generate a first hologram pattern corresponding to the 3D object in the reference depth layer, and a second hologram pattern generating unit configured to generate a second hologram pattern in a hologram plane using the first hologram pattern.
Abstract:
Provided are an image transmission device and method, and an image reproduction device and method. The image transmission device and the image reproduction device may provide a multi-view three-dimensional (3D) image to a user by processing a color image and a depth image using information about an image mode of the 3D image format, additional information based on the color image corresponding to a satellite view, or additional information based on the depth image.
Abstract:
A display apparatus and method that reduces block noise by performing block noise boundary detections and generating a block noise boundary map on the basis of a result of the detections to cope with local random block noise having irregular shaped and blurred block boundaries to perform adaptive deblocking filtering. The apparatus includes: an image receiver; a map generator to generate a block boundary map by performing convolution using a plurality of kernels on a received image; a determiner to determine a filter parameter on the basis of the block boundary map and a block boundary period included in the block boundary map; a deblocking filter to vary a filter strength on the basis of the determined filter parameter; and a display on which an image in which block noise is removed by the deblocking filter is displayed.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes: a display; a receiver configured to receive data of main content from a content provider; and a processor configured to control the receiver to receive image data and reference information about whether sub content is involved along with main content in the image data, control the display to display an image of the main content and the sub content selectively involved in the main content based on the image data received in the receiver, and make the image be displayed by one image process selected corresponding to whether the sub content is involved in the image based on the reference information among a plurality of image processes.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a 3D video motion estimating apparatus and method. The 3D video motion estimating apparatus may enable a motion vector of a color image and a motion vector of a depth image refer to each other, thereby increasing a compression rate.
Abstract:
Region-based encoding apparatus and decoding apparatus. The encoding apparatus selects an optimum region division mode from region division modes with respect to regions divided from an image frame, and transmits, to the decoding apparatus, an optimum image filtering method and an optimum filter coefficient of regions divided, according to the optimum region division mode.
Abstract:
Provided is method and apparatus of compressing and restoring an image using filter information. The image compression apparatus may generate a reduced image by sampling an input image, determine filter information based on the input image and a decoded reduced image, and code the filter information and the decoded reduced image. Accordingly, a deterioration in an image quality may be prevented in transmitting the image using a limited bandwidth.
