Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. In video encoding and decoding, multiple partition blocks are generated by splitting a target block. A prediction mode is derived for at least a part of the multiple partition blocks, among the multiple partition blocks, and prediction is performed on the multiple partition blocks based on the derived prediction mode. When prediction is performed on the partition blocks, information related to the target block may be used, and information related to an additional partition block, which is predicted prior to the partition block, may be used.

Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus, and more particularly, a method and apparatus for performing filtering in video encoding and decoding. An encoding apparatus may perform filtering on a target, and may generate filtering information indicating whether filtering has been performed on the target. Further, the encoding apparatus may generate a bitstream including filtering information. A decoding apparatus may determine, based on filtering information, whether to perform filtering on a target, and may perform filtering on the target. The decoding apparatus may receive filtering information from the encoding apparatus through a bitstream or may derive filtering information using additional information.

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for image compression based on machine learning using a global context. The disclosed image compression network employs an existing image quality enhancement network for an end-to-end joint learning scheme. The image compression network may jointly optimize image compression enhancement and quality enhancement. The image compression networks and image quality enhancement networks may be easily combined within a unified architecture which minimizes total loss, and may be easily jointly optimized.

Disclosed is a radio-frequency-over-fiber (RFoF) transmission method using a directly modulated laser (DML). The RFoF transmission method to be performed by a head end includes combining a radio frequency (RF) carrier signal and a data signal having a lower frequency band than the RF carrier signal through an RF coupler, modulating the combined RF carrier signal and the combined data signal using a frequency response characteristic of a DML, and outputting an optical signal in which, of RF carrier signals and data signals being generated in a laterally symmetrical form based on an optical carrier frequency through the modulating, an RF carrier signal is suppressed.

Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. In quantization and dequantization, multiple quantization methods and multiple dequantization methods may be used. The multiple quantization methods include a variable-rate step quantization method and a fixed-rate step quantization method. The variable-rate step quantization method may be a quantization method in which an increment in a quantization step depending on an increase in a value of a quantization parameter by 1 is not fixed. The fixed-rate step quantization method may be a quantization method in which the increment in the quantization step depending on the increase of the value of the quantization parameter by 1 is fixed.

A host unit is provided between a remote radio head and a radio unit. The host unit performs a conversion between a digital optical signal used by the remote radio head and an analog optical signal used by the radio unit. A frequency of the analog optical signal converted by the host unit may be an intermediate frequency. The radio unit performs a conversion between an analog optical signal used by the host unit and an analog radio signal used by a user terminal. A frequency of the analog radio signal may be included in a millimeter wave band or radio frequency band.
