Abstract:
High efficiency video coding (HEVC) enhancements are described for intrablock copying for reducing motion vector (MV) coding redundancy and enhancing in range extensions (RExt) by selecting a default block my predictor. In reducing MV data redundancy, the value of MVx and/or MVy can have a baseline at the width (W), or height (H) of the respective block, whereby fewer bits need to be encoded. One embodiment for enhancing RExt provides an improved selection of a default block vector predictor for the first CU performing intra-block copying in a CTU.
Abstract:
A video coding system, and a method of operation thereof, includes: a source input module for receiving a frame from a video source; and a picture process module, coupled to the source input module, for generating a reference coding unit in the frame; for generating an intra copy motion vector pointing to the reference coding unit within a search range, wherein the search range does not include an upper coding tree unit of the frame; for generating a current coding unit based on the intra copy motion vector; and for generating a video bitstream based on the current coding unit for a video decoder to receive and decode for displaying on a device.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and a method that enable efficient change of reference relationship of views in multi-view coding. In the present technology, as for inter-view reference images, a used_by_curr flag is also set to an image having a possibility of being referred, in a slice header or syntax of an SPS. Only an image with the used_by_curr flag of 1 is added to a temporal list used in generating a reference list. Therefore, the temporal list (RefPicListTemp0[rldx]) of L0 is generated in an order of a short-term (before) reference image of an index 0, a short-term (after) reference image of an index 1, and inter-view reference images of indexes 2 and 3. The present disclosure can be applied to an image processing apparatus, for example.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image processing device and method that enable generation of a highly precise prediction image using a small amount of control information. The present invention provides an electronic device including circuitry configured to filter a motion-compensated image based on an identification flag configured to indicate that a prediction image is to be generated through a filtering process and generate the prediction image by the filtering process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to image processing device and method which can suppress block noise. A filter strength determination unit determines the filter strength for every four lines under the control of a control unit. In other words, if a block boundary determination unit has determined to perform filtering, the filter strength determination unit determines at which strength of the strong filter or the weak filter the filtering process is performed, and outputs the determination result to a filter calculation unit. On this occasion, the filter strength determination unit uses the Bs value in the determination formula of the strong filter. For example, in the case of using the Bs value, the threshold of the determination is set in accordance with a linear function of the Bs value from the control unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing device.
Abstract:
The present technology relates to a decoding device and a decoding method, and an encoding device and an encoding method that enable images that configure a packed image to be reliably displayed when an encoded stream is decoded and displayed. A decoding unit decodes an encoded data, the encoded data being an encoded packed image in which a plurality of images is packed, and generates the packed image. A display control unit identifies the images that configure the packed image based on packing SEI preferentially used when the packed image is displayed. The present technology can be applied to a decoding device, for example.
Abstract:
The present technique relates to a decoding device and a decoding method, and an encoding device and an encoding method, capable of performing encoding and decoding independently in the time direction for each tile. A decoding unit generates a prediction image by performing, for each of tiles, motion compensation of a reference image within a co-located tile based on tile splittable information indicating that decoding is allowed for each of the tiles and motion vector information representing a motion vector used for generating encoded data of a decoding target current image when a picture of the current image is split into the tiles and decoded. The decoding unit decodes the encoded data using the prediction image. The present technique is applicable to a decoding device, for example.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that are capable of improving coding efficiency at the time when a prediction using a correlation within a screen is performed. A predicted vector generation section sets, at a time of encoding of a current motion vector of a current block for a prediction using a correlation within a screen, a candidate block to not available and generates a predicted vector of the current motion vector by using a reference motion vector, the reference motion vector being referred to when the predicted vector of the current motion vector is generated. A difference vector generation section generates a difference vector between the current motion vector and the predicted vector generated by the predicted vector generation section. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an encoding apparatus.
