摘要:
An encoded bit stream is processed by a lossless decoding unit (52), an inverse quantization unit (53), and an inverse orthogonal transform unit (54) in this order, to obtain orthogonally transformed coefficient data and encoding parameter information. The inverse orthogonal transform unit (54) performs an inverse orthogonal transform on the coefficient data by using bases that are set beforehand in accordance with the locations of transform blocks in a macroblock indicated by the encoding parameter information. In this manner, prediction error data is obtained. An intra prediction unit (62) generates predicted image data. An addition unit (55) adds the predicted image data to the prediction error data, to decode image data. By using bases that are set in accordance with the locations of transform blocks, an optimum inverse orthogonal transform can be performed, and encoding efficiency can be increased.

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method and a program which can reduce the bit amount included in a stream and a used region of a memory. In an image encoding apparatus 51, when an object slice is a B slice, the tap number of a variable interpolation filter (AIF) is determined, for example, as four taps. Therefore, even in the case where bidirectional prediction of a 4×4 size is carried out, only it is necessary to read in, in addition to pixels of 4×4 blank squares obtained after the interpolation process, pixels of squares to which slanting lines are applied, that is, 98=2×49 pixels from the forward direction and the succeeding direction from a frame memory. In other words, in comparison with a conventional case, 32 pixels indicated by dark squares are not required for the interpolation process any more. The present invention can be applied, for example, to an image encoding apparatus for encoding, for example, on the basis of the H.264/AVC method.

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method, and a program capable of suppressing loss of high-frequency components and achieving a clear sense of the picture quality. A selector 95 selects one of filter coefficients from among a filter coefficient A1 which is used in all inter prediction modes where L0L1 weighted prediction is not used and is stored in an A1 filter coefficient memory 91, a filter coefficient A2 which is used in a bi-prediction mode where the L0L1 weighted prediction is used and is stored in an A2 filter coefficient memory 92, a filter coefficient A3 which is used in a direct mode where the L0L1 weighted prediction is used and is stored in an A3 filter coefficient memory 93, and a filter coefficient A4 which is used in a skip mode where the L0L1 weighted prediction is used and is stored in an A4 filter coefficient memory 94, and outputs the selected filter coefficients to a fixed interpolation filter. The present invention can be applied, for example, to an image encoding apparatus which carries out encoding based on the H.264/AVC method.

The optical disc apparatus according to the present invention includes a tilt detecting means; a coma aberration correcting means; and a spherical aberration correcting means. Based on the result of a tilt detection, the amount of the correction performed by the coma aberration correcting means is determined so that the amount of correction is constant for the whole circumference of an optical disc, and then a spherical aberration is corrected by the spherical aberration correcting means. Thus, it is possible to correct the spherical aberration that has occurred due to the coma aberration correcting means, while the tilt margin is secured, thereby improving the reliability of reproduction and recording by the optical disc apparatus. Further, the optical disc apparatus according to the present invention is configured, in the case where a thermal shock tilt has occurred during the activation of the apparatus, to wait until the thermal shock tilt has settled. Thus, it is possible to perform the activation while the influence of the thermal shock tilt is avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the recording and reproduction operations by the optical disc apparatus.

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program capable of increasing the quality of an inter predicted image.A computing unit 115 performs decoding by adding a transform coefficient transmitted from an inverse orthogonal transform unit 114 after inverse orthogonal transform is performed to an inter predicted image supplied from a switch 214. A motion prediction/compensation unit 212 performs motion compensation on the decoded image on the basis of blur information that corresponds to a compressed image and that is transmitted from an image encoding apparatus. A blur prediction/compensation unit 213 performs blur compensation on the motion-compensated image and supplies the resultant motion compensated and blur compensated image to the switch 214 as the inter predicted image. The present invention is applicable to an image decoding apparatus that performs decoding using, for example, the H.264/AVC standard.

A polarized image acquisition section shoots a subject through a polarizing element operable to set principal axes of which directions are different from each other. An incident plane specifying section specifies an incident plane of each pixel, and an incident angle computation section computes an incident angle of each pixel. A classifying section clusters pixels similar to each other in both incident plane and incident angle. A reflection component separation section performs reflection component separation on each clustered pixel set on the assumption of probabilistic independence between the diffuse reflection component and the specular reflection component.

A plurality of parameters included in a predetermined illumination equation which defines a brightness are acquired for each pixel of an image. For each of the parameters, a homogeneous region including pixels which are similar in value of the parameter is specified. In each of the specified homogeneous region, each of the parameters is converted according to details of the predetermined image conversion. The brightness of each pixel of a second image is determined using the values of the parameters obtained after the conversion.

The device control unit provides, in the case in which all tasks included in the task group are complete, a notification that the task group is complete to the calculation control unit.
