Abstract:
Disclosed are an image-encoding apparatus and an image-decoding apparatus for efficiently transmitting a large capacity image. The image encoding apparatus separates an input image into pixel units to generate real images of a first region and of a second region, performs a predictive filtering process on the real image of the first region to generate a predictive image of the second region, and differentiates the predictive image of the second region from the real image of the second region to thereby efficiently reduce the volume of data prior to encoding the input image.
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.

A multi-view image coding apparatus and method are provided. The multi-view image coding apparatus may extract geometric information from a plurality of cameras, may construct a spatial prediction structure to enable a correlation of each view to be maximum using the geometric information, and thereby may code and transmit a multi-view image.
Abstract:
A quantizer employs a scaled integral inverse ratio division for quantization of an input T by a quantization step Q. The quantizer forms an integral approximation q of 2r/Q by either trunc(2r/Q) or round(2r/Q). A multiplier multiplies the absolute value of T by the q. An adjustment factor is added alternatively to the absolute value of T prior to multiplication or to the product after multiplication. This adjustment factor minimizes errors near transition points in the quantization. This invention is applicable to both trunc(T/Q) and round(T/Q).

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for encoding an image, and a method and apparatus for decoding an image are provided. In the image encoding method, an input image may be encoded hierarchically based on a unified image compression format, irrespective of whether the input image corresponds to a two-dimensional (2D) image, a stereo image, or a three-dimensional (3D) image. An encoded bit stream generated through the encoding may be transmitted to the image decoding apparatus.
