摘要:
A method of transmitting blocks of data, in which, for at least one of the blocks of data, at least one parameter associated with this block of data is transmitted, the parameter representing the relative importance of the block of data associated with this parameter within the message transmitted by all the blocks of data. The data is coded by a channel coding method which does not take into account the parameter. Correlatively, the invention also concerns a decoding method associated with this transmission method. This way, data judged to be more important than other data may benefit from a channel decoding of higher quality. The methods described herein have application to devices and appliances implementing these methods.

A method and apparatus are provided for encoding an image sequence. The method includes the following steps, for at least one group of blocks of an image: determining, for each block, at least one parameter characteristic of said block; forming at least one cluster including the blocks having at least one similar characteristic parameter; encoding the blocks of said cluster, the similar characteristic parameter(s) associated with said cluster being encoded only once; encoding the blocks that do not belong to any cluster, the characteristic parameter(s) associated with each of said blocks not being encoded; generating a data stream; and inserting into said stream, at least one piece of information on the partitioning of the group(s), in order to identify the outer block(s) within a group.

A method is provided for encoding an image represented by a sequence of symbols. The method includes the following steps: defining subsequences within the sequence; and going through the subsequences applying the following sub-steps for a routine subsequence: determining an adjacent routine encoded group including two previously encoded subsequences, one of which belongs to an adjacent encoded group associated with a subsequence that is separate from the routine subsequence; initializing a routine probability of occurrence of a symbol, taking into account two known probabilities of occurrence of the symbol, relating to two previously encoded subsequences of the adjacent routine encoded group; the consecutive entropic encoding of the symbols, and updating the routine probability of occurrence; and storing the routine probability of occurrence after encoding the last symbol.

A method and apparatus are provided for coding a sequence of images. The method includes a step of coding at least one block of a current image of the sequence, implementing a prediction associating the block with at least one corresponding block in a reference image. The prediction includes the following steps, for at least one given block of the current image or of the reference image: determination of a plurality of control vectors for the block; at least one splitting of the block into sub-blocks; determination of a plurality of control vectors for the sub-blocks; and determination of a prediction value for at least one point of the current image. Moreover, the method includes a step of inserting, into a signal representative of the sequence, information regarding reconstruction of the control vectors for the given block.

A video image sequence including coefficients of frequency sub-bands with different spatial resolutions is coded. A data stream including at least one restitution level (Niv N−2, Niv N−1, Niv N) is formed. The restitution levels have coefficients of frequency sub-bands whose spatial resolution equals a spatial resolution of the restitution level. There are inserted, in at least one restitution level, coefficients of frequency sub-bands with a spatial resolution higher than the spatial resolution or resolutions of the restitution level.

A method is provided of coding an image or a sequence of images, generating a data stream, each image being split into at least two images blocks, wherein each of which is associated a transformed block comprising a set of coefficients. The coefficients of a transformed block are distributed into group(s) of coefficients according to a predetermined path for reading the transformed blocks. The method includes, for each of the transformed blocks: a step of coding a series of coefficients corresponding to at least one group of coefficients, the series being determined on the basis of a type of series of coefficients that is selected from at least two possible types, and a step of inserting into the data stream a cue representative of the type of series of coefficients that is selected for the image or the sequence of images, or for a portion of the image.
