Encoding efficiency is enhanced by actively combining a plurality of encoding methods. A picture element memory receives and stores picture elements within a predetermined range. A mode determinator selects an encoding mode based upon a reference picture element. A first encoding section and a second encoding section predicts the value of the encoded picture element, determines whether the prediction is correct, and then encodes the value of the encoding picture element based on the determination result and outputs a codeword for the encoding picture element. An encoding controller selectively operates the first encoding section and the second encoding section based upon one of the specific encoding modes and the other encoding mode other than the specific encoding mode selected by the mode determinator.
摘要:
By combining a plurality of encoding methods actively, an encoding efficiency is enhanced. The first encoder encodes a result of determination whether a prediction error is zero or not. The second encoder encodes the prediction error unless the prediction error is zero. The third encoder encodes the prediction error regardless of whether the prediction error is zero or not. The mode determinator determines the encoding mode, and the encoding controller selectively operates the first encoder, the second encoder, and the third encoder according to the encoding mode determined.

An encoding/decoding method for predicting appearance probability of an information source symbol, while learning, and for dividing a valid section on a numerical straight line into both a first partial section to which an approximate value of the above-mentioned prediction appearance probability is applied and a second partial section remained in the valid section, to which such an arithmetic code is applied, the arithmetic code setting a partial section corresponding to an appearing symbol as a new valid section, is operated by storing thereinto such a fact that the prediction appearance probability is a specific value; by judging that the prediction appearance probability is equal to the specific value by referring to the relevant specific value; and by correcting an allocation between the first partial section and the second partial section when the judgement operation judges that the prediction appearance probability is equal to the specific value.
摘要:
In an adaptive probability estimation method, an index referring to coding parameters is determined according to occurrence probabilities of symbols from estimated occurrence counts of symbols, thresholds for probability values that determine the probability intervals corresponding to the indexes are set to values that are examined with small operational load, and an index referring to the corresponding occurrence probability is selected without division, using the probability intervals determined by the thresholds for probability values.
摘要:
An image memory outputs a target encoding pixel and a plurality of reference pixels in the vicinity thereof. A boundary mode determining unit determines a maximum value and a minimum value of the reference pixels, determines an average value of the maximum value and the minimum value, compares the respective reference pixel values with the average value, detects a boundary in the target encoding pixel and the reference pixels based on comparison results, and detects a pixel distribution state of the reference pixels based on the detected boundary. An adaptive predictor calculates a prediction value by performing a calculation based on a function corresponding to the pixel distribution state and the reference pixels. A prediction difference calculating unit determines a difference value between the prediction value and a value of the target encoding pixel. A prediction coincidence determining unit compares the prediction value and the target encoding pixel value, and outputs a comparison result as a binary signal. A context generator generates a context based on the pixel distribution state and the difference value of the prediction difference calculating unit. An arithmetic encoder encodes the binary signal based on the context thus generated.
