Disclosed is an coding apparatus, an coding method, an coding method program, and a recording medium recording the coding method program. The present invention is applicable to transmission of motion pictures using satellite broadcasts, cable television, Internet, cellular phones, and the like, and recording of motion pictures on recording media such as optical disks, magnetic optical disks, flash memory, and the like, for example. In this manner, the coding apparatus can be also constructed to function as a decoding apparatus and an image conversion apparatus. An embodiment of the present invention can simplify the overall construction of such coding apparatus. An embodiment of the present invention detects an optimum prediction mode for intra prediction and inter prediction prior to a coding process. The embodiment detects variables IntraSAD, InterSAD, and (X) indicating differential data sizes according to the detected optimum prediction mode. The embodiment determines target code amounts for pictures according to the variables IntraSAD, InterSAD, and (X).
摘要:
The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and a method and a program that enable an amount of code to be suppressed below a desired value with more reliability. An emergency mode determining section 142 determines that the amount of code of a next picture is likely to exceed an upper limit if a target bit calculated by a rate controlling section 118 exceeds a predetermined upper limit. If it is determined that the amount of code of the next picture is likely to exceed the upper limit, the code amount controlling section 142 controls an orthogonal transducing section 114 to replace a transform coefficient of a predetermined frequency component with zero, controls an intra predicting section 125 to restrict intra prediction modes to be applied, and controls a mode determining section 127 to restrict inter prediction modes to be applied. The prevent invention can be applied to an encoding apparatus.

An image pickup device includes an image pickup unit outputting an image pickup result; an analog-to-digital converter analog-to-digital converting the image pickup result and outputting image data; a reduced image generator generating a plurality of reduced images by sequentially and gradually reducing a resolution of an original image based on the image data a number of times equal to a predetermined number of stages; an encoder in which, for a reduced image with the lowest resolution, corresponding image data is encoded and encoded data is output, and for the other reduced images and the original image, differential data with respect to prediction image data based on the reduced image with a resolution lower by one stage is encoded and encoded data is output; and a prediction image data generator generating the prediction image data from the encoded data.

An encoding apparatus and an encoding method, a decoding apparatus and a decoding method, a recording medium, and a program suitable for encoding image signals with a higher compression ratio for transmission or accumulation. In an arithmetic coding section, from among the syntax elements of input image compression information, the frame/field flag is first encoded by a frame/field flag context model. When the macroblock to be processed is subjected to frame-based encoding, a frame-based context model, specified in the current H.26L standard, is applied. On the other hand, when the macroblock to be processed is subjected to field-based encoding, a field-based context model is applied for the syntax elements described below. The present invention is applied to an encoder for encoding image information and a decoder for decoding image information.

An image decoding method is for decoding a bit stream in an image decoding apparatus. The method includes receiving the bit stream and a weight parameter that is added to a luma quantization parameter by an addition operation. The method also includes decoding, in a decoding unit in the image decoding apparatus, the bit stream and generating a chroma component of quantized coefficients. In addition, the method includes performing, in a dequantization unit in the image decoding apparatus, dequantization on the chroma component of quantized coefficients using the chroma quantization parameter calculated on the basis of a luma quantization parameter weighted by the weight parameter.

In an image information encoder (10) supplied with an interlaced image in a 4:2:0 format, a color-difference signal phase correction unit (22) shifts, for motion estimation and compensation, the phase of the color-difference signal in a reference image block adaptively to a selected motion estimate mode and the value mv of vertical component in motion vector information so that the reference image block will coincide in phase of the color-difference signal with an input image block.

The present invention is directed to an image information encoding apparatus, used in receiving compressed image information through network media when processing of such compressed image information is performed on storage media. A picture sorting buffer delivers information of picture type of frame Picture_type to a picture type discrimination unit. The picture type discrimination unit transmits command to a motion prediction/compensation unit on the basis of that information. The motion prediction/compensation unit generates predictive picture by using filter coefficients having the number of taps lesser than that of P picture with respect to B picture for which operation quantity and the number of memory accesses are required to more degree as compared to P picture on the basis of that command.
