摘要:
In one embodiment, an image encoding apparatus converts bit depth of an input image formed of a plurality of pixels each having an N bit depth into an (N+M) bit depth larger than N bit depth by M bits. An adaptive bit depth converter converts the bit depth of each pixel of the decoded image of the (N+M) bits into the N bits selectively using one of a plurality of conversion systems. The converted image of the N bit depth is stored in a frame memory as a reference image. The bit depth of each pixel of the reference image of the N bit depth read out from the frame memory is converted into the (N+M) bit depth larger than the N bit depth by M bits in accordance with the conversion system by a pixel bit depth inverse converter.

According to one embodiment, a moving image/picture encoding apparatus of an embodiment comprises an encoded information acquisition module, an encoding complexity calculation module, an encoding complexity conversion module, and a transcode module. The encoded information acquisition module reads MPEG header information from the input stream to acquire information on a quantization scale, generated bits and a picture type for each frame. The encoding complexity calculation module uses the acquired information to calculate, for each of the frames, encoding complexity represented in a form of the product of the quantization scale and the generated bits. The encoding complexity conversion module uses a linear function prepared for each of the picture types to convert the calculated encoding complexity into encoding complexity of H. 264/AVC. The transcode module uses the converted encoding complexity of H. 264/AVC to transcode the input stream into the output stream.

摘要:
A decoding section generates a decoded image and a coding parameter set from a first video coded video sequence. A coding parameter set conversion section first sets the coding structure for a pair of upper and lower macro blocks based on the coding structures of the corresponding macro blocks and converts the remaining parameters such as a motion vector based on the coding structure. A coding parameter set generation section generates coding parameters of an intraframe coding parameter, etc., a coding parameter set selection section selects an optimum parameter set, and a coding section performs recoding processing.
