Abstract:
A video/image compression method based on an region of interest (ROI) can be performed in a variable block video encoder such as a HEW. A ROI coding method using variable block size coding information partitions a maximum coding unit (LCU) block obtained from an image into coding unit (CU) blocks. To obtain a quantization parameter of each coding unit (CU) block, the value of its quantization parameter is assigned based on its first hierarchical depth information and its second hierarchical depth information by using the first hierarchical depth information related to the size of the coding unit (CU) block and using the second hierarchical depth information related to the size of a prediction unit (PU) block correspondingly represented in consequence of the partition of the coding unit (CU) block. The resulting values of a quantization parameter assigned to different coding unit (CU) blocks may be different.
