ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515891 titled 'ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an encoding device that generates a common index by sorting reference indices of multiple reference images in a specific order to avoid including the same reference image. The device then encodes this common index.

  • The index setting unit generates a common index by sorting reference indices of multiple reference images in a specific order.
  • The encoding unit encodes the common index.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in image or video encoding systems where efficient referencing of multiple images is required.

Problems Solved

1. Avoiding duplication of reference images in a common index. 2. Efficient sorting and encoding of reference indices for improved data processing.

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency in referencing multiple images. 2. Enhanced encoding capabilities for better data compression.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized image or video encoding systems for industries such as multimedia, surveillance, and broadcasting.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to image or video encoding systems that optimize the referencing of multiple images to improve data compression and processing efficiency.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing image or video encoding methods in terms of compression efficiency?

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing methods in terms of compression efficiency. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the effectiveness of this technology in comparison to others.

What impact could this technology have on the speed of data processing in real-time applications?

The article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the speed of data processing in real-time applications. Additional testing or analysis may be required to evaluate its performance in real-time scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an embodiment, an encoding device includes an index setting unit and an encoding unit. The index setting unit generates a common index in which reference indices of one or more reference images included in a first index and a second index are sorted in a combination so as not to include a same reference image in accordance with a predetermined scanning order. The first index representing a combination of the one or more reference images referred to by a first reference image. The second index representing a combination of the one or more reference images referred to by a second reference image. The encoding unit encodes the common index.
