IMAGE DATA ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523853 titled 'IMAGE DATA ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for decoding an image by dividing coding blocks, generating prediction blocks, and reconstructing the image based on syntax information obtained from a bitstream.

  • The method involves receiving a bitstream obtained by encoding the image.
  • The first coding block is divided into multiple second coding blocks.
  • A prediction block of a second coding block is generated based on syntax information from the bitstream.
  • The second coding block is reconstructed using the prediction block and a residual block obtained through dequantization and inverse-transform of quantized transform coefficients from the bitstream.
  • The first coding block has a recursive division structure and can be divided based on quad tree, binary tree, or triple tree division.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in video compression, image processing, and multimedia communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for decoding an image. A method includes receiving a bitstream obtained by encoding the image; dividing a first coding block into a plurality of second coding blocks; generating a prediction block of a second coding block based on syntax information obtained from the bitstream; and reconstructing the second coding block based on the prediction block and a residual block of the second coding block, the residual block being obtained by performing a dequantization and an inverse-transform on quantized transform coefficients from the bitstream. The first coding block has a recursive division structure. The first coding block is divided based on at least one of a quad tree division, a binary tree division or a triple tree division.
