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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523855 titled 'IMAGE DATA ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for decoding an image using a recursive division structure for coding blocks.

  • The method involves receiving a bitstream obtained by encoding the image, dividing a first coding block into multiple second coding blocks, generating a prediction block for a second coding block based on syntax information from the bitstream, and reconstructing the second coding block 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 is divided based on quad tree, binary tree, or triple tree division methods.

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.
