IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18281574 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an image processing device and method that can suppress an increase in coding/decoding processing by setting a value based on the bit depth of an image as the maximum number of context-coded bins obtained through variable-length coding on the image. The maximum number of context-coded bins is determined based on a control flag indicating a processing speed mode.
- Variable-length coding is used to determine the maximum number of context-coded bins in an image based on its bit depth.
- The control flag helps adjust the maximum number of context-coded bins according to the processing speed mode.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various devices and methods such as image processing, coding, decoding, transmitting, receiving, information processing, imaging, reproducing, electronic apparatus, and more.
Problems Solved
1. Suppression of an increase in coding/decoding processing. 2. Efficient variable-length coding based on the bit depth of an image.
Benefits
1. Improved processing speed and efficiency. 2. Optimal utilization of resources. 3. Enhanced image quality through context-coded bins.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized image processing technology for devices like cameras, smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of variable-length coding in image processing to optimize coding/decoding processes based on specific image characteristics.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control flag impact the processing speed mode in the image processing device?
The control flag in the image processing device adjusts the maximum number of context-coded bins obtained through variable-length coding based on the selected processing speed mode. However, the specific mechanisms and algorithms used to implement this adjustment are not detailed in the abstract.
What are the specific types of images or scenarios where this technology would be most beneficial?
While the abstract mentions the application of this technology in various devices and methods, it does not specify the types of images or scenarios where the suppression of coding/decoding processing increase would be most significant. Further information on the target use cases could provide a clearer understanding of the practical implications of this innovation.
