IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18656087 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
In prediction, there are three modes for deriving predicted pixels in a target block: using pixels in the image containing the target block, using pixels in a different image, or using both sets of pixels.
- First mode: Deriving predicted pixels using pixels in the same image as the target block.
- Second mode: Deriving predicted pixels using pixels in a different image from the one containing the target block.
- Third mode: Generating predicted pixels using pixels from both the image containing the target block and a different image.
If the third mode is used for at least one of the first and second blocks, the intensity of deblocking filter at the boundary between the blocks is set to the same intensity as when the first mode is used.
- This innovation allows for more accurate prediction of pixels in target blocks by utilizing information from multiple images.
- By combining pixels from different images, the quality of predicted pixels can be improved, leading to better overall image quality.
- The technology optimizes the deblocking filter intensity based on the prediction mode used, enhancing the visual consistency of the image.
Potential Applications: - Image and video processing - Compression algorithms - Computer vision systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing image prediction accuracy - Improving image quality in compression algorithms - Optimizing deblocking filter intensity for boundary consistency

Original Abstract Submitted
In prediction, one of a first mode for deriving, using pixels in an image including a target block, predicted pixels in the target block, a second mode for deriving the predicted pixels in the target block using pixels in an image different from the image including the target block, a third mode for generating the predicted pixels in the target block using both the pixels in the image including the target block and pixels in the different image can be used. If the third mode is used in at least one of the first and second blocks, the intensity of deblocking filter to be performed for the boundary between the first and second blocks is set to the same intensity as in a case in which the first mode is used in at least one of the first and second blocks.
