IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18680938 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for dividing an image into rectangular regions and slices for processing in raster order.
- The image is divided into rectangular regions containing block rows.
- Rectangular slices are specified based on information for processing the first and last regions.
- The number of blocks in each region determines the start position of coded data in the slice.
- A bitstream is generated with multiplexed information, including the coded data.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Division of image into rectangular regions and slices for processing.
- Specification of start position of coded data based on block rows.
- Generation of bitstream with multiplexed information for processing.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in image processing, video compression, and data transmission applications.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient processing of images in raster order.
- Simplified division of images into regions for coding.
Benefits:
- Improved image processing efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted
An image is divided into rectangular regions each including at least one block row, and the image is divided into rectangular slices or slices to be processed in raster order. In a case where the image is divided into the rectangular slices, based on first information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed first and second information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed last, the rectangular regions in the rectangular slice is specified. Based on the number of blocks in a vertical direction in each of the specified rectangular regions, the number of pieces of information for specifying a start position of coded data of the block row in the rectangular slice is specified. A bitstream in which at least the pieces of information, the first and second information, and the coded data are multiplexed is generated.
