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 18655997 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 same image as the target block, using pixels in a different image, or a combination of both.
- First mode: Deriving predicted pixels in the target block using pixels in the same image as the target block.
- Second mode: Deriving predicted pixels in the target block using pixels in a different image from the one including the target block.
- Third mode: Generating predicted pixels in the target block using pixels from both the image including 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 a target block by utilizing information from both the same image and a different image.
- By combining information from multiple sources, the quality of predicted pixels can be improved, leading to better image processing results.
- The technology optimizes the deblocking filter intensity at block boundaries based on the mode used for prediction, ensuring consistent image quality throughout.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various image processing applications such as video compression, image enhancement, and object recognition systems.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of accurately predicting pixels in a target block by leveraging information from multiple sources, leading to improved image processing results.
Benefits: Improved accuracy in predicting pixels in a target block Enhanced image processing quality Consistent image quality across block boundaries
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized in video encoding systems, surveillance cameras, medical imaging devices, and other image processing applications to enhance image quality and processing efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of multiple modes for pixel prediction improve image processing results? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?
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.
