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 18656018 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING APPARATUS, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for predicting pixels in a target block using pixels from different images. The method includes three modes of prediction: using pixels from the image containing the target block, using pixels from a different image, and combining pixels from both images for prediction. If the third mode is used, the intensity of deblocking filter at the boundary between the blocks is set to the same intensity as when the first mode is used.

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.
