20130121408 | VIDEO IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE AND VIDEO IMAGE DECODING DEVICE - When injecting pseudo random noise to an area centered on a block boundary, a video encoding device and a video decoding device prevent injection of pseudo random noise to an area including a reference image for subsequent planar mode filtering, in order to suppress linear artifacts. The video encoding device includes: an inverse quantization unit for inverse-quantizing a quantization index to obtain a quantization representative value; an inverse frequency transform unit for inverse-transforming the quantization representative value obtained by the inverse quantization unit, to obtain a reconstructed image block; and an adaptive distortion removal filter unit for injecting pseudo random noise to an area centered on a boundary of the reconstructed image block, wherein the adaptive distortion removal filter unit does not inject pseudo random noise to an area including a reference image for planar mode filtering. | 05-16-2013 |
20130136177 | VIDEO DECODING APPARATUS, VIDEO CODING APPARATUS, VIDEO DECODING METHOD, VIDEO CODING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - In the present invention, reconstructed images for prediction are stored in uncompressed reference picture memory and compressed reference picture memory. A video decoder stores in uncompressed reference picture memory a reconstructed image of a frame to be decoded which has been generated on the basis of a prediction, and among reconstructed images which have been stored in the uncompressed reference picture memory, compresses a reconstructed image that will not be used for prediction of the frame to be decoded and stores the image in the compressed reference picture memory. Using the reconstructed images which are stored in the uncompressed reference picture memory and the compressed reference picture memory, the video bitstream is decoded into a video. | 05-30-2013 |
