20130195350 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, an image encoding device according to an embodiment includes an image generating unit, a first filtering unit, a prediction image generating unit, and an encoding unit. The image generating unit is configured to generate a first parallax image corresponding to a first viewpoint of an image to be encoded, with the use of at least one of depth information and parallax information of a second parallax image corresponding to a second viewpoint being different than the first viewpoint. The first filtering unit is configured to perform filtering on the first parallax image based on first filter information. The prediction image generating unit is configured to generate a prediction image with a reference image, the reference image being the first parallax image on which the filtering has been performed. The encoding unit is configured to generate encoded data from the image and the prediction image. | 08-01-2013 |
20140132713 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, an image encoding device includes a setting unit and an obtaining unit. The setting unit sets an corresponding block corresponding to a target block to be encoded in a first parallax image at a first viewpoint on the basis of first depth information of the first parallax image and a positional relationship between the first viewpoint and a second viewpoint of each of one or more second parallax images, sets a shared block in a search area including the target block and area adjacent to the corresponding block, and generates specifying information that indicates a positional relationship between the shared block and the corresponding block. The corresponding block is in the one or more second parallax images. Encoding information of the shared block is shared. The obtaining unit obtains the encoding information on the basis of the specifying information. | 05-15-2014 |
20140147040 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD - According to an embodiment, an image encoding device includes a deciding unit, an assigning unit, and an encoding unit. The deciding unit is configured to determine representative colors for expressing each of pixel blocks into which image data are divided. The assigning unit is configured to assign an index for identifying the representative color to each pixel in the pixel block. The encoding unit is configured to encode indices and the representative colors, the indices and the representative colors in each pixel box being arranged alternately so that two representative colors are discontinuously encoded. | 05-29-2014 |
