Title:
PREDICTION VECTOR GENERATION METHOD, PREDICTION VECTOR GENERATION DEVICE, PREDICTION VECTOR GENERATION PROGRAM, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE ENCODING PROGRAM, IMAGE DECODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, AND IMAGE DECODING PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/153440
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A motion vector indicating the amount of movement from past texture images is predicted and a texture image is encoded, for each block being part of an area configuring a texture image comprising brightness values for each pixel, and a prediction vector generation unit generates a prediction vector on the basis of: a motion vector for one block among the blocks; a motion vector for an adjacent block adjacent to the one block; a block for a depth map being a region corresponding to the one block, among depth maps comprising depth values indicating the distance from each pixel viewpoint; and a block for a reference depth map being a region corresponding to the one block, among reference depth maps being depth maps corresponding to the one block and encoded or decoded in the past. As a result, a prediction vector generation method, an image encoding method, and an image decoding method, etc., that achieve excellent coding efficiency are provided.
