Abstract:
An apparatus for coding an image is provided to effectively code the image. The apparatus for coding the image includes an input image segmentation unit to segment an input image into a plurality of image blocks including a first image block and a second image block. The apparatus also includes a waveform information generation unit to select a plurality of reference pixels from among pixels included in the first image block, generate first waveform information about the first image block based on a pixel value difference between the selected plurality of reference pixels, and generate second waveform information about the second image block based on a pixel value difference between the pixels included in the second image block. The apparatus also includes a coding unit to code an image included in the second image block based on the first waveform information and the second waveform information.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for synthesizing virtual viewpoint image. The apparatus for synthesizing virtual viewpoint images includes one or more processors, and an execution memory for storing at least one program that is executed by the one or more processors, wherein the at least one program is configured to receive multiple viewpoint images from cameras that capture images of multiple viewpoints, and back-project the multiple viewpoint images onto a world coordinate system in a three-dimensional (3D) space, generate warped images by performing triangular warping of projecting the multiple viewpoint images, back-projected onto the world coordinate system, onto a virtual viewpoint image coordinate system, and generate a finally synthesized virtual viewpoint image by blending the warped images.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method, an apparatus and a storage medium for image encoding/decoding using a segmentation map. A feature vector for an image may be extracted using a segmentation map. The image may be encoded using the segmentation map and the feature vector. An output stream from an encoding apparatus may include a video stream and a feature stream. An input stream to a decoding apparatus may include a video stream and a feature stream. The image may be reconstructed using a reconstructed segmentation map and a reconstructed feature vector.
