A method and apparatus for transmitting a multimedia data packet are provided. The method includes receiving Bottom-up Network Abstraction Layer (B-NAL) information from a network entity, generating Top-down Network Abstraction Layer (T-NAL) information on the multimedia data to be transmitted, generating a multimedia data packet containing said T-NAL information, and transmitting the multimedia data packet generated in the previous process, to the network entity, in consideration of said B-NAL information.

A water ring decoding apparatus configured to process a data string into a restored data set, such as a video image frame, is disclosed. The restored data set is organized with at least one restored origin enveloped by a plurality of nested restored environs successively surrounding each other in the restored data set. The decoder is configured to write the data string into the restored data set by starting at the RC group corresponding to the restored origin (restored water ring (0)) and by sequentially progressing outwardly from the family of RC groups corresponding to the nearest nested restored environ (restored water ring (1)) towards the family of RC groups corresponding to a furthest nested restored environ (restored water ring (n)).

A method of and apparatus for setting a virtual image region is provided in order to efficiently perform motion estimation and compensation of a panorama image including 360-degree omni-direction image information. The method includes the steps of searching a previous panorama image for reference data corresponding to all or part of a virtual image region of a current patch desired to be motion-estimated in order to determine the presence of the reference data, and selectively mapping the reference data to all or part of the virtual image region. By doing so, the panorama image containing omni-directional image information is coded by using a 2-dimensional moving picture coding method without change, while the coding efficiency in the process of motion estimation and compensation can be greatly improved.

A method of and apparatus for efficient encoding and decoding by reconstructing an icosahedron panorama image are provided. The method includes: dividing patches forming a top part and a bottom part, respectively, in development figure of an icosahedron panorama image, from patches forming a middle part; reconstructing the divided patches on a 2-dimensional plane so that patches having a high correlation are placed adjacent to each other; and encoding the reconstructed patches.

Provided are intelligent water ring scan apparatus and method thereof, image encoding/decoding apparatus using the water ring scanning and method thereof, and a computer-readable recording medium for recording a program that implements the methods. The apparatus or method of this research selectively improves the image quality of a particular image part that needs to be encoded with priority by transmitting the image data of the particular image part suitably for a human visual system so as to provide a visually improved image. The encoding apparatus of this research differentiates the amount of image data depending on the significance of a certain image part to process the image in various qualities suitably for the human visual system. The methods of this research can be applied to an image encoding/decoding process.
摘要:
An improved grid moving method using a selective pixel search method and an apparatus using the grid moving method which are capable of forming a grid with respect to an image of an object having a shape information and/or an image information, defining a unit region, moving the thusly formed grid, re-constructing an image grid, so that it is possible to reduce the number of blocks which are occupied by an object to be coded, thus significantly reducing the amount of computation and increasing a computation speed. The method includes the steps of forming a grid with respect to an image of an object having a predetermined shape, defining blocks each having a predetermined size, and moving the grid; a search and count step for selectively searching a pixel without searching all pixels, terminating the search when a pixel of the object is first searched, performing a step for determining the block in which an object exists as an object block with respect to the entire blocks, and counting the number of blocks in which the object exists; and determining a new grid start point having a minimum number of blocks in accordance with a result of the counting.

A water ring scanning apparatus and method, and an apparatus and method for encoding/decoding video sequences using the same are disclosed. A water ring scanning apparatus includes: a preferential scan unit for scanning information on a water ring origin point (water_ring(0)) in an image frame, which is a most significant bit of the image frame to be preferentially scanned; a scan location decision unit for deciding a location of i_th generated water ring (water_ring(i)), which is a rectangular-shape ring surrounding the water ring origin point; and a scan unit for scanning information on the location of the i_th generated water ring.
