Abstract:
An apparatus and method for selecting the use of inter-prediction or intra-prediction during enhanced encoding and decoding of Bayer images. Intra-plane predictions rely on correlation between neighboring pixels of the same color, while inter-plane predictions rely on correlation between neighboring pixels in different color planes (i.e., different colors). A dynamic range decision is made to select whether to use the intra-plane or inter-plane prediction, towards eliminating large residuals which can arise in certain large edge situations.
Abstract:
A video processing system and the method of operation thereof includes: a high dynamic range (HDR) optical sensor having long exposure patterns and short exposure patterns; a prediction unit, coupled to the HDR optical sensor, for generating a prediction from the long exposure patterns and the short exposure patterns; a fixed length coding unit, coupled to the prediction unit, for encoding an enhanced HDR bit stream from the prediction; and a HDR display device for displaying a delivered digital data stream, transformed from the enhanced HDR bit stream.
Abstract:
Provided is an image processing device including a decoding section configured to decode an image from an encoded stream, a horizontal filtering section configured to apply a deblocking filter to a vertical block boundary within an image to be decoded by the decoding section, a vertical filtering section configured to apply a deblocking filter to a horizontal block boundary within an image to be decoded by the decoding section, and a control section configured to cause the horizontal filtering section to filter in parallel a plurality of vertical block boundaries included in a processing unit containing a plurality of coding units and cause the vertical filtering section to filter in parallel a plurality of horizontal block boundaries included in the processing unit.
