  • Publication number: 20180131949
    Abstract: An encoding method and an encoder are provided. The encoding method includes receiving a first coding unit of a frame, and selecting a first index pixel and a second index pixel from pixels of the frame and setting index values corresponding to the two index pixels, where a color of the first index pixel is different to a color of the second index pixel. The encoding method includes indexing each pixel in the first coding unit to generate an index map. The encoding method includes generating a coding value corresponding to the first coding unit according to the index map, and transmitting the coding value to a decoder, wherein only an index value corresponding to a 1st scanned pixel in the pixels of the first coding unit in the index map is recorded in the coding value.

  • Patent number: 9462251
    Abstract: A depth map aligning method and a system are provided. The depth map aligning method includes the following steps. A view warping is performed to a left-view image and a right-view image of a real-view image according to a corresponding depth map to obtain a right-virtual view image, a left hole information, and a right hole information thereof. A residual difference of pixel, which is not a hole, is obtained by pixel to pixel. If the residual difference of the pixel is larger than a first threshold value, a reverse warping is performed to obtain a coordinate of the pixel. The depth value of the pixel is aligned according to the depth value of one or more pixels in a vicinity of the obtained coordinate.
