  • Publication number: 20230103543
    Abstract: An image decoding device according to the present invention including a decoding unit configured to decode first syntax that controls transmission precision of a merge with motion vector difference in a sequence of a decoding target, wherein the value of the first syntax being “1” specifies that both fractional precision and integer precision could be used as the transmission precision of the merge with motion vector difference in the sequence of the decoding target, and the value of the first syntax being “0” specifies that the first syntax uses fractional precision as the transmission precision of a merge with motion vector difference in the sequence of the decoding target.

  • Patent number: 11463684
    Abstract: A decoding-side first generation unit generating, for a target unit, a first component prediction sample. A decoding-side linear prediction unit using the first component sample and a prediction coefficient to generate a linear prediction sample of a second component. A decoding-side second generation unit using the second component linear prediction sample to generate, for the target unit, a second component prediction sample. The decoding-side linear prediction unit uses a first coefficient as the prediction coefficient when the first component sample is equal to or below a threshold value, and uses a second coefficient, different from the first, as the prediction coefficient when the first component sample is greater than the threshold value. The threshold value is set on a parameter representing a distribution or change in a reference sample of the first component and/or the second component contained in a reference unit referenced for the target unit.

  • Publication number: 20210185354
    Abstract: An image decoding device includes: a motion compensation predictor configured to generate a prediction image signal of a prediction target block based on information about a motion vector in a unit of the block and a reference frame; an overlapped block motion compensator carrying out an overlapped block motion compensation process of correcting the prediction image signal of the prediction target block by subjecting the prediction image signal of the prediction target block and a prediction image signal generated based on information about a motion vector and a reference frame of an adjacent block of the prediction target block to weighted averaging; and a determinater determining whether the overlapped block motion compensation process is applied to the prediction target block or not. The determinater determines application of the overlapped block motion compensation process to the prediction target block, when unidirectional prediction is applied to the adjacent block.
