Abstract: A method for composing an intermediate representation of a video sequence from at least two different representations of the video sequence, the at least two representations being spatially partitioned into a plurality of tiles, each tile being associated with compressed data in the representation. The method is such that the tiles can be decoded independently from one another and at a given time the various representations are partitioned identically. The method includes selecting, according to at least one selection criterion, a set of tiles forming a partition of the sequence from the at least two representations, and composing an intermediate representation of the video sequence from compressed data associated with the selected set of tiles. The method can be implemented in a video decoding terminal or broadcasting server.

Abstract: A method for encoding and decoding a digital image signal, and associated devices. A method for encoding a digital image signal represented by a set of digital samples includes applying a segmentor to a reference digital image signal to obtain subsets of digital samples and applying a same filter among a set of predetermined filters to each sample of a subset of digital samples. The method includes a step of selecting (S320) a subset of segmentors from a predetermined set of segmentors based upon at least one characteristic obtained from the reference digital image signal, and a step (S330) of determining one segmentor among the selected subset of segmentors to apply to the reference digital image signal. Advantageously, a large initial set of segmentors can be used, the selection of a subset allowing to limit the computational complexity and adapt the segmentor to the reference digital image to be filtered.
