  • TRANSCODING APPARATUS, TRANSCODING METHOD, AND TRANSCODING PROGRAM
    Publication number: 20200213602
    Abstract: In a transcoding apparatus structured to transcode one bitstream to a plurality of bitstreams, a decoder decodes a first bitstream and outputs a first decoded picture. A first re-encoder re-encodes the first decoded picture on the basis of the first bitstream to generate a second bitstream having a smaller bit rate than the first bitstream.

    Publication number: 20200137410
    Abstract: A prediction information deriving unit derives the inter-prediction information candidates from inter-prediction information of a prediction block neighboring to a coding target prediction block or a prediction block present at the same position as or near the coding target prediction block in a coded picture at a temporally different position from the coding target prediction block. A candidate supplementing unit supplements inter-prediction information candidates having the same prediction mode, reference index, and motion vector until the number of inter-prediction information candidates reaches the designated number of candidates when the number of inter-prediction information candidates is smaller than the designated number of candidates.
