The image decoding method includes partitioning a picture into a plurality of coding units, constructing a coding unit group including at least one coding unit of the plurality of coding units, obtaining coding information in units of one coding unit group, and decoding at least one coding unit of the plurality of coding units included in the coding unit group by using the obtained coding information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light transmitting and receiving device and method, which output the power of a partial optical pulse such that the power thereof is different from that of another optical pulse, so as to receive reflected light, and identify whether an object, which is undetectable using the reflected light of an optical pulse outputted with relatively low power, is detected using the reflected light of an optical pulse outputted with relatively high power, so as to adjust the power of an optical pulse to be output thereafter. Therefore, detection efficiency can be maximized using low power while eye safety requirements are satisfied.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an integrated light transmission/reception optical system module includes a light receiving lens, a light source, and a light transmitting mirror. The light receiving lens receives light, concentrates the received light on a light detector disposed at a rear position, and has an optical path groove formed to be directed from a circumference to a central portion and formed to expose a front side. The light source outputs a pulse laser along the optical path groove from the circumference of the light receiving lens toward the central portion of the light receiving lens. The light transmitting mirror is disposed within the optical path groove, is located on a path of the pulse laser, and reflects in a front direction the pulse laser outputted from the light source. Other embodiments are also possible.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) optical system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a first mirror which is disposed to make a predetermined first angle with a horizontal plane and has a first hollow; a light source for outputting a pulse laser from the lower portion of the first mirror; a second mirror which is disposed to make a predetermined second angle with the first mirror so that the pulse laser passes through the first hollow and travels to a measurement target; at least two path control mirrors which reflect the pulse laser so that the path of the pulse laser is formed on a reflective surface of the second mirror; a light receiving lens for receiving, from the lower portion of the first mirror, light which has been reflected through the first mirror.
