Abstract: A method for coding a sequence of video images comprising a cutting into zones of at least one current image of the sequence, characterized in that, for the coding of at least one target zone of said at least one current image, it comprises the steps of: determination (E2) of a set of candidate zones in previously coded and then decoded parts of images of the sequence, minimizing a prediction error calculated over the neighborhood of the target zone, formation (E3) of a set of groups of candidate zones in said set of candidate zones, as a function of a criterion of similarity between the candidate zones, identification (E6) of a best group in said set of groups, minimizing a reconstruction error with respect to the target zone, determination (E6) of an indication (n) representative of said identified best group; and coding (E7) of said indication (n).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for coding a multidimensional signal (LL0) comprising samples to form a coded stream (FC), such as an image or a multimedia content. The method comprises: —filtering (E102) original samples by applying a first filter (F, G) to obtain filtered samples (L1) —coding (E172) said filtered samples to obtain coded filtered samples adapted to be decoded by a decoder into decoded filtered samples, —applying (E106) a lossy modification on the filtered samples to obtain modified samples (L1dec); —determining (E110, E130, E150) a geometric orientation of one second filter (F?, G?) to be applied by the decoder to a decoded filtered sample, the determining being based on the modified samples, the original samples and a predetermined criterion, and —providing (E174) said determined geometric orientations and said coded filtered samples to the decoder.

Abstract: To filter a digital signal, in which, for each sample of the signal, a plurality of context functions take account of a predetermined number of other samples of the signal: the value of a context function from the plurality of context functions for each sample to be filtered is calculated; the signal is divided into a set of sub-signals corresponding respectively to the different values of the context functions; and, for each sub-signal: an optimal filter is determined according to a first criterion that depends on the values of the sub-signal; and the optimal filter is associated with the context function corresponding to the sub-signal. Application to the coding of a digital signal representing an image.

Abstract: A method for processing a digital signal comprises receiving an output encoded signal (Sd,sc) obtained from an original digital signal (Si) having an initial spatial resolution and an initial bit rate, the output encoded signal having a bitrate lower than the initial bitrate, processing the output encoded signal to obtain a source signal (Sv) having the initial spatial resolution, and dividing (E303) samples of the source signal into at least two subsets of samples, the subsets corresponding respectively to different spatial grids that are arranged so that at least some samples of one subset are interleaved spatially with at least some samples of another said subset.

Abstract: In order to classify samples representing a digital image signal, for at least one sample the output values of a predetermined set of filters applied to that sample are determined. The sample is then classified in a first region or in a second region according to a measurement representing the dispersion of the output values.
