Patent number: 6240212Abstract: There is provided an improved scan interleaving method suitable for multipurpose encoding of binary image data, and for selectively encoding a part or the whole of object image data according to presence or absence of exceptional sampling data (ESD). In the present invention, when the pixel data of base image data and the corresponding pixel data of the object image data to be scan-interleaved are the same (in the case of predictive sampling data), no encoding is performed on the pixels of the object image data which have no ESD, thus simplifying the algorithm and system implementation. As a result, the overall encoding performance can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1998Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Se-hoon Son, Euee-seon Jang, Jae-seob Shin

Patent number: 6173080Abstract: A discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient prediction method and a DCT coefficient encoding method are provided. For the prediction of AC coefficients, location information of the nonzero AC coefficients is used. Then, the AC coefficients are divided into the vertical and horizontal component areas, and a remaining area, and variable modified zigzag scanning is applied for encoding. The performance of the AC coefficient prediction coding is improved as the absolute values of the predicted coefficients are small, and as the number of coefficients of value zero increases. The coefficients of value zero may be predicted as nonzero, so these coefficients are eliminated from the prediction. On the other hand, when using the characteristics of the adjacent blocks in a spatial domain, a larger weighted value is applied to the pixel values which are the nearest to the current block, thereby improving the prediction characteristics for DC/AC coefficients in a discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1997Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dae-sung Cho, Shi-hwa Lee, Jae-seob Shin

Patent number: 5943447Abstract: A video signal encoding and/or decoding method based on adaptive lattice quantization. An input frame of a video sequence is partitioned into blocks of pixel data called vectors. The set of the vectors is partitioned into blocks called macroblocks. The vectors in each macroblock are subjected to lattice vector quantization which examines the range of vector components in multiple dimensions and adjusts the density of lattice vectors in accordance with the range of vector components. Quantization unit replaces each input vector for a nearest lattice vector in multidimensional space. Each quantized vector in the macroblock is converted into an index of a lattice vector. An overhead information about the range in a macroblock and set of indices with or without subsequent Huffman or Arithmetic coding is transmitted to or stored in the receiver end.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Vadim B.
