  • Patent number: 11935212
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and method that make it possible to suppress increase of a prediction error. Image data is encoded by a method according to a type of pixel. For example, image data is encoded by a method according to whether the pixel is an image plane phase difference detection pixel or a normal pixel. Further, encoded data of image data is decoded by a method according to a type of pixel. For example, encoded data is decoded by a method according to whether the image is an image plane phase difference detection pixel or a normal pixel. The present technology can be applied, for example, to an image processing apparatus, an image encoding apparatus, an image decoding apparatus, an imaging device, an imaging apparatus, or the like.

  • Patent number: 8155190
    Abstract: A coding apparatus includes: an intra-coding complexity detecting section that detects an intra-coding complexity indicating a complexity of an intra-coding process; an inter-coding complexity detecting section that detects an inter-coding complexity indicating a complexity of an inter-coding process; a characteristic curve calculating section that calculates a characteristic curve indicating a value of strength data indicating the strength of a deblocking filter with a data amount per unit time of coded data as a variable, on the basis of the intra-coding complexity and the inter-coding complexity; and a strength value calculating section that calculates a value of the strength data by substituting a data amount of the coded data into the characteristic curve.

  • Publication number: 20110228857
    Abstract: There is provided a video data processing apparatus including an encoder and a synthesis processor. The encoder is configured to compression-encode input uncompressed video data, to thereby generate compressed video data. The synthesis processor is configured to uncompression-decode the compressed video data generated by the encoder, to thereby obtain decoded video data having a time range, to obtain uncompressed video data of a time range same as the time range of the decoded video data, and to generate synthesized video data in which a video image of the decoded video data and a video image of the uncompressed video data are displayed in sync with each other and in parallel to each other on one display screen.
