  • Patent number: 10616594
    Abstract: There is provided a picture encoding device that encodes a picture and encodes a difference quantization parameter in a unit of a quantization coding block which is divided from the picture and is a management unit of a quantization parameter. A quantization parameter calculator derives a quantization parameter of the quantization coding block to be encoded. A prediction quantization parameter derivation unit derives a prediction quantization parameter using the quantization parameters of a plurality of quantization coding blocks which precede the quantization coding block to be encoded in order of encoding. A difference quantization parameter generator derives a difference quantization parameter of the quantization coding block to be encoded, using a difference between the quantization parameter of the quantization coding block to be encoded and the prediction quantization parameter. A first bitstream generator encodes the difference quantization parameter of the quantization coding block to be encoded.

  • Patent number: 10334273
    Abstract: In a picture coding device for coding picture signals including a brightness signal and a color-difference signal in a block unit using intra-prediction and coding information regarding an intra-prediction mode, when aspect ratios of pixels of the brightness signal and the color-difference signal are different from each other, a bitstream generator converts a mode number of a first intra-color-difference prediction mode used when the aspect ratios are equal to each other into a scaled mode number and derives a second intra-color-difference prediction mode used when the aspect ratios are different from each other.

  • Publication number: 20180324442
    Abstract: In a moving picture coding device that codes a moving picture using motion compensation prediction in units of blocks acquired by dividing each picture of the moving picture, a prediction mode determiner derives motion information of a coding target block. A motion compensation predictor changes the derived motion information for the coding target block having a size smaller than or equal to a certain size when the coding target block has the size smaller than or equal to the certain size. The motion compensation predictor constructs a prediction signal of the coding target block through the motion compensation prediction using the derived motion information when the coding target block has a size larger than the certain size or using the changed motion information when the coding target block has the size smaller than or equal to the certain size.
