  • Publication number: 20180124432
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of encoding a division block in video encoding and a method of decoding a division block in video decoding. An input picture is divided into encoding unit blocks. The encoding unit blocks are divided into sub-blocks. The sub-blocks are encoded by selectively using at least one of intra prediction encoding and inter prediction encoding. A decoding process is performed through a reverse process of the encoding method. When pixel values of an encoding unit block are encoded in video encoding, the flexibility in selecting an encoding mode is increased and the efficiency of encoding is increased.

  • Publication number: 20170372461
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technology that separates a low-contrast-ratio image into sublayer images, classifies each sublayer image into several categories in accordance with the characteristics of each sublayer image, and learns a transformation matrix representing a relationship between the low-contrast-ratio image and a high-contrast-ratio image for each category. In addition, the present invention provides a technology that separates an input low-contrast-ratio image into sublayer images, selects a category corresponding to each sublayer image, and applies a learned transformation matrix to generate a high.
