  • Publication number: 20240107002
    Abstract: A method for coding image information includes generating prediction information by predicting information on a current coding unit, and determining whether the information on the current coding unit is the same as the prediction information. When the information on the current coding unit is the same as the prediction information, a flag indicating that the information on the current coding unit is the same as the prediction information is coded and transmitted. When the information on the current coding unit is not the same as the prediction information, a flag indicating that the information on the current coding unit is not the same as the prediction information and the information on the current coding unit are coded and transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20240073416
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.

  • Publication number: 20180349669
    Abstract: An operating method of an optical fingerprint sensor, an operating method of an electronic device including the optical fingerprint sensor, and a display device including the optical fingerprint sensor are disclosed. The method of operating a fingerprint sensor, wherein the fingerprint sensor senses a fingerprint image based on light reflected from a fingerprint, may include transmitting a first signal indicating a first request to turn on light emission, to a display driving circuit which drives a display panel disposed on the fingerprint sensor, scanning an object on the display panel, based on light irradiated from the display panel, and transmitting, to the display driving circuit, a second signal indicating a second request to turn off the light emission.
