Abstract: A method and an apparatus perform a video call service. A transmission communication device provides information on a rotation angle of a video call image transmitted during a video call to a reception communication device corresponding to a counterpart of the video call. Then, the reception communication device renders the received video call image by using the information on the rotation angle of the received video call image, and displays a rendered video call image. Accordingly, an image of a counterpart of the video call can be normally provided during the video call.

Abstract: A distributed video decoder and a distributed video decoding method are provided. The distributed video decoder includes a key picture decoding unit which reconstructs a key picture received from an encoder, a hash information selecting unit which determines necessary hash information using the reconstructed key picture and/or generated previous side information, and a side information generating unit which generates side information using the reconstructed key picture and/or hash information selected based on information determined by the hash information selecting unit. The distributed video decoder further includes a channel code decoding unit which estimates a quantized value by using a parity bit received from the encoder and the generated side information, and a video reconstructing unit which reconstructs a current picture as a decoding target by using the quantized value estimated by the channel code decoding unit and the generated side information.
