  • Patent number: 10951871
    Abstract: There is provided a generation device, an identification information generation method, a reproduction device, and an image reproduction method capable of identifying a packing scheme. Stereo packing identification information for identifying a scheme of packing is generated with regard to a plurality of region images of a celestial sphere image packed in a packed frame. In a case in which packing is performed by one of a plurality of packing schemes, stereo packing identification information indicating a packing method can be generated, a projected frame can be generated easily on the basis of the identification information, and the projected frame can be rendered. The present technology can be applied to a case in which a celestial sphere stereoscopic image is transmitted to be reproduced on a reception side.

  • Patent number: 10893279
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a decoding apparatus and a decoding method and a coding apparatus and a coding method capable of adjusting a compression rate of a lowest limit. A decoding unit decodes a bit stream coded according to an H.265/HEVC standard having a profile in which a lowest compression rate at the time of coding an image is set for each of a main tier and a high tier in units of Coding Units (CU) that are recursively divided. The present disclosure, for example, can be applied to a decoding apparatus of an High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) system and the like.

  • Publication number: 20200304814
    Abstract: The buffer management methods simplify the complexity of STD buffer management for HEVC and make is easy to implement HEVC in deployed AVC/MPEG-2 networks (as legacy re-multiplexers are able to be used for re-purposing HEVC content). The buffers for base and enhancement layers are also also be managed independently before re-assembly and this simplifies the STD model. Re-assembly is still implemented before decoding an enhanced HEVC video stream.

  • Patent number: 10769815
    Abstract: The image processing device includes a scale correction unit. In a case where a difference between a width of a lane calculated by a lane-width calculation unit and a width of the lane acquired from map data is greater than a predetermined value that serves as a criterion for correcting errors, the scale correction unit corrects a correlation between a length of a subject in a captured image and the number of pixels constituting the captured image.

  • Patent number: 10659839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an encoding device and a method, a decoding device and a method, an editing device and a method, a storage medium, and a program which can perform encoding and decoding so that buffer failure does not occur. Information, such as a minimum bit rate, a minimum buffer size, and a minimum initial delay time, is contained in a random access point header contained in an accessible point in a bitstream. A bitsteam analyzing unit 72 analyzes an input bitstream, sets the above-mentioned information, and outputs the resulting information to a buffer-information adding unit 73. The buffer-information adding unit 73 adds the input information to the input bitstream and outputs the resulting bitstream. The present invention is applicable to an encoding device and a decoding device which process bitstreams.
