  • Patent number: 10609445
    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.

  • Patent number: 10412417
    Abstract: The present technique relates to an image processing device and method capable of performing an encoding process or a decoding process on an image at high speed. Similarly, arithmetic coding parameters arranged together in the syntax are subjected to a variable length (fixed length) decoding process together. Similarly, arithmetic coding parameters arranged together in the syntax are subjected to an arithmetic decoding process together. Accordingly, since the alternations of firmware and hardware are performed together, it is possible to improve the processing efficiency of decoding. As a result, it is possible to perform the process at high speed. The present disclosure can be applied to image processing devices, for example.
