  • Publication number: 20200195970
    Abstract: An image decoding device (31) includes a transform coefficient decoding unit (311) configured to decode a transform coefficient for a transform tree included in a coding unit. In the transform tree, the transform coefficient decoding unit splits a transform unit corresponding to luminance and then decodes the transform coefficient related to the luminance, and does not split the transform unit corresponding to chrominance and decodes the transform coefficient related to the chrominance.

  • Publication number: 20200177911
    Abstract: In a case of referring to information between pictures by means of inter prediction, the entire picture needs to be decoded even in a case of decoding a small region. In a case of referring to information within a picture by means of intra prediction, referring to information across a tile boundary is not possible. In a case that a pixel pointed by a sub-block level motion vector of a target block that is calculated by scaling based on an available motion vector acquired from a spatial neighboring block or a temporal neighboring block is not present within a tile sequence, a process of replacing the pixel value with a pixel value within the tile sequence is performed. In a case of referring to a pixel outside of a tile by means of intra prediction, a process of replacing the pixel value with that of a pixel within the tile is performed.

  • Publication number: 20190327466
    Abstract: To improve coding efficiency, an image decoding apparatus (31) is provided with a prediction image generation unit (308) configured to derive prediction parameters of multiple luminance blocks included in a target coding unit, derive multiple sub-block coordinates in a chrominance block corresponding to the target coding unit, and generate an intra prediction image with reference to the prediction parameters derived for the luminance block corresponding to each sub-block specified by each of the derived coordinates.

  • Patent number: 8727762
    Abstract: In order to ensure quality of pellets by eliminating temperature differences among extrusion nozzle holes with use of a heating medium flowing through heating channels only once and flowing out through a heating medium outlet, provided is a die plate for resin granulation, in which a plate main body (1) is divided into regions (A to n) for every 360/n (n=4, 6, or 8) degrees, or into first to fourth regions (A to D) for every 90 degrees, and an inner annular heating passage (4) and an outer annular heating passage (5) are formed. A heating medium (F) supplied through a heating medium inlet (2) flows through heating channels (8) only once, and then flows out through a heating medium outlet (3) to an outside.
