Patent number: 11290717Abstract: An encoding method with multiple image block division manners is disclosed, including: determining a division manner and a division direction of an image block; dividing the image block to obtain image subblocks sequentially arranged horizontally or vertically; determining whether the image subblocks need subdivision, and if subdivision is not needed, predicting the encoding object in the frame according to the image subblocks, to obtain residual data; performing transformation, quantization, and entropy encoding for the residual data so as to obtain coded residual data; and writing the division manner of the image block, the division direction of the image block, an identifier indicating whether the image subblocks need subdivision, and the coded residual data into a bitstream. By applying the encoding method, better prediction accuracy can be achieved when the image block presents a small change of pixel value in the horizontal or vertical direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignees: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Tsinghua UniversityInventors: Changcai Lai, Xiaoran Cao, Yongbing Lin, Lingzhi Liu, Yun He

Patent number: 10368086Abstract: The present application discloses an image coding/decoding method, device, and system, where an encoder performs singular vector decomposition on a prediction block corresponding to a to-be-coded image block, to obtain eigenvector matrices U and V of the prediction block; and performs coding processing on residual data according to the eigenvector matrices U and V of the prediction block, where the residual data is a difference between a pixel value of the to-be-coded image block and a pixel value of the corresponding prediction block. This can reduce identifier load of a coded bit stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignees: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Tsinghua UniversityInventors: Xiaoran Cao, Yun He, Xiaozhen Zheng, Jianhua Zheng
