  • IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING BITSTREAM
    Publication number: 20220279161
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image encoding/decoding method. A method of decoding an image includes determining an intra prediction mode of a current block, and generating a prediction block of the current block, by performing prediction based on the intra prediction mode. When the intra prediction mode of the current block is a matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) mode, a length of a reference sample used for intra prediction is derived based on a length of the current block.

  • APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR SETTING A DUTY CYCLE ADJUSTER FOR IMPROVING CLOCK DUTY CYCLE
    Publication number: 20220270657
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for setting a duty cycler adjuster for improving clock duty cycle are disclosed. The duty cycle adjuster may be adjusted by different amounts, at least one smaller than another. Determining when to use the smaller adjustment may be based on duty cycle results. A duty cycle monitor may have an offset. A duty cycle code for the duty cycle adjuster may be set to an intermediate value of a duty cycle monitor offset. The duty cycle monitor offset may be determined by identifying duty cycle codes for an upper and for a lower boundary of the duty cycle monitor offset.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING USING SELECTIVE INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN CHANNELS
    Publication number: 20220272368
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. Coding decision information of a representative channel of a target block is shared as coding decision information of a target channel of the target block, and decoding of the target block is performed using the coding decision information of the target channel. Since the coding decision information of the representative channel is shared with an additional channel, repeated signaling of identical coding decision information may be prevented. By means of this prevention, the efficiency of encoding and decoding of the target block or the like may be improved.

  • METHOD, DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR ENCODING/DECODING IMAGE USING REFERENCE PICTURE
    Publication number: 20220272321
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method, apparatus, and storage medium for image encoding/decoding using a reference picture. A reference picture list is configured for encoding/decoding of a target block. Upon configuring the reference picture list, a sequence parameter set and a slice header are used. A picture is divided into sub-pictures and/or slices, and reference picture lists are configured for the sub-pictures and/or slices resulting from division. Reference picture lists for slices may be related to each other, and a current reference picture and a future reference picture in one reference picture list may be used in an additional reference picture list.

  • Method and apparatus for image encoding and image decoding using temporal motion information
    Patent number: 11425390
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a decoding method and apparatus and an encoding method and apparatus that perform inter-prediction using a motion vector predictor. For a candidate block in a col picture, a scaled motion vector is generated based on a motion vector of the candidate block. When the scaled motion vector indicates a target block, a motion vector predictor of the target block is generated based on the motion vector of the candidate block. The motion vector predictor is used to derive the motion vector of the target block in a specific inter-prediction mode such as a merge mode and an AMVP mode.
