Patent number: 10382783Abstract: A decoding device includes a decoder that decodes information of a direction of intra-picture prediction of a target block and compression data of a residual signal, a prediction signal generator that generates an intra-picture prediction signal using the information of the direction and an previously reconstructed reference sample of an adjacent block, a residual signal restorator that restores a reconstructed residual signal of the target block, and a block storage that restores and stores a pixel signal of the target block.

Patent number: 10284846Abstract: An image predictive encoding device can efficiently encode an image, while suppressing an increase in prediction information and reducing the prediction error of a target block. In an image predictive encoding device, according to one embodiment, to produce a prediction signal of a partition in a target region, it is decided whether prediction information of a neighbouring region can be used. When prediction information of the neighbouring region can be used, a region width of the partition where the prediction information of the neighbouring region is used to produce the prediction signal is determined. The prediction signal of the target region is produced from a reconstructed signal based on at least one of the region width, the prediction information of the target region, and the prediction information of the neighbouring region. The prediction information, information identifying the region width, and a residual signal are encoded.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Yoshinori Suzuki, Choong Seng Boon
