Abstract

In the case of predicting the coded image while predicting the image signal in a different way for each area after dividing the entire image, the decoded pixel values ​​of the area around the processing area where the processing has been terminated are used to make use of the continuity of the space where the subject exists. Estimate the number of subjects or the representative pixel value of each subject. As a result, the amount of code required for encoding the "number of subjects within the processing area" or "pixel values ​​representing each subject within the processing area" is reduced, the "number of subjects within the processing area" or "Pixel value representing each subject within the processing area" is a value corresponding to an arbitrary subject shape using the pixel value representing each subject within the processing area and information for identifying each pixel subject within the processing area. It is necessary for high-precision image signal prediction and can realize efficient image coding. In addition, by using the decoded pixel values ​​of the pixels in the surrounding areas that have been processed with the same information on the encoding side and the decoding side, even in the case of H. 264, it is also possible to appropriately perform prediction when encoding is performed by selecting one of a plurality of image signal prediction modes for each region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image encoding and decoding technology, in particular to an image encoding method suitable for encoding images such as distance images, an image decoding method, an image encoding device, an image decoding device and its program. [0002] this application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-218037 for which it applied on September 29, 2010, and uses the content here. Background technique [0003] The so-called distance image is an image in which the distance from the camera to the subject is expressed as a pixel value. Since the distance from the camera to the subject is also called the depth of the scene, the distance image is also called the depth image. In addition, it is also called a depth map (DepthMap) because of the depth (Depth). In the field of computer graphics, the depth is information stored in the Z buffer (a memory area where the depth of the entire screen is collected and s...
