Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image decoding device is provided which includes an intra prediction module for reconstructing an intra prediction mode and creating a prediction block of a current block or a sub block, an inverse scanning module for converting residual signals into a quantization block, an inverse quantization module for inversely quantizing the quantization block, and an inverse transform module for inversely-transforming the inversely-quantized block. A quantization parameter predictor for deriving the quantization parameter is created using quantization parameters of a left coding unit and a top coding unit of a current coding unit. Therefore, it is possible to improve image quality by adaptively adjusting a quantization parameter of a current block depending on the size of a coding unit and enhance compression efficiency of an image by effectively encoding/decoding the quantization parameter to reduce the number of bits required for transmitting the quantization parameter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An image decoding device comprising: a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising: reconstructing a prediction mode and creating a prediction block with the reconstructed prediction mode; converting residual signals into a two-dimensional quantization block; inversely quantizing the quantization block using a quan…
