Inter-frame predicted image synthesizing method

摘要

A method and apparatus for simplifying an operation for the processing of a warping prediction of dividing an image into patches and deforming each patch by affine transform or bilinear transform. Motion vectors of a plurality of representative points in which a spatial interval has a special feature are obtained from at least one patch formed with a plurality of grid points. Information of the motion vectors are used for synthesis of a predicted image. The division for synthesizing a predicted image in the case of warping prediction is replaced with a shift operation, thereby simplifying the processing by a computer or exclusive hardware.
