METHOD FOR IMAGE PREDICTION OF MULTI-VIEW VIDEO CODEC AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM THEREFOR

摘要

Provided are a method for image prediction of a multi-view video codec capable of improving coding efficiency, and a computer readable recording medium therefor. The method for image prediction of a multi-view video codec includes partitioning an image to a plurality of base blocks, acquiring information of reference images which are temporally different, acquiring information of reference images which have different views, and predicting a target block based on the acquired information. Accordingly, an image that is most similar to an image of a view to be currently compressed is generated using multiple images of different views, so that coding efficiency can be improved.

1. A method for image prediction of a multi-view video codec, which encodes multi-view images including a base view and at least one view that is not the base view, the method comprising:
partitioning a current image into a plurality of base blocks; predicting the plurality of base blocks by using an image, which has the same view as a view of the current image, but is temporally different, or by using an image, which has a different view from the view of the current image; acquiring a difference between a prediction result of the base block and the base block and then encoding the difference; and generating a bitstream including the encoded difference, wherein the generating of the bitstream comprises of including information associated with the different view used for the prediction of the base block included in the current image in the bitstream in case where the base block included in the current image is predicted by using the image which has the different view from the view of the current image in the predicting of the plurality of base blocks.
