APPARATUS FOR CODING OR DECODING INTRA IMAGE BASED ON LINE INFORMATION OF REFERENCE IMAGE BLOCK

摘要

An apparatus for coding an image is provided to effectively code the image. The apparatus for coding the image includes an input image segmentation unit to segment an input image into a plurality of image blocks including a first image block and a second image block. The apparatus also includes a waveform information generation unit to select a plurality of reference pixels from among pixels included in the first image block, generate first waveform information about the first image block based on a pixel value difference between the selected plurality of reference pixels, and generate second waveform information about the second image block based on a pixel value difference between the pixels included in the second image block. The apparatus also includes a coding unit to code an image included in the second image block based on the first waveform information and the second waveform information.

1. An apparatus for coding an image, the apparatus comprising:
an input image segmentation unit configured to segment an input image into a plurality of image blocks; a waveform information generation unit configured to select reference pixels of a predetermined direction from pixels neighboring a target image block that is an image block to be coded among the plurality of image blocks, and generate waveform information that represents differences between the selected reference pixels; and a coding unit configured to code an image included in the target image block based on the waveform information.
