METHOD FOR ENCODING AND DECODING IMAGES, DEVICE FOR ENCODING AND DECODING IMAGES AND CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAMS

摘要

An encoding device and method are provided for encoding at least one image split into partitions. The method implements, for a current partition to be encoded, steps of: selecting at least one causal partition already encoded and then decoded; calculating at least one optimal encoding parameter associated with the selected causal partition, according to a predetermined criterion of encoding performance, by comparing a plurality of encoding parameters applied to the selected causal partition; and encoding the current partition by using the calculated optimum encoding parameter.
