METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENCODING IMAGES USING IMPROVED PREDICTION, AND CORRESPONDING DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE, SIGNAL AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE

摘要

The invention relates to a technique for encoding image data, and to a corresponding decoding technique. The invention comprises implementing a prediction of data of a current block (2) based on at least one already encoded block (1, 6) or reference block, wherein said prediction step takes into account a set of encoded blocks adjacent to said current block and including blocks that have not yet been considered according to said writing path order. The encoding includes the steps of: generating a dependence tree associating a current block with at least one reference block from which the predicted block associated with the current block has been predetermined; and inserting information representative of said dependence tree into said set of data associated with each block.
