MULTI-VIEW IMAGE CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS USING VARIABLE GOP PREDICTION STRUCTURE, MULTI-VIEW IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A multi focus image encoding method and a device, an image decoding device and a recording medium recording a program for using a GOP for increasing encoding efficiency are provided to improve the efficiency of the multi-viewpoint image coding through the adjustment about the screen predictive scheme of the time direction. A buffer(102) inputs a group of picture including a plurality of screens. The buffer stores data about the inputted group of picture. A prediction mode encoder(106) encodes the screens of the group of picture according to the modes. A bit-distortion value calculator(108) calculates bit - distortion cost values of the encoded screens. A prediction mode determiner(110) determines one group prediction mode among group prediction modes.
