Wavelet Transform Aparatus and Method, Scalable Video Coding Apparatus and Method Employing the Same, and Scalable Video Decoding Apparatus and Method Thereof

摘要

Provided are a lift-based wavelet transform apparatus and method, a scalable video coding apparatus and method using the same, and a scalable video decoding apparatus and method. The lifting-based wavelet transform apparatus includes: a prediction unit which performs bidirectional motion compensation on odd-indexed frames based on even-indexed frames and generates high-frequency frames using differential frames from which most of energy is removed; an update determination unit which, in the even-indexed frame, determines whether to update each target block at which a reference block indicated by a motion vector is placed; and an update unit which updates a target block of the even-indexed frame which is determined to be updated by adding the differential frame to each target sub-block included in the target block and generates low-frequency frames.
