METHOD FOR CODING VIDEO SIGNALS USING BASE-LINE

摘要

An apparatus for encoding a contour of an object in a video signal by using a baseline-based shape coding technique first determines a baseline based on contour image data and generates a one-dimensional sample list of the contour based on the baseline. Subsequently, the apparatus produces a reconstructed contour based on the one-dimensional sample list and extracts the difference between the reconstructed contour and the original contour. The detected difference is sampled in order to create an error sample list and, finally, the one-dimensional sample list is compensated based on the error sample list.
