METHOD OF ENCODING IMAGE DATA, ENCODER USING THE METHOD, AND APPLICATION PROCESSOR INCLUDING THE ENCODER

摘要

A method of encoding image data, an encoder, and an application processor including the encoder are provided. The encoder includes a correlation measure block configured to compare macroblocks of a first frame with macroblocks of a second frame and to generate block correlation information for the macroblocks; and an encoding module configured to determine whether to perform inter prediction on an input macroblock of the second frame, based on a reference frame obtained by encoding and decoding the first frame and the second frame according to the block correlation information.
