DEPTH MAP CODING METHOD AND AN APPARATUS THEREOF USING BLOCK-BASED ADAPTIVE BIT-PLANE CODING FOR IMPROVING CODING EFFICIENCY OF THE DEPTH INFORMATION

摘要

PURPOSE: A depth map coding method and an apparatus thereof using bloc-based adaptive bit-plane coding for improving coding efficiency of the depth information are provided to improve the image quality and coding efficiency by using a method for adaptively selecting bit-plane.;CONSTITUTION: A block oriented bit plane coding method and an existing block oriented method for coding video are selected adaptively. The optimal mode is selected of the block oriented bit plane coding method and existing block oriented method for coding video. The bit rate is controlled in order to obtain the desired bit rate. The information map is divided into the block oriented of the MxN pixel size and each block is encoded the bit plane.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
