METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREDICTIVE CODING/DECODING OF A GROUP OF PICTURES OF A SEQUENCE OF IMAGES WITH CONVERSION OF THE DYNAMIC OF THE VALUES OF THE PIXELS
The invention relates to a predictive coding/decoding method/device for a group of pictures belonging to a sequence of images, using at least one reference image belonging to a group of pictures other than the group of pictures to code, and converting the values of the pixels of the images of the group of pictures from a configurable transform such that these values are expressed in a target dynamic. The method is characterised in that it converts the values of the pixels of each reference image from the transform thus configured identically to the one used to convert the values of the pixels of the images of the group of pictures to code.
1 . Predictive coding method of a first group of pictures belonging to a sequence of images, using at least one reference image belonging to a second group of pictures other than the first group of pictures to be coded, and converting the values of the pixels of the first and second group of pictures from a transform using parameters in such a manner that these values are expressed in a target dynamic, it converts the values of the pixels of each reference image from the transform using the parameters used for transforming the values of the pixels of the images of the first group of pictures,
characterised in that the parameters (p i ) used to transform the images of the first group of pictures (GOPO i ) and each reference image are determined by considering the images of the first group of pictures (GOP i ) and each reference image.
2 . Predictive decoding method of a first group of pictures belonging to a sequence of images, using at least one reference image belonging to a second group of pictures other than the first group of pictures to be decoded, and converting the values of the pixels of the the first and second group of pictures from a transform using parameters in such a manner that these values are expressed in a target dynamic, the method comprising converting the values of the pixels of each reference image from the transform using the parameters used for transforming the values of the pixels of the images of the first group of pictures to be decoded,
the parameters (p i ) used to transform the images of the first group of pictures (GOP i ) and each reference image (R i−1 j ) are determined by considering the images of the first group of pictures (GOP i ) and each reference image.

predictively decode the images of the first a group of pictures by using at least one reference image belonging to a second group of pictures other than the first group of pictures to be coded,
convert the values of the pixels of the first and second group of pictures from a transform using parameters in such a manner that these values are expressed in a target dynamic, and
convert the values of the pixels of each reference image from the transform using the parameters used for transforming the values of the pixels of the images of the first group of pictures to be decoded,
the parameters (p i ) used to transform the images of the first group of pictures (GOP i ) and each reference image (R i−1 j ) are determined by considering the images of the first group of pictures (GOP i ) and each reference image.
