IMAGE CODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE CODING METHOD, AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD
An image coding apparatus, including an encoder and a memory, and an image coding method are provided. In the image coding apparatus, the encoder executes operations, including obtaining a reference-specific image from storage accessible by the encoder, the reference-specific image being referenced from one or more other images to be displayed, and storing the reference-specific image in the memory. The operations further include encoding one or more to-be-displayed images by referring to the reference-specific image, wherein the obtained reference-specific image is formed by integrating a plurality of images. An image decoding apparatus and an image decoding method are also provided.
1 . An image coding apparatus including an encoder and a memory, the encoder executing operations comprising:
obtaining a reference-specific image from storage accessible by the encoder, the reference-specific image being referenced from one or more other images to be displayed;
storing the reference-specific image in the memory; and
encoding one or more to-be-displayed images by referring to the reference-specific image,
wherein the reference-specific image obtained in the obtaining is formed by integrating a plurality of images.
2 . An image decoding apparatus including a decoder and a memory, the decoder executing operations comprising:
obtaining a reference-specific image from storage accessible by the decoder, the reference-specific image being referenced from one or more other images to be displayed;
storing the reference-specific image in the memory; and
decoding one or more to-be-displayed images by referring to the reference-specific image,
wherein the reference-specific image obtained in the obtaining is formed by integrating a plurality of images.
3 . An image coding method being executed by a processor, the image coding method comprising:
obtaining a reference-specific image, the reference-specific image being not displayed and being referenced from one or more other images to be displayed; and
encoding one or more to-be-displayed images by referring to the reference-specific image,
wherein the reference-specific image obtained in the obtaining is formed by integrating a plurality of images.
4 . An image decoding method being executed by a processor, the image decoding method comprising:
obtaining a reference-specific image, the reference-specific image being referenced from one or more other images to be displayed; and
decoding one or more to-be-displayed images by referring to the reference-specific image,
wherein the reference-specific image obtained in the obtaining is formed by integrating a plurality of images.
