Method and device for transmitting block division information in image codec for security camera
The present invention relates to a method and device for transmitting block division information for efficient image coding in a video compression technique for a high-definition security camera. To this end, the present invention obtains block division information from a bitstream, determines the division form of an image by computing and predicting omitted information if there is omitted information in the obtained information, and performs video decoding in the unit of a divided block.
1. A method for decoding a video signal, with a decoding apparatus, comprising:
determining, with the decoding apparatus, a current block by dividing a coding block,
wherein the division of the coding block is performed recursively based on both a quad-division and a binary-division,
wherein the quad-division is performed without extracting division information for the quad-division from a bitstream, and
wherein the binary-division is performed by using three flags extracted from the bistream, the three flags including a first flag for indicating whether to divide a block into a plurality of sub-blocks, a second flag for indicating whether to use a binary-division type, and a third flag for indicating either a vertical direction or a horizontal direction and specifying a division direction of the binary-division;
obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, quantized coefficients by entropy-decoding a bitstream;
obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, a residual signal by performing an inverse-quantization and an inverse-transform on the quantized coefficients;
generating, with the decoding apparatus, a prediction signal of the current block by performing an intra prediction based on reconstructed pixel values of a neighboring block; and
reconstructing, with the decoding apparatus, the current block using the residual signal and the prediction signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , including performing a binary-division on a block obtained based on a prior binary-division, wherein the division information includes a first flag indicating whether to divide a block into a plurality of sub-blocks.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coding block is divided in the vertical direction when the third flag is equal to a first value, and
wherein the coding block is divided in the horizontal direction when the third flag is equal to a second value.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the current block is representative of a non-square.
5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more processor to:
determine a current block by dividing a coding block,
wherein the division of the coding block is performed recursively based on both a quad-division and a binary-division,
wherein the quad-division is implicitly performed without extracting division information for the quad-division from a bitstream, and
wherein the binary-division is performed by using three flags extracted from the bistream, the three flags including a first flag for indicating whether to divide a block into a plurality of sub-blocks, a second flag for indicating whether to use a binary-division type, and a third flag for indicating either a vertical direction or a horizontal direction and specifying a division direction of the binary-division;
obtain quantized coefficients by entropy-decoding a bitstream;
obtain a residual signal by performing an inverse-quantization and an inverse-transform on the quantized coefficients;
generate a prediction signal of the current block by performing an intra prediction based on reconstructed pixel values of a neighboring block; and
reconstruct the current block using the residual signal and the prediction signal.
