Abstract

According to an embodiment, a decoding device includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire first format information, encoded data, and first filter information, the first format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data; a decoding unit configured to decode the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and a converting unit configured to convert a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by a first color-difference format by using a filter identified by the filter information.

Claims (42)

1. A decoding device comprising:

a receiver to acquire transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;

a decoder to decode the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and

a converter to convert a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by using the filter which has been configured by the filter information which has been acquired by the receiver,

wherein:

the filter information includes a filter index, and

the converter selects a filter including at least one of a horizontal sampling filter and a vertical sampling filter from predetermined filters in accordance with the filter index, the first color-difference format information, and the second color-difference format information.

2. A decoding device comprising:

a receiver to acquiring transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first format color-difference information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;

a decoder to decode the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and

a converter to convert a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by using the filter which has been configured by the filter information which has been acquired by the receiver,

wherein:

the filter information includes a filter identification, and

the converter selects a filter including at least one of a horizontal sampling filter and a vertical sampling filter from predetermined filters in accordance with the filter identification, the first color-difference format information, and the second color-difference format information.

3. A decoding device comprising:

means for acquiring transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;

means for decoding the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and

means for converting a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by using the filter which has been configured by the filter information which has been acquired by the means for acquiring,

wherein:

the filter information includes a filter index, and

the means for converting selects a filter including at least one of a horizontal sampling filter and a vertical sampling filter from predetermined filters in accordance with the filter index, the first color-difference format information, and the second color-difference format information.

4. A decoding device comprising:

means for acquiring transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;

means for decoding the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and

means for converting a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by using the filter which has been configured by the filter information which has been acquired by the means for acquiring,

wherein:

the filter information includes a filter identification, and

the means for converting selects a filter including at least one of a horizontal sampling filter and a vertical sampling filter from predetermined filters in accordance with the filter identification, the first color-difference format information, and the second color-difference format information.

5. A decoding method, comprising:

acquiring transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;

decoding the encoded data to obtain a decoded image; and

converting a color-difference format of the decoded image represented by using the filter which has been configured by the filter information which has been acquired by the acquiring,

wherein:

the filter information includes a filter index, and

the converting selects a filter including at least one of a horizontal sampling filter and a vertical sampling filter from predetermined filters in accordance with the filter index, the first color-difference format information, and the second color-difference format information.

6. A decoding method, comprising:

acquiring transmission information including first color-difference format information, second color-difference format information, encoded data, and filter information, the first color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component of the encoded data, the second color-difference format information indicating a resolution of a color-difference component used when reproducing a decoded image obtained by decoding the encoded data, the filter information indicating a configuration of a filter, the resolution of the color-difference component of each of the first color-difference format information and the second color-difference format information indicating a color-difference format of a 4:4:4 format, a 4:2:2 format, or a 4:2:0 format;
