Title: Methods, devices and computer programs for encoding and/or decoding images in video bit-streams using weighted predictions
Inventor: CHRISTOPHE GISQUET
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2016-02-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding an image of a video stream according a coding mode selected among several that comprises one using reconstructed pixel blocks of the image to be encoded, such as intra-block copy, where blocks of the image to be encoded are predicted as a function of a weighted prediction method based on a reference image. After having determined whether or not a first portion of the image to be encoded, that belongs to a set reference images, is to be used for encoding a second portion of the image to be encoded, the determination being based on a parameter whose value depends on the coding mode to be used for encoding the second portion of the image to be encoded, weighted prediction information is signalled if the first portion of the image to be encoded, that belongs to the set of reference images, is not to be used for encoding the image. This allows for use of a weighted prediction mode when both scalable and screen content coding extensions of HEVC are made available. A corresponding decoding method and apparatus is also disclosed.
