Image Processing Apparatus And Image Processing Method

Abstract: This technique relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method for allowing multi viewpoint images to be efficiently generated. An establishing unit of a non base encoding unit establishes view direction management information for managing base images of a base view that are to be stored in a decode picture buffer when dependent images of a dependent view are encoded. An encoding unit of the non base encoding unit encodes the base images and dependent images to generate encoded data. A transmitting unit of the non base encoding unit transmits the established view direction management information and generated encoded data. This technique can be applied to for example an image processing apparatus that encodes multi viewpoint images.

Specification

CLAIMS
[Claim 11
An image processing device, comprising:
a setting unit that sets view direction management
information for managing a base image of a base view, which
is stored in a decoded picture buffer when encoding a
dependent image of a dependent view;
an encoding unit that generates encoded data by
encoding the base image and the dependent image; and
a delivery unit that delivers the view direction
management information that is set by the setting unit and
the encoded data that is generated by the encoding unit.
[Claim 21
The image processing device according to Claim 1,
wherein the setting unit sets same information that
indicates that time direction management information for
managing an image of a time direction to be stored in the
decoded picture buffer when encoding the dependent image is
a same as the time direction management information of the
base image, and
wherein the delivery unit delivers the same information
that is set by the setting unit.
[Claim 31
The image processing device according to Claim 1,
wherein the setting unit sets the view direction
management information as an RPS.
[Claim 41
An image processing method,
wherein an image processing device comprises:
a setting step of setting view direction management
information for managing a base image of a base view, which
is stored in a decoded picture buffer when encoding a
dependent image of a dependent view;
an encoding step of generating encoded data by encoding
the base image and the dependent image; and
a delivery step of delivering the view direction
management information that is set in the setting step and
the encoded data that is generated in the encoding step.
[Claim 51
An image processing device, comprising:
a reception unit that receives view direction
management information for managing a base image of a base
view, which is stored in a decoded picture buffer when
decoding a dependent image of a dependent view, and encoded
data in which the base image and the dependent image are
encoded; and
a decoding unit that decodes the encoded data that is
encoded and manages the base image of the decoded picture
buffer based on the view direction management information.
[Claim 61
The image processing device according to Claim 5,
wherein the reception unit receives same information
that indicates that time direction management information
for managing an image of a time direction to be stored in
the decoded picture buffer when decoding the dependent image
is a same as the time direction management information of
the base image, and the time direction management
information of the base image, and
wherein the decoding unit manages an image of the time
direction to be stored in the decoded picture buffer using
the time direction management information of the base image.
[Claim 71
The image processing device according to Claim 5,
wherein the reception unit receives the view direction
management information as an RPS.
[Claim 81
An image processing method,
wherein an image processing device comprises:
a reception step of receiving view direction management
information for managing a base image of a base view, which
is stored in a decoded picture buffer when decoding a
dependent image of a dependent view, and encoded data in
which the base image and the dependent image are encoded;
and
a decoding step of decoding the encoded data that is
encoded and managing the base image of the decoded picture
buffer based on the view direction management information.
