METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE ENCODING AND DECODING USING LARGE TRANSFORMATION UNIT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06T9/00 H04N19/169 G06K9/36 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method of decoding an image comprises steps of: determining hierarchically structured encoding units for decoding an image, a prediction unit and a transformation unit; obtaining transformation coefficients from a bitstream through analysis and restoring encoded data of at least one prediction unit by performing entropy decoding, inverse quantisation and inverse transformation of the transformation coefficients obtained by analysis; performing intra-prediction or mutual prediction of the restored encoded data and restoring the encoded video.

EFFECT: high efficiency of compressing, encoding and decoding images.
