IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H04N19/52 H04N19/597 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: image processing device for encoding an image with multiple views includes a predicted vector generating section for generating a predicted vector in a first time direction for use in encoding a motion vector (MV) of the current block in said first direction by scaling the MV of the reference block, which is a block in a position shifted from the position of the current block in the image, a difference vector derived from the motion vectors of neighbouring blocks adjacent to the periphery of the current block in the image relating to the non-basic form, in accordance with the distance between the reference number of the video frame for the current block and the reference block; MV coding section for encoding the MV of the current block using the predicted vector generated by the predicted vector generating section; and an encoding section for generating an encoded data stream by encoding an image in elements having a hierarchical structure; If the MV of the current block is unavailable in the first direction, the MV of the current block in the second direction is used instead of it.

EFFECT: decreasing the amount of encoding errors.
