video sequence compression a technique for performing compression coding on video is called video sequence compression.
a video sequence is generally characterized in having spatial redundancy or temporal redundancy.
multi-view video sequence belonging to one of fields for 3-dimensional (3D) video processing that provides multi-views to a user using at least one or more cameras.
a multi-view video sequence Since a multi-view video sequence has high correlation between views, it is able to remove overlapped information via spatial prediction between a plurality of views. So, various compression techniques are needed to efficiently perform prediction between a plurality of views.
An object of the present invention is to raise efficiency in signal processing.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of predicting coding information of a signal, by which the signal can be efficiently processed.
a further object of the present invention is to provide a method of predicting motion information, by which a video signal can be efficiently coded.
the present invention is able to predict a view-direction motion vector of the current unit using the temporal-direction motion vector. Since the temporal-direction motion vector refers to an image on a different time zone at the same view, it is able to almost predict the temporal-direction motion vector precisely unless dept of each object varies according to elapse of time. More precise prediction is enabled by predicting coding information for a current unit using coding information for other units neighbor to the current unit, by which a corresponding error transmission amount is reduced. So, it is able to perform efficient coding. And, it is also able to perform efficient coding by predicting the coding information for the current unit using coding information for a view direction of a reference unit associated with temporal directions of the neighbor units.

a signal processing method includes searching a correlated unit having a highest correlation on a first domain for a current block, obtaining coding information for the correlated unit, and predicting coding information for a second domain of the current block using the obtained coding information.
a signal processing method includes searching a correlated unit on a first domain using a block neighbor to a current block, obtaining coding information for the correlated unit, and predicting coding information for a second domain of the current block using the obtained coding information.

a signal processing unit includes obtaining motion information between a current unit and a neighbor unit on a first domain, obtaining a correlated block corresponding to a current block included in the current unit based on the obtained motion information, obtaining motion information of the correlated unit on a second domain, and deriving motion information corresponding to the second domain of the current unit using the obtained motion information for the second domain.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a video signal decoder according to the present invention.
the decoder mainly includes a parser unit 100 , an entropy decoding unit 200 , an inverse quantization/inverse transform unit 300 , an intra-prediction unit 400 , a deblocking filter unit 500 , a decoded picture buffer unit 600 , an inter-prediction unit 700 , and the like.
the inter-prediction unit 700 includes an IC offset prediction unit 710 , an illumination compensation unit 720 , a motion compensation unit 730 , and the like.
the parser unit 100 performs parsing by NAL unit to decode a received video sequence. Generally, at least one or more sequence parameter sets and at least one or more picture parameter sets are transferred to a decoder before a slice header and slice data are decoded. In this case, various kinds of configuration information can be included in a NAL header area or an extended area of a NAL header.
MVC is an additional technique for the conventional AVC technique, it would be more efficient to add various kinds of configuration informations just in case of an MVC stream rather than add them unconditionally. For instance, flag information for discriminating a presence or non-presence of the MVC stream can be added to the NAL header area or the extended area of the NAL header. Only if an inputted bit stream corresponds to a multi-view video coded bit stream according to the flag information, it is able to add configuration informations for the multi-view video.
the configuration informations can include temporal level information, view level information, inter-view picture group identification information, view identification information, and the like.
the parsed stream is entropy-decoded by the entropy decoding unit 200 .

the inverse quantization/inverse transform unit 300 obtains a transformed coefficient generated from multiplying a received quantized value by a predetermined constant and then reconstructs a pixel value by inverse-transforming the coefficient.
the intra-prediction unit 400 performs intra-screen prediction from a decoded sample within a current picture using the reconstructed pixel value. Meanwhile, the deblocking filter unit 500 applies the reconstructed pixel value to each coded macroblock to reduce block distortion.
a filter improves an image quality of a decoded picture by smoothening an edge of block. Selection of a filtering process depends on a boundary strength and a gradient of an image sample around the boundary. Pictures having undergone the filtering are outputted or stored in the decoded picture buffer unit 600 .
the decoded picture buffer unit 600 plays a role in storing or opening the previously coded pictures to perform inter-picture prediction.
‘frame_num’ and POC (picture order count) of each picture is used to store the corresponding picture in the decoded picture buffer unit 600 or open the corresponding picture.
the inter-prediction unit 700 can use the reference pictures managed in the above manner.
the inter-prediction unit 700 performs inter-picture prediction using the reference picture stored in the decoded picture buffer unit 600 .
An inter-coded macroblock can be divided into macroblock partitions. And, each of the macroblock partitions can be predicted from one or two reference pictures.
the inter-prediction unit 700 includes the IC offset prediction unit 710 , the illumination compensation unit 720 , and the motion compensation unit 730 .
the illumination compensation unit 720 performs illumination compensation. In performing the illumination compensation, it is able to use flag information indicating whether to perform the illumination compensation on a predetermined layer of a video signal.
the illumination compensation is able to perform the illumination compensation using flag information for indicating whether to perform the illumination compensation on a corresponding slice or a corresponding macroblock.
flag information for indicating whether to perform the illumination compensation on a corresponding slice or a corresponding macroblock.
it is applicable to various macroblock types (e.g., inter 16 ⁇ 16 mode, B-skip mode, direct mode, etc.).
the motion compensation unit 730 compensates motion of a current block using informations transmitted by the entropy decoding unit 200 .
the motion compensation unit 730 extracts motion vectors of blocks neighbor to a current block from a video signal and obtains a predicted motion vector value of the current block.
the motion compensation unit 730 then compensates for a motion of the current block using the obtained predicted motion vector value and an offset vector extracted from the video signal.
This motion compensation can be performed using a single reference picture or a plurality of pictures.
multi-view video coding if a current picture refers to pictures at another view, it is able to perform the motion compensation using information for a reference picture list for inter-view prediction stored in the decoded picture buffer unit 600 . And, it is also able to perform the motion compensation using view information for identifying a view of the corresponding picture.
a direct prediction mode is a coding mode for predicting motion information for a current block from motion information for a coded block. This method improves compression efficiency because the number of bits necessary to encode motion information can be saved.
a temporal direct mode predicts motion information for a current block using motion information correlation in a temporal direction. The temporal direct mode is effective when a speed of a motion in a sequence that includes different motions.
a spatial direct mode predicts motion information for a current block using motion information correlation in a spatial direction. The spatial direct mode is effective when a speed of a motion varies in a sequence including identical motions.
the inter-predicted pictures and the intra-predicted pictures through the above process are selected according to a prediction mode to reconstruct a current picture.
FIG. 2 is a diagram for a method of predicting coding information for a current unit according to one embodiment of the present invention.
a unit used in the present invention can include the meanings of block, sub-block, macroblock, slice, picture, frame, picture group, sequence and the like in being applied to a video signal. So, the meaning of the unit should be construed as that of each application example. Moreover, in applying the unit to another signal as well as a video signal, the unit can be construed as a different meaning suitable for the corresponding signal.
each unit can exist in a first or second domain.
the first domain corresponds to a temporal domain
the second domain corresponds to a spatial domain.
the respective units can exist on axes in a temporal direction or a spatial direction (for example, view direction, etc). So, some units can obtain prediction information in the temporal direction only or other units can obtain prediction information in the spatial direction only. Also, some units can obtain prediction information in both the temporal direction and the spatial direction. In case of predicting coding information in the temporal direction, if a reference unit exists on a different time zone at the same view, each of the units has a temporal-direction motion vector.
each of the units has a spatial-direction motion vector.
This vector may be called a disparity vector.
a motion vector includes a concept of the temporal-direction motion vector and a concept of the spatial-direction motion vector.

a temporal-direction motion vector is given to a current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇
it is able to predict a view-direction motion vector of the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ using the temporal-direction motion vector. For instance, it is able to find a unit M ⁇ circle around ( 3 ) ⁇ indicated by the temporal-direction motion vector from a unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ (e.g., reference unit) having highest correlation with the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ .
the unit MO has a view-direction motion vector mv ⁇ circle around ( 3 ) ⁇ _f, it is able to predict it as a view-direction motion vector of the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ . Since the temporal-direction motion vector indicates to an image on a different time zone of the same view, it is able to almost accurately predict the view-direction motion vector unless depths of objects considerably vary according to lapse of time.
a view-direction motion vector is given to a current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ , it is able to predict a temporal-direction motion vector of the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ using the view-direction motion vector. For instance, it is able to find a unit M® indicated by the view-direction motion vector from a unit ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ (e.g., reference unit) having highest correlation with the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ .
a unit M® indicated by the view-direction motion vector from a unit ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ (e.g., reference unit) having highest correlation with the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ .
the unit M ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ has a temporal-direction motion vector mv ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ ′_b, it is able to predict it as a temporal-direction motion vector of the current unit ⁇ circle around ( 1 ) ⁇ . Since the view-direction motion vector indicates to an image on the same time zone of a different view, a temporal motion of a specific object will be almost similar for each camera. So, it is able to almost accurately predict the temporal-direction motion vector.
a start position of the unit (correlated unit ⁇ circle around ( 3 ) ⁇ or correlated unit ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ ) indicated by the motion vector may not coincide with a start position of a 4 ⁇ 4 block generated from equally dividing a macroblock, to which each unit belongs), by 4 ⁇ 4. If so, it is able to predict motion information in a manner of finding a closest 4 ⁇ 4 lock and then bringing motion information for the block or in a manner of averaging motion informations for blocks overlapped with the correlated unit ⁇ circle around ( 3 ) ⁇ or the correlated unit ⁇ circle around ( 4 ) ⁇ . Thus, using this method, it is able to predict motion information for each unit on the first or second domain.
it is able to predict motion information for a current unit using information for units neighbor to the current unit.
a unit-T a unit, which will have prediction information in a temporal direction only
a unit-V a unit, which will have prediction information in a view direction only
the unit-T needs to have a temporal-direction motion vector only
the unit-V needs to have a temporal-direction motion vector only.
the unit-T or the unit-V may be intra-coded. If a current block is intra-coded in the unit-V, it is able to predict a view-direction motion vector of the current block using view-direction motion vectors of neighbor blocks.
a current block of the unit-T is intra-coded, it is able to predict a temporal-direction motion vector using a temporal-direction motion vector of a neighbor block. And, it is able to set a temporal-direction motion vector of the current block to the predicted temporal-direction motion vector.
a unit-T/V it will have a single time or view direction motion vector for each block only.
the method of performing prediction through neighbor units can be carried out in a manner of taking a median of three neighbor units or an average of nine neighbor 4 ⁇ 4 units.
an approximate unit in the vicinity of a portion indicated by a motion vector of a current unit is able to use an approximate unit in the vicinity of a portion indicated by a motion vector of a current unit as a correlated unit of a current unit. In this case, if is able to perform more accurate prediction using a position difference vector between the correlated unit and the approximate unit.
an 8 ⁇ 8 block position in a normalized lattice structure of a correlated unit can be matched.
reference index information for each 8 ⁇ 8 block of a corresponding macroblock is usable.
motion information can be brought for each 4 ⁇ 4 block.
motion information is provided by 4 ⁇ 4 block unit, in case of attempting to obtain this information, it is able to match normalized 4 ⁇ 4 lattice block positions in correlated unit. In this case, it is able to obtain motion information from the corresponding 4 ⁇ 4 block. If mapping is carried out to 16 ⁇ 16 macroblock position in a normalized lattice structure of a correlated unit, all information for a corresponding macroblock can be brought. For instance, it is able to bring information for a block type, a reference index, a motion vector, and the like.
a lattice structure such as a pixel scale, a 4 ⁇ 4 block scale, an 8 ⁇ 8 block scale, a 16 ⁇ 16 block scale and the like can be taken into consideration.
a method of approximation to a left upper end pixel of a unit including an initial position point to which a left upper corner pixel of a current unit is mapped.
approximation can be carried out to a left upper end pixel position of a unit at one side. In this case, it is able to select a unit at a left upper end, a right upper end, a left lower end or a right lower end.
mapping can be carried out to a position point nearest to an initially mapped position. For instance, in case of attempting to perform mapping by 8 ⁇ 8 block scale, mapping to a nearest position point can be performed by measuring a distance from a left upper end pixel position of each 8 ⁇ 8 block.
a skip mode means that information for a different unit coded prior to a current unit is utilized as information for the current unit. In applying the skip mode, information existing on different domains are usable. Details of the corresponding embodiments are explained as follows.
the motion skip information may be located at a macroblock layer. For instance, the motion skip information is located in an expanded area of a macroblock layer to inform whether motion information is brought from a bit stream in a decoder side.
the same scheme is usable in a manner of switching first and second domains.
an object (or background) within a view Vb at a time Tb and an object (or background) within a view Va neighbor to the view Vb at the time Tb may have motion informations similar to each other.
motion information for a corresponding block at another view on the same time zone is brought to use intact, high coding efficiency is available.
motion skip information indicating whether this scheme is used is usable.
the first example is named an inter-view motion skip and the second example is named a temporal motion skip.
the correlated unit it is able to use a unit located at the same position as the position of the current unit among units existing on a domain different from that of the current unit.
a block located at a same position as the position of the current block, existing at a different view on a same time zone is usable as a correlated block.
temporal motion skip mode a block, located at a same position as the position of the current block, existing at a same view on a different time zone is usable as a correlated block.
the correlated block is found, it is able to predict motion information for the current block using the motion information for each correlated block. If the correlated block dies not have motion information, the motion skip mode may not be applicable.
the above-explained method of finding the correlated unit can be intactly extended as a method of finding a correlated unit for a smaller or larger unit.
flags can be separately managed to identify which one of the two kinds of the skip modes is used.
an inter-view skip mode can be represented as inter_view motion_skip_flag and a temporal skip mode can be represented as temporal motion skip flag.
neighbor units to a current unit should refer to a unit existing on a different time zone at a same view. If any one of the neighbor units fails to meet this condition, the inter-view motion skip mode may not be applicable.
the motion information in the temporal direction is usable.
the temporal motion skip mode is applicable in a similar manner. Namely, neighbor units to a current unit should refer to a unit existing at a different view on a same time zone. If any one of the neighbor units fails to meet this condition, the temporal motion skip mode may not be applicable.
the motion information in the view direction is usable.
a syntax element ‘motion_skip_enable’ is usable. If ‘motion_skip_enable’ is 1, an inter-view motion skip mode is applied. If ‘motion_skip_enable’ is 0, a temporal motion skip mode is applied. And, it is able to represent whether a motion skip mode is applied to a corresponding macroblock though ‘motion_skip_flag’ for each macroblock. A position of this flag may correspond to an extended area of a macroblock layer.
a temporal motion skip mode is applied. If the predicted reference unit exists on a temporal axis, an inter-view motion skip mode is applicable. This can be known to a decoder side. So, one ‘motion_skip_flag’ is enough.
a mode can be decided according to a method of predicting motion information from neighbor units. For instance, after a decoder side has parsed motion_skip_flag, if a motion skip mode is applied, it is able to predict motion information from neighbor units.
the predicted reference unit is a unit at a different view on a same time zone, it is able to apply a temporal motion skip mode. If the predicted reference unit is a unit existing at a same view on a different time zone, it is able to apply an inter-view motion skip mode.
a spatial direct prediction mode as a method of obtaining motion information to find a correlated unit from neighbor units, it is able to derive a reference index and a motion vector.
a third embodiment it is able to use one of the two kinds of motion skip modes only.
one ‘motion_skip_flag’ is necessary only.
neighbor units to a current unit should refer to a unit at a same view on a different time zone. If any of the neighbor units fails to meet this condition, the inter-view motion skip mode may not be applicable.
the reference unit in a view direction has been found from motion information for neighbor units, if the reference unit has motion information in a temporal direction, it is able to use the motion information in the temporal direction.
This scheme can be similarly applied to the case of applying the temporal motion skip mode.
an inter-view motion skip mode if motion information for a correlated unit is not the motion information for a view direction, the algorithm may not be applied. And, it is also able to derive a motion vector using a proportional formula according to a time difference between a current unit and a correlated unit or a time difference between a correlated unit and a reference unit of the correlated unit.
a temporal motion skip mode if motion information for a correlated block is not the motion information in a temporal direction, the above algorithm may not be applied.
a motion vector using a proportional formula according to an inter-view geometrical or topological distance between a current unit and a correlated unit or between a correlated unit and a reference unit of the correlated unit. For instance, let's assume that real cameras are located on a straight line in order of V 0 , V 1 and V 2 . It is assumed that a current unit is located at V 1 . It is assumed that a correlated unit is located at V 0 . And, it is assumed that a reference unit of the correlated unit is located at V 2 . In this case, a size of each component of a motion vector of the correlated block is set to 1 ⁇ 2 to use. If a distance between real cameras is given, it is able to derive a motion vector by considering an actual distance. Moreover, even if cameras are not located on a straight line, a geometrical or topological distance is usable.
a discrimination between views can be known through view identification information. And, a unit discrimination on a temporal axis can be known through POC (picture order count), frame number or the like.
POC picture order count
it is unable to find a correct unit between different views using a reference index only. If a rearrangement process of reference units takes place differently between views, a unit indicated by a reference index at one view and a unit indicated by a reference index having an identical value at a different view may not be correspondent to each other.
an identical reference index at a view Va may correspond to a unit ⁇ circle around ( 5 ) ⁇ existing at Va and Ta.
at least one of picture order count (POC), frame number, and/or view identification information may be needed instead of a reference index. It is able to finally find an identical reference by comparing at least one of picture order counts (POC), frame numbers and/or view identification informations of reference units on a reference list of a current unit.
the motion vector derived in the above manner is used as a predicted value and an actual motion vector is found. So, the corresponding difference is coded to use. In this case, it is able to refer to a more accurate position.
FIG. 3 is a diagram for a method of predicting a motion vector according to one embodiment of the present invention.
An encoder predicts motion information for a current block using motion information for a block neighbor to the current block and then transfers a difference between an actual motion vector and a predicted motion vector.
a decoder determines whether a reference picture number of a picture referred to by a current macroblock is identical to a reference picture number of a picture referred to by a neighbor block and then acquires a predicted motion vector value. For instance, if there exists one block having the same reference picture number of the current macroblock among the neighbor blocks, a motion vector of the neighbor block is used as it is. IN other cases, a median value of motion vectors of the neighbor blocks is used.
a reference picture can exist on a view axis as well as on a temporal axis. Due to this characteristic, if a reference picture number of a current macroblock differs from that of a neighbor block, it is highly probable that corresponding motion vectors may not have correlations with each other. If so, accuracy of a predicted motion vector value is considerably lowered. So, a new motion vector predicting method using inter-view correlation according to one embodiment of the present invention is proposed.
a motion vector generated between views may be dependent on depth of each object. If depth of sequence has not considerable spatial variation and if a motion of the sequence according to a variation on a temporal axis is not severe, depth at a position of each macroblock will not considerably vary. In this case, depth may mean information capable of indicating an inter-view disparity. Moreover, since influences of global motion vectors basically exits between cameras, if a global vector is sufficiently larger than a depth variation despite that a depth slightly varies, using the global motion vector may be more efficient than using a temporal direction motion vector.
a global motion vector may means a motion vector applicable to a predetermined area in common.
a global motion vector is the motion vector corresponding to a whole area including the partial area.
the whole area may correspond to a single slice, a single picture or a whole sequence.
the whole area may correspond to at least one object within a picture, a background or a predetermined area.
the global motion vector may be a value by a pixel unit, a 1/4 pixel unit, a 4 ⁇ 4 unit, an 8 ⁇ 8 unit or a macroblock unit.
the co-located block may mean a block neighbor to a current block existing in a same picture, or a block, located at a same position as the position of the current block, included in a different picture.
the co-located block may be a spatial co-located block in case of a different picture at a different view or a temporal co-located block in case of a different picture at a same view.
random access can be realized in a manner of providing pictures to be predicted in a view direction with a predetermined temporal interval only.
two pictures for predicting motion information in a view direction only are decoded, it is able to apply a new motion vector predicting method to pictures temporally existing between the two pictures. For instance, it is able to obtain a view-direction motion vector from a picture for view-direction prediction only.
the obtained vector can be stored by a 4 ⁇ 4 block unit. If an illumination difference is considerable in case of performing view-direction prediction only, intra-prediction coding frequently takes place. In this case, a motion vector can be set to 0. Yet, if coding by intra-prediction is frequently performed due to the considerable illumination difference, many macroblocks having unknown information for a view-direction motion vector are generated. To compensate this, in case of intra-prediction, it is able to calculate a virtual inter-view motion vector using a motion vector of a neighbor block. And, a motion vector of a block coded by the intra-prediction can be set to the virtual inter-view motion vector.
the two decoded pictures may be anchor pictures.
the anchor picture means an encoded picture that refers to slices in a frame on a same time zone only.
the anchor pictures means the encoded picture that refers to the slice at a different view but does not refer to a slice at a current view.
neighbor blocks do not have inter-view motion vectors, it is able to predict an inter-view motion vector of each partition using an average of inter-view motion vectors of a co-located 4 ⁇ 4 block in the decoded picture.
a motion vector of a current block can be predicted using Formula 1 and Formula 2.
‘M’ indicates a horizontal block size of each partition and ‘N’ indicates a vertical block size of each partition.
‘mv 0 ’ and ‘mv 1 ’ indicate motion vectors of forward and backward reference pictures among the decoded pictures, respectively.
each of ‘mv 0 ’ and ‘mv 1 ’ may indicate an inter-view motion vector of an anchor picture or a global motion vector of an anchor picture.
neighbor blocks have inter-view reference pictures, respectively, it is able to obtain a new predicted motion vector value from a median or average of the predicted inter-view motion vectors.
co-located blocks of pre-reference picture and post-reference picture of a current picture in a temporal or view direction are usable. For instance, inter-view motion vectors of 4 ⁇ 4 block are averaged to use.
the second method it is able to use an inter-view motion vector of a block indicated by a temporal-direction motion vector. This is to find an identical object and use a motion of the object. So, although a motion is large, even if depth of the object is not changed, it is able to predict an inter-view motion vector more accurately. In this case, since a position of a corresponding block, which is found using the temporal-direction motion vector, does not coincide with a 4 ⁇ 4 block unit exactly, motion information of nearest 4 ⁇ 4 block is used or motion information, to which a weight of a ratio of an area overlapped with the corresponding block is applied, is usable. Detailed embodiments for the methods are explained with reference to FIG. 4 as follows.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for a method of predicting a motion vector of a current block in correspondence to whether a reference picture of a neighbor block neighbor to the current block is in a view direction or a temporal direction according to one embodiment of the present invention.

a predicted motion vector value of the current block can be set to 0.
FIG. 4( b ) shows that every neighbor block refers to a temporal direction picture and a current block refers to a view direction picture.
the motion vector predicting method explained in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 is applicable.
a predicted motion vector value of the current block can be set to 0.
FIG. 4( c ) shows that when a current block refers to a temporal direction picture, two neighbor blocks refer to temporal direction pictures and the rest one refers to a view direction picture.
motion vectors of the two neighbor blocks referring to the temporal direction pictures are averaged to be used as a predicted motion vector value of the current block.
FIG. 4( d ) shows that when a current block refers to a view direction picture, two neighbor blocks refer to view direction pictures and the rest one refers to a temporal direction picture.
motion vectors of the two neighbor blocks referring to the view direction pictures are averaged to be used as a predicted motion vector value of the current block.
the motion vector predicting method explained in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 is applicable to the neighbor block referring to the temporal direction picture.
a median value or a weighted average value is obtained from the correspondingly obtained motion vector and the motion vectors of the two neighbor blocks to be used as a predicted motion vector value of the current block.

a corresponding block may be a block indicated by a view direction motion vector of a current block.
a view direction motion vector may means a vector representing inter-view disparity or a global motion vector.
the meaning of the global motion vector is explained in the foregoing description of FIG. 3 .
the global motion vector may represent a corresponding macroblock position of neighboring view on the same temporal instant. Referring to FIG. 5 , pictures A and B exist in time Ta, pictures C and D exist in time Tcurr, and pictures E and F exist in time Tb. In this case, the pictures A, B, E and F in the time Ta or Tb may be anchor pictures and the pictures C and D in the time Tcurr may be non-anchor pictures.
the pictures A, C and E exist at a same view Vn and the pictures B, D and F exist at a same view Vm.
the picture C is the picture to be decoded.
a corresponding macroblock (MB) of the picture D is the block indicated by a view direction global motion vector GDVcurr of a current block (current MB).
the global motion vector can be obtained by a macroblock unit between the current picture and a picture at a view neighbor to that of the current picture. In this case, information for the neighbor view can be known by the information indicating inter-view reference relation.
the information indicating inter-view reference relation means the information indicating what kind structure is used to predict interview sequences.
the information can be obtained from a sequence parameter set area.
the inter-view reference information can be obtained using the number of reference pictures and view information for the reference pictures.
the number of total views is obtained. And, view information discriminating each vie can be then obtained based on the number of the total views.
the number of reference pictures can be obtained for a reference direction of each view. It is able to obtain view information for each of the reference pictures according to the number of he reference pictures. In this manner, the inter-view reference information can be obtained. And, the inter-view reference information can be obtained according to a case of anchor picture and a case of non-anchor picture. This can be observed using anchor picture identification information indicating whether a coded slice in a current NAL is an anchor picture or not.
a method of obtaining the global motion vector may vary according to the anchor picture identification information. For instance, in case that a current picture is an anchor picture, it is able to obtain the global motion vector from a received bit stream. If a current picture is a non-anchor picture, the global motion vector can be derived from that of the anchor picture.
information indicating a temporal distance is usable together with the global motion vector of the anchor picture.
a global motion vector of a picture A is named GDVa
a global motion vector of a picture E is named DGVb
a global motion vector of a current picture C can be obtained using the global motion vectors of the pictures A and E (anchor pictures) and temporal distance information.
the temporal distance information may include POC (picture order count) that indicates a picture output sequence. So, the global motion vector of the current picture can be derived using Formula 3.
GDV cur GDV A + [ T cur - T A T B - T A ⁇ ( GDV B - GDV A ) ] [ Formula ⁇ ⁇ 3 ]
a block indicated by the derived global motion vector of the current picture can be regarded as a corresponding block to predict coding information for the current block.
All motion information and mode information for the corresponding block can be used to predict coding information for the current block.
the coding information can include such various information necessary for coding the current block as motion information, information for illumination compensation, weighted prediction information and the like.
a motion skip mode is applied to a current macroblock, instead of coding motion information for the current block, motion information for a previously coded picture at a different view can be used intact as motion information for the current block.
the motion skip mode includes a case of obtaining motion information for a current bock by depending on motion information for a corresponding block at a neighbor view.
a motion skip mode is applied to a current macroblock, all motion information for the corresponding block, e.g., macroblock type, reference index, motion vector, etc. can be used intact as motion information for the current macroblock.
the motion skip mode may not be applicable to the following cases.
a current picture is the picture at a reference view compatible with conventional codec or a current picture is an anchor picture.
the motion skip mode is applicable to a case that a corresponding block exists at a neighbor view and is coded in an inter-prediction mode.
motion information for a reference picture List 0 is preferentially used according to the inter-view reference information.
motion information for a reference picture List 1 is usable if necessary.
FIG. 6 is a diagram for a method of predicting coding information for a current block according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Coding information can be more accurately predicted using coding information correlation in a view direction.
coding information for a current picture will have great correlation with coding informations obtained from pre-reference picture and post-reference picture in temporal direction. So, more accurate prediction is available using theses characteristics. Detailed embodiments thereof are explained with reference to FIG. 6 as follows.
a horizontal axis indicates a temporal axis ( . . . , T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , . . . ).
a direction of a picture in a previous time is named a forward direction and a direction of a picture in a post time is named a backward direction, with reference to a current picture.
a vertical axis indicates a view axis ( . . . , V 1 , V 2 , V 3 , . . . ).
a direction of a picture at a previous view V 1 is named a forward direction
a direction of a picture at a post view V 3 is named a backward direction, with reference to a current picture.
the present invention it is able to predict view-direction motion informations using motion informations obtained from previous and post pictures of a current picture in a temporal direction.
This method can use mode information as well. For instance, by defining a motion information prediction mode, it is able to inform whether the motion information prediction mode shall be applied.
predicting view-direction motion informations of a current block it is able to use a co-located block located at a same position as the position of the current block among the pictures ahead of or behind the current picture in a temporal direction. After a temporal direction motion vector has been predicted from neighbor blocks to the current block, it is able to use a block indicated by the predicted motion vector.
the motion information prediction mode it is able to intactly use motion information for a block located at a same position as the position of the current block (or at a position indicated by a temporal direction motion vector) in a pre-picture R 1 or a post-picture R 2 of the current picture in the temporal direction.
predictive direction information, partition information, and a motion vector value can be used intact.
flag information indicating that this mode will be applied and a block texture offset value can be coded.
predictive direction information and partition information can be used intact.
motion vector values mv 1 , mv 2 , mv 3 and mv 4 of the co-located block are usable as predicted motion vector values mvpL 0 and mvpL 1 of the current block. So, in case that the motion information prediction mode is applied, flag information indicating that the corresponding mode will be applied, a motion vector offset value, and a block texture offset value can be coded.
the predictive direction information and the partition information for the current block in the former embodiment may not use the predictive direction information and the partition information for the co-located block (or the block at the position indicated by the temporal direction motion vector) as they are.
a motion vector value of the co-located block is used as a predicted motion vector value of the current block, while predictive direction information and partition information for the current block can be derived from blocks neighbor to the current block.
both of the predictive direction information and the partition information can be coded.
a method of predicting coding information for the current picture is explained. For instance, if forward prediction in a view direction is available for a current picture or if forward prediction in a view direction is available despite a plurality of reference pictures, a method of predicting coding information for a current picture is explained.
a method of predicting coding information for a current picture is explained.
it is assumed that there are forward and backward reference pictures Ra and R 2 in temporal direction. Coding information for a block at a correspondent position of the current block will be looked into. And, it will be looked into whether blocks at a correspondent position of the reference picture have a view-direction reference picture or a temporal-direction reference picture.
the current block may not use coding information for the blocks at the correspondent position of the reference picture. If one of the blocks at the correspondent position of the reference picture has a view-direction reference picture only, it is able to predict view-direction coding information for the current block using coding information for the corresponding block.
both of the forward and backward reference pictures R 1 and R 2 in temporal direction refer to a picture in view direction
coding information for the current block can be predicted from one of the two reference pictures only.
the coding information for one of the two reference pictures can be decided according to preset engagement. For instance, after partition information for the two reference pictures has been recognized, the partition information for the reference picture having a smaller partition can be used.
the partition information for the current block can be predicted from the partition information for the reference picture of which partition has a size smaller than that of the other.
FIG. 7 is a table for various examples to select either a forward reference block or a backward reference block to predict partition information for a current block if both of the forward and backward reference blocks in a temporal direction refer to a block in a view direction according to one embodiment of the present invention.
partition informations of a plurality of reference blocks If one of partition informations of a plurality of reference blocks is selected to predict partition information for a current block, it is able to use partition information for the reference block having a smaller partition among the partition informations of a plurality of the reference blocks. If the partition informations of the forward and backward reference blocks in temporal direction have the same partition information, it is able to predict the partition information for the current block as the same information. Yet, in case they have different information, a selection can be made.
partition information for a forward reference block in temporal direction indicates a direct mode and if partition information for a backward reference block is 16 ⁇ 16, 16 ⁇ 8, 8 ⁇ 16 or 8 ⁇ 8, partition information for a current block can be predicted as 16 ⁇ 16, 16 ⁇ 8, 8 ⁇ 16 or 8 ⁇ 8. If partition information for a forward reference block in temporal direction indicates 16 ⁇ 8 and if partition information for a backward reference block indicates 8 ⁇ 8, it is able to use a subdivided partition 8 ⁇ 8 as a predicted partition information value of a current block. If partition information for a forward reference block in temporal direction indicates 8 ⁇ 16 and if partition information for a backward reference block indicates 16 ⁇ 8, it is able to use a subdivided partition 8 ⁇ 8 as a predicted partition information value of a current block.
the examples for the partition information in FIG. 7 may not be applicable to the case of not attempting to use coding information for a block at a correspondent position.
view-direction coding information for a current block can be predicted using view-direction coding information for a corresponding block only. For instance, if partition information for a reference block and partition information for a current block are matched, a view-direction motion vector of a corresponding block can be used intact. In this case, if both forward and backward reference blocks exist, it is able to find a predicted motion vector value in a view direction by averaging view-direction motion vectors of corresponding partitions in both directions or applying a weight at a ratio of distance on a temporal axis. Alternatively, information in one direction can be used according to a given engagement.
partition information for a reference block and partition information for a current block are not matched, motion vectors within blocks are averaged to use. For instance, when partition information for a current block is 16 ⁇ 16 block, if a reference block is predicted as 16 ⁇ 8, an average of motion vectors of the two 16 ⁇ 8 reference blocks can be used as a predicted motion vector value of the 16 ⁇ 16 current block.
a vector in one direction is usable according to a given engagement.
forward and backward reference pictures R 1 and R 2 in temporal direction refer to pictures in view direction, like the above example, either the reference picture R 1 or the reference picture R 2 is usable. For instance, coding information for a current block is predicted using either the forward reference picture R 1 or the backward reference picture R 2 .
flag information can be used to indicate whether both of the two reference pictures R 1 and R 2 , the forward reference picture or the backward reference picture is used.
a method of predicting coding information for the current picture is explained. For instance, when forward prediction, backward prediction and bi-directional prediction in view direction are available, a method of predicting coding information for a current picture is explained. In this case, as mentioned in the foregoing description of the former embodiments, the same manner is applicable.
coding information for a current block can be predicted from coding information for one of the two reference pictures only.
coding information for one of the two reference pictures can be decided according to preset information. For instance, in case of predicting predictive direction information of the coding information, predictive direction information for the two reference pictures is obtained and predictive direction information for the reference picture capable of including them is then usable. Detailed embodiment is explained with reference to FIG. 8 .
FIG. 8 is a table for various examples to select either a forward reference block or a backward reference block to predict prediction direction information for a current block if both of the forward and backward reference blocks in a temporal direction refer to a block in a view direction according to one embodiment of the present invention.
predictive direction information for the reference picture capable of including all of them among the predictive direction informations of a plurality of the reference blocks can be used. If predictive direction informations for forward and backward reference blocks in temporal direction have the same predictive direction information, predictive direction information for a current block can be predicted as the same information. Yet, in case of having different information, a selection can be made. For instance, if predictive direction information for a forward reference block in temporal direction indicates a forward direction in view direction and if predictive direction information for a backward reference block in temporal direction indicates a backward direction in view direction, predictive direction information for a current block can be predicted bi-directionally.
bi-directions capable of including them can be predicted as predictive direction information for a current block.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method of predicting coding information for a view direction of a current block according to one embodiment of the present invention.
inter-view coding information prediction mode information can be obtained from a video signal (S 910 ). If inter-view coding information prediction is applied by the prediction mode information, it is checked whether a reference block in temporal direction with reference to a current block has coding information for a view direction (S 920 ).
the reference block can be a co-located block located at a same position as the position of the current block.

the current block can predict the coding information for the current block using coding information for the blocks neighbor to the current block (S 930 ).
the reference block has the coding information for the view direction
various methods are applicable. For instance, it is checked how many reference blocks exist with the coding information for the view direction among the whole reference blocks (S 940 ). In case that a plurality of the reference blocks have the coding information for the view direction among the whole reference blocks, it is able to predict coding information for the current block using the coding information for the reference blocks. For instance, it is able to use partition information or predictive direction information for the reference block as partition information or predictive direction information for the current block according to a preset engagement (S 950 ). In case that one of the reference blocks has the coding information for the view direction, it is checked whether the reference block has coding information for a temporal direction (S 960 ).
the reference block does not have the coding information for the temporal direction, it is able to use the coding information for the view direction of the reference block as a predicted value of the coding information for the current block (S 970 ). If this information is not usable, it is able to obtain a predicted coding information value of the current block using coding information for blocks neighbor to the current block (S 930 ).
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a method of predicting coding information for a current block according to one embodiment of the present invention.
the coding information can include motion information, predictive direction information, partition information, illumination compensation information and the like.
the neighbor blocks can refer to a picture at a same view on a different time zone or a picture at a different view on a same time zone.
the neighbor blocks can refer to a picture at a different view on a different time zone as well. So, a method of using coding information for a neighbor block selectively according to whether a picture referred to by a current block is in a view direction or a temporal direction may be more effective. Since correlation between coding information in view direction and coding information in temporal direction is low, it is able to differently design a coding information predicting method in case of performing inter-view prediction. Detailed embodiments are explained with reference to FIG. 10 .
a horizontal axis indicates a temporal axis ( . . . , T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , . . . ).

a vertical axis indicates a view axis ( . . . , V 1 , V 2 , V 3 , . . . ).
a direction of a picture at a previous view V 1 is named a forward direction
a direction of a picture at a post view V 3 is named a backward direction, with reference to a current picture.
coding information for blocks A, B, C and D neighbor to a current block is usable to predict coding information for a view direction of the current block. For instance, in case that the neighbor block refers to a picture in a view direction, it is able to use coding information for the neighbor block as a predicted coding information value of the current block. In case that the neighbor block refers to a picture in a temporal direction, it is able to set the coding information for the neighbor block to 0. In case that predictive intra-coding is carried out on the neighbor block, the coding information for the neighbor block is not used or set to 0.
a block B neighbor to a current block refers to a picture R 3 in a temporal direction
a block at a position indicated by a motion vector of a block B neighbor to a current block is firstly found.
the block at the position indicated by the motion vector of the neighbor block B may not accurately coincide with one of the blocks within a normalized lattice structure of the reference picture R 3 . Namely, it may be overlapped with a plurality of blocks.
various embodiments are applicable to predict coding information for a view direction of the current block.
At least one block that refers to a picture in a view direction among the overlapped blocks it is able to use coding information for a block having a largest overlapped area. For instance, it is able to use a motion vector value for a view direction of the block having the largest overlapped area as a predicted motion vector value for a view direction of the current block. Alternatively, if at least tow areas are most widely overlapped with the same area, it is able to find an average or median of the largest overlapped blocks.

For instance, it is able to use coding information for a block that refers to a picture in a view direction among blocks overlapped with a block at a position indicated by a motion vector of a block neighbor to a current block. And, details using methods can be applied in the same manner of the above explanation.

it is able to predict coding information in a view direction by the above-explained method.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a method of predicting coding information for a view direction of a current block according to another embodiment of the present invention.
a block neighbor to a current block refers to a picture in a view direction (S 1110 ).
it is able to check the neighbor blocks in a predetermined order. For instance, a block (A) left to the current block is firstly checked, a block (B) above the current block is checked, a block (c) right to the upper block (B) is checked, and a block (D) left to the upper block (B) is then checked.
the left block (A) of the current block, the right block (C) of the upper block (B), and the left block (D) of the upper block (B) can be checked in sequence.
the neighbor block refers to a picture in a view direction according to the checking process, it is able to predict coding information for the current block using coding information for the view direction of the neighbor block (S 1120 ). Yet, if the neighbor block does not refer to the picture in the view direction, e.g., if the neighbor block is intra-coded, the coding information for the neighbor block is not used or set to 0 (S 1130 ).
the neighbor block does not refer to a picture in a view direction
the neighbor block if it refers to a picture in a temporal direction, it is able to search a reference block in the temporal direction (S 1140 ). And, it is able to check a part where the searched reference block is overlapped with blocks of the reference picture in the temporal direction. In this case, it is able to check whether there exists a block that refers to a picture in a view direction among the overlapped blocks (S 1150 ). If the overlapped block does not refer to the picture in the view direction, coding information for the overlapped block is not used or set to 0 (S 1160 ).
the overlapped block refers to the picture in the view direction
a method of applying a weight to each overlapped area is applicable. If bi-directional prediction coding in view direction is carried out on a block used in the overlapped area, the method explained in FIG. 10 is applicable to using coding information in each view direction.
