Abstract

Un partitionnement de bloc en fonction de la profondeur classique (DBBP) représente un problème dans la mesure où la charge de traitement d'un traitement d'interpolation pour générer deux images d'interpolation, d'un traitement de dérivation de mode divisé pour dériver un mode divisé à partir d'une image de profondeur, et d'un traitement de combinaison pour combiner deux images complémentaires en fonction d'une segmentation, est grande. Le dispositif de génération d'image de prédiction de bloc de base de profondeur de la présente invention comporte une unité de dérivation de segmentation qui dérive des informations de segmentation à partir d'une image de profondeur, une unité d'interpolation d'image qui génère deux images à compensation de mouvement, et une unité de combinaison d'images qui combine les deux images d'interpolation et génère une image à compensation de mouvement. Le dispositif de génération d'image de prédiction de bloc de base de profondeur est caractérisé en ce que l'unité d'interpolation d'image génère les deux images à compensation de mouvement par prédiction bilinéaire. Le dispositif de génération d'image de prédiction de bloc de base de profondeur est également caractérisé en ce qu'un mode divisé est dérivé à partir des pixels aux quatre coins d'un bloc de profondeur. Le dispositif de génération d'image de prédiction de bloc de base de profondeur est également caractérisé en ce qu'une combinaison est effectuée par sélection de l'un des deux pixels d'interpolation dans chaque pixel d'un bloc. Le dispositif de génération d'image de prédiction de bloc de base de profondeur est également caractérisé en ce qu'une bi-prédiction n'est pas effectuée.
