Abstract
An encoder for encoding an image signal, the encoder including processing circuitry that sets, as a block setting process and in case that a condition that an operating mode requires resource efficiency higher than that of a normal mode, a depth of block division with more limited variety of pixel sizes of coding units than that of the normal mode; performs cost calculation and divisional determination only with respect to coding units within the set depth; and skips cost calculation and divisional determination with respect to coding units outside the set first depth.
Claims10
An encoder for encoding an image signal comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- set, as a block setting process and in case that a condition that an operating mode requires resource efficiency higher than that of a normal mode, a depth of block division with more limited variety of pixel sizes of coding units than that of the normal mode;
- perform cost calculation and divisional determination only with respect to coding units within the set depth;
- and
- skip cost calculation and divisional determination with respect to coding units outside the set depth.
An encoding method for encoding an image signal, the method comprising:
- setting, as a block setting process and in case that a condition that an operating mode requires resource efficiency higher than that of a normal mode, a depth of block division with more limited variety of pixel sizes of coding units than that of the normal mode;
- performing, using processing circuitry, cost calculation and divisional determination only with respect to coding units within the set depth;
- and
- skipping cost calculation and divisional determination with respect to coding units outside the set first depth.
