Title: Innovations of Ig-kyun Kim
Introduction
Ig-kyun Kim is a notable inventor based in Daejon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of image signal processing, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include an "Apparatus for prediction coding or decoding image signal and method therefor." This invention provides a hardware structure for adaptively predicting coding an image signal using spatial correlation. The prediction coding apparatus features a packet change detection unit that determines whether blocks used for prediction direction are included in the same packet as the current block. Additionally, it has a prediction reference value providing unit and a prediction calculation unit that outputs predictive coded or decoded values based on the current block's DCT component. This apparatus reduces the size of prediction devices and allows for dual functionality in coding and decoding.
Another significant patent is the "Apparatus and method for performing mixed motion estimation based on hierarchical search." This invention involves receiving motion vectors from previous image data and obtaining their median value. The current image data is then compensated for motion based on this median value. The method includes comparing motion compensation results with SAD values to determine whether to skip motion estimation or perform it based on the results.
