The plurality of encoders respectively transmit encoded information including an encoded image obtained by encoding one image among the plurality of images obtained by partitioning a captured image, and time information corresponding to the one image. At least any one of the plurality of encoders transmits identification information for respectively identifying the plurality of images. A decoding apparatus includes a plurality of decoders. One decoder calculates a playback time for each of a plurality of images based on a scheduled playback time at which a real time according to a scheduled playback time of the plurality of images, which is calculated by each decoder, is later than a real time according to a scheduled playback time of the other images. Encoding with which synchronized partitioned video images can be transmitted in real time in a cost-effective IP network without needing devices such as a conversion device can be performed.

Encoding apparatus, decoding apparatus, encoding method, and decoding method

A master encoder obtains in time series one of divided images obtained by dividing an original image into a plurality of sections, obtains identification time for identification of the divided image obtained in time series, and notifies the slave encoder of the identification time, encodes the obtained divided image and generate an encoded divided image, and generates encoding transmission information including in time series encoding information including the encoded divided image and the identification time, and transmits the encoding information. A slave encoder obtains in time series any other than the one of divided image, obtains the identification time set for identification of the divided image from the master encoder, encodes the obtained divided image and generate an encoded divided image, and generates encoding transmission information including in time series encoding information including the encoded divided image and the identification time, and transmit the encoding information.

Encoding appartus, decoding apparatus, encoding method, and decoding method

A data transmitting device is for transmitting data including video image information that is inter-frame encoded. The data transmitting device includes an identification information inserting unit configured to insert, in the data to be transmitted by the data transmitting device, video image identification information for identifying the video image information included in the data; and a video image information inserting unit configured to insert the video image information in the data to be transmitted by the data transmitting device. The video image information inserting unit inserts in the data the video image information that has been inter-frame encoded, behind the video image identification information that has been inserted in the data by the identification information inserting unit.

Data transmitting device and data transmitting and receiving system

A data transmission system includes a packet missing state data storage unit that stores packet missing state data including distribution of the numbers of consecutive missed packets in a decoder and distribution of intervals of the packet missing in the decoder; an interleave unit determination processing unit that determines, based on the distribution of the numbers of consecutive missed packets, an interleave unit that represents the number of Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks, wherein the FEC block is a unit for which an FEC packet is generated; an FEC block determination processing unit that determines, based on the distribution of the intervals of the packet missing, the number of data packets included in the FEC block; and a packet communication processing unit that identifies, based on the determined interleave pattern data, a transmission order of the packets to the decoder.

Data transmission system, program and method

A decoding device includes a first receiving section for receiving a data packets, a second receiving section for receiving a plurality of error correction packets which includes matrix configuration information regarding the plural data packets, a deciding section for deciding a number of packets to be accumulated to restore a lost data packet, based on the matrix configuration information, an accumulating section for accumulating the data packets received by the first receiving section in the number of packets to be accumulated, and a restoring section for, when a loss of any of the data packets received by the first receiving section is detected, restoring the lost data packet by using at least one of the data packets and the error correction packets.

Decoding device, decoding method, and media data delivery system

When error correction data, which is to be inserted into transmission data at specific intervals, is generated by calculating exclusive-OR of the transmission data, cumulative exclusive-OR of the transmission data is continuously calculated independent of the error correction data insertion intervals. Exclusive-OR between a calculation of the exclusive-OR at the time of the previous error correction data insertion and a calculation of the exclusive-OR at the time of the current error correction data insertion is calculated, thereby generating error correction data to be inserted at the present time. This provides efficient error correction data calculation.
