Title: Seong-mo Park: Innovator in Image Signal Processing
Introduction
Seong-mo Park is a notable inventor based in Daejon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of image signal processing, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of image coding and decoding techniques.
Latest Patents
Seong-mo Park's 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 includes a prediction reference value providing unit and a prediction calculation unit that outputs predictive coded or decoded values. This innovation reduces the size of the prediction apparatus 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 method compensates for the motion of current image data based on this median value. It also compares the motion compensation result with the maximum value of SAD values from previous data to determine whether to skip motion estimation or perform it.
