STORING MISALIGNED REFERENCE PIXEL TILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838081 titled 'STORING MISALIGNED REFERENCE PIXEL TILES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for caching misaligned pixel tiles in a video coding system. Here are the key points:
- The method involves determining a first codec region and a first region of a frame.
- It checks whether pixels of a first version of a pixel tile were stored in a cache while coding blocks from a second codec region.
- Depending on whether the pixels were stored in the cache, it decides whether to read the first version of the pixel tile from the cache or retrieve a second version of the pixel tile from a memory device.
- The second version of the pixel tile includes pixels from the first codec region that are not present in the first version.
- Finally, a block is coded based on the version of the pixel tile read from the cache or retrieved from the memory device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Video coding and compression systems
- Real-time video streaming
- Video editing and post-production
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient caching of misaligned pixel tiles
- Reducing the need for frequent retrieval of pixel tiles from memory
- Improving video coding and compression performance
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster video coding and decoding processes
- Reduced memory access and bandwidth requirements
- Improved video quality and compression efficiency
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and techniques are provided for caching misaligned pixel tiles. A method includes determining a first codec region including a first region of a frame; determining whether pixels of a first version of a pixel tile were stored in a cache while coding blocks from a second codec region, the pixel tile corresponding to a location within the frame; based on whether the pixels were stored in the cache, determining whether to read the first version of the pixel tile from the cache or retrieve a second version of the pixel tile from a memory device, the second version of the pixel tile including pixels from the first codec region that are not in the first version of the pixel tile; and coding a block based on the first version of the pixel tile read from the cache or second version of the pixel tile retrieved from the memory device.
