ENCODING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREFOR, AND DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962245 titled 'ENCODING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREFOR, AND DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for video decoding that involves combining prediction results obtained from multiple prediction modes to predict a current block. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• The method determines whether a multi-prediction combination mode should be applied to the current block based on its area.
• If the multi-prediction combination mode is applied, the method determines the specific prediction modes to be used for the current block.
• The method generates multiple prediction blocks for the current block based on the selected prediction modes.
• Finally, the method determines a combined prediction block for the current block by combining the multiple prediction blocks using respective weights.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Video compression and encoding systems
• Video streaming services
• Video playback devices and software

Problems solved by this technology:

• Improved video decoding accuracy and efficiency
• Enhanced video compression and encoding performance
• Reduction of artifacts and distortions in decoded video

Benefits of this technology:

• Higher quality video decoding with reduced artifacts
• More efficient use of prediction modes for better compression
• Improved video streaming and playback experience

Original Abstract Submitted

A video decoding method includes determining, based on an area of a current block, whether a multi-prediction combination mode for predicting the current block by combining prediction results obtained according to a plurality of prediction modes is applied to the current block, when the multi-prediction combination mode is applied to the current block, determining the plurality of prediction modes to be applied to the current block, generating a plurality of prediction blocks of the current block, according to the plurality of prediction modes, and determining a combined prediction block of the current block, by combining the plurality of prediction blocks according to respective weights.
