VIDEO ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18399310 titled 'VIDEO ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for encoding/decoding a video. The method for decoding a video includes generating an inter prediction block and an intra prediction block for a current block, deriving weighted values for the prediction blocks, and generating a combined inter/intra prediction block based on the weighted values.

  • Method for decoding a video:
    • Generating inter prediction block for a current block based on a reference block in a reference picture.
    • Generating intra prediction block for the current block based on the reference block and a first reference pixel adjacent to the reference block.
    • Deriving weighted values for the inter and intra prediction blocks.
    • Generating a combined inter/intra prediction (CIIP) block of the current block based on the weighted values, the inter prediction block, and the intra prediction block.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in video encoding and decoding systems, video streaming services, video conferencing applications, and multimedia communication platforms.

Problems Solved

1. Improved video quality through efficient prediction block generation. 2. Reduced distortion in video decoding by utilizing weighted values for prediction blocks.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

A method and a device for encoding/decoding a video are provided. A method for decoding a video according to the present disclosure includes generating an inter prediction block for a current block, based on a reference block that corresponds to the current block and exists in a reference picture. The method for decoding the video also includes generating an intra prediction block for the current block, based on the reference block and a first reference pixel adjacent to the reference block. The method for decoding the video also includes deriving weighted values assigned to the inter prediction block and the intra prediction block, based on not using the current block for distortion calculation. The method for decoding the video also includes generating a combined inter/intra prediction (CIIP) block of the current block, based on the weight values, the inter prediction block, and the intra prediction block.
