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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400465 titled 'VIDEO ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a video encoding/decoding method that involves deriving spatial and temporal merge candidates, generating merge candidate lists, and creating a prediction block based on motion information.

  • The method includes deriving a spatial merge candidate based on neighboring blocks spatially adjacent to a current block.
  • The method also involves deriving a temporal merge candidate based on neighboring blocks temporally adjacent to the current block.
  • A first merge candidate list is generated based on the spatial and temporal merge candidates.
  • A history-based merge candidate is derived based on motion information of a block encoded before the current block.
  • A second merge candidate list is generated based on the first merge candidate list and the history-based merge candidate.
  • A prediction block of the current block is generated based on the second merge candidate list.

Original Abstract Submitted

A video encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. A video decoding method includes deriving a spatial merge candidate, based on neighboring blocks spatially adjacent to a current block. The method also includes deriving a temporal merge candidate, based on neighboring blocks temporally adjacent to the current block. The method also includes generating a first merge candidate list based on the spatial merge candidate and the temporal merge candidate. The method also includes deriving a history-based merge candidate, based on motion information of a block encoded before the current block. The method also includes generating a second merge candidate list, based on the first merge candidate list and the history-based merge candidate. The method also includes generating a prediction block of the current block, based on the second merge candidate list. The first merge candidate list and the second merge candidate list are generated based on a priority of motion information.
