ENCODER, A DECODER AND CORRESPONDING METHODS FOR MERGE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400754 titled 'ENCODER, A DECODER AND CORRESPONDING METHODS FOR MERGE MODE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for processing a block based on a merge candidate list, including constructing a list using motion information of neighboring blocks, obtaining prediction information of the current block, and using a uni-prediction candidate for inter prediction when sub-block prediction is applied.
- Constructing a list based on motion information of neighboring blocks
- Obtaining prediction information of the current block
- Using a uni-prediction candidate for inter prediction when sub-block prediction is applied
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in video coding and compression algorithms to improve the efficiency of inter prediction processes.
Problems Solved
This technology helps streamline the process of selecting prediction candidates for inter prediction, reducing the need for explicit generation of uni-prediction merge candidate lists.
Benefits
- Improved video coding efficiency - Simplified prediction candidate selection process
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be utilized in video streaming services, video conferencing applications, and any other systems that involve video compression and coding.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of motion estimation and compensation techniques in video coding to improve compression efficiency.
What are the specific criteria for constructing the first list based on motion information?
The specific criteria for constructing the first list based on motion information of neighboring blocks are not detailed in the abstract. Further information on the specific parameters and algorithms used for this construction would be helpful.
How does the technology handle cases where multiple prediction candidates are available for the current block?
The abstract does not mention how the technology handles cases where multiple prediction candidates are available for the current block. Understanding the selection criteria or decision-making process in such scenarios would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the method.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides methods and devices of processing a block according to a merge candidate list, the method comprising: constructing a first list according to motion information of neighboring blocks of a current block; obtaining prediction information of the current block; when the prediction information of the current block indicates that a sub-block prediction is applied to the current block, obtaining a uni-prediction candidate for the current block according to the first list; using, the uni-prediction candidate for the current block to perform inter prediction of the current block. According to embodiment of the present disclosure, the regular merge list can be directly used and there is no need to explicitly generate the uni-prediction merge candidate list for sub-block prediction.
