Video Coding Bitstream Extraction With Identifier Signaling - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494459 titled 'Video Coding Bitstream Extraction With Identifier Signaling

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a video coding mechanism that involves extracting a subset of sub-pictures from an input bitstream and decoding them based on sub-picture IDs.

  • Mechanism involves receiving an extracted bitstream resulting from a sub-bitstream extraction process from an input bitstream containing sub-pictures.
  • Extracted bitstream contains only a subset of sub-pictures, with a flag indicating the presence of sub-picture information.
  • Sub-picture IDs for the subset are obtained based on the flag, and the subset is decoded using these IDs.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video streaming services, video conferencing systems, and multimedia content delivery platforms.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient video coding by extracting and decoding only necessary sub-pictures. 2. Reducing bandwidth usage by transmitting only relevant sub-picture information.

Benefits

1. Improved video compression and transmission efficiency. 2. Enhanced video quality by focusing on specific sub-pictures. 3. Faster decoding process due to selective extraction of sub-pictures.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing video streaming services for better user experience and reduced data consumption.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of selective sub-picture extraction in video coding processes to improve efficiency and reduce data redundancy.

Unanswered Questions

How does this mechanism handle error correction in the extracted subset of sub-pictures?

The patent application does not provide details on error correction mechanisms for the extracted subset of sub-pictures. Additional information on error handling processes would be beneficial for understanding the robustness of the technology.

What is the impact of this mechanism on overall video coding and decoding speed?

The patent application does not address the potential impact of this mechanism on the speed of video coding and decoding processes. Understanding the performance implications of this technology in terms of processing speed would be valuable for assessing its practicality in real-time applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving an extracted bitstream that is a result of a sub-bitstream extraction process from an input bitstream containing a set of sub-pictures. The extracted bitstream contains only a subset of the sub-pictures of the input bitstream to the sub-bitstream extraction process. A flag from the extracted bitstream is set to indicate that sub-picture information related to the subset of the sub-pictures is present in the extracted bitstream. One or more sub-picture identifiers (IDs) for the subset of the sub-pictures are obtained based on the flag. The subset of the sub-pictures is decoded based on the sub-picture IDs.
