ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515944 titled 'ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The encoder described in the patent application encodes a video by performing operations on a plurality of pictures, including encoding a first picture and encoding parameter sets for subsequent pictures.

  • The encoder encodes a first picture among a series of pictures in the video.
  • The encoder then performs a first operation to encode a parameter set for a second picture that follows the first picture in coding order.
  • The encoder may also perform a second operation to encode the second picture without encoding the parameter set after encoding the first picture.
  • The first operation is performed when the second picture is a determined picture.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in video encoding systems, streaming services, video surveillance, and video editing software.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently encoding videos by optimizing the encoding process for a series of pictures.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved video encoding efficiency, reduced processing time, and enhanced video quality.

Potential Commercial Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

An encoder which encodes a video including a plurality of pictures includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry performs: encoding a first picture among the plurality of pictures; and performing (i) a first operation for encoding a parameter set for a second picture which follows the first picture in coding order among the plurality of pictures after encoding the first picture, and encoding the second picture after encoding the parameter set, or (ii) a second operation for encoding the second picture without encoding the parameter set after encoding the first picture. The circuitry performs the first operation when the second picture is a determined picture, in the performing of the first operation or the second operation.
