VIDEO CODING AND DECODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18517772 titled 'VIDEO CODING AND DECODING

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves encoding a motion information predictor index for an Affine Merge mode by selecting a predictor candidate from a list and generating the index using CABAC coding.

  • Generating a list of motion information predictor candidates
  • Selecting one candidate as an Affine Merge mode predictor
  • Generating a motion information predictor index using CABAC coding
  • Bypass CABAC coding for one or more bits of the index

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of encoding a motion information predictor index for an Affine Merge mode, comprising: generating a list of motion information predictor candidates; selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as an Affine Merge mode predictor; and generating a motion information predictor index for the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, one or more bits of the motion information predictor index being bypass CABAC coded.
