SEGMENTATION-BASED PARAMETERIZED MOTION MODELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521182 titled 'SEGMENTATION-BASED PARAMETERIZED MOTION MODELS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for decoding multiple global motion models associated with segments of a current frame from a compressed bitstream, and using these models to decode blocks of the frame.

  • Segmentation of current frame into segments with respective global motion models
  • Decoding inter-predicted blocks based on global motion models or different motion vectors
  • Efficient decoding process based on motion models and indications from compressed bitstream

Original Abstract Submitted

Multiple global motion models associated with respective segments of a current frame are decoded from a compressed bitstream. Each global motion model is based on a segmentation of the current frame and represents a respective underlying motion of blocks within a respective segment. Blocks of the current frame are decoded by: for each inter-predicted block of a segment, decoding, form the compressed bitstream, an indication of whether to decode the each inter-predicted block based on a global motion model of the multiple global motion models and associated with the segment, or whether to decode the each inter-predicted block based on a motion vector that is different from the global motion model; and decoding the each inter-predicted block based on the indication.
