VIDEO CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS USING ANY TYPES OF BLOCK PARTITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523309 titled 'VIDEO CODING METHOD AND APPARATUS USING ANY TYPES OF BLOCK PARTITIONING

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is related to a block partitioning structure in video coding technology, as well as a video encoding and decoding method and apparatus using the same. The method involves acquiring quad-partitioning information of a block, acquiring bi-partitioning information of the block when the quad-partitioning information does not indicate four partitions, acquiring partitioning direction information for bi-partitioning when the bi-partitioning information indicates two partitions, acquiring information on whether to perform any other type of partitioning when the bi-partitioning information does not indicate two partitions, and acquiring additional information required for the any other type of partitioning when it is indicated that the any other type of partitioning is performed.

  • Acquiring quad-partitioning information of a block
  • Acquiring bi-partitioning information of the block when quad-partitioning information does not indicate four partitions
  • Acquiring partitioning direction information for bi-partitioning when bi-partitioning information indicates two partitions
  • Acquiring information on whether to perform any other type of partitioning when bi-partitioning information does not indicate two partitions
  • Acquiring additional information required for the any other type of partitioning when it is indicated that the any other type of partitioning is performed
