ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526683 titled 'ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The encoder in this patent application determines whether to disable a prediction mode based on the width and height of a block, and encodes the block accordingly. The decision to disable the prediction mode is made if the width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or if the height-to-width ratio is at least 8.
- The encoder determines whether to disable a prediction mode based on the width and height of a block.
- The decision to disable the prediction mode is made if the width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or if the height-to-width ratio is at least 8.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in video encoding and compression algorithms to improve the efficiency of predicting block partitions.
Problems Solved
This technology helps optimize the encoding process by selectively disabling prediction modes for blocks based on their dimensions, leading to better compression ratios.
Benefits
- Improved compression efficiency - Enhanced video encoding performance
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized video encoding software for streaming services
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of block partitioning techniques in video encoding algorithms to improve compression efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted
An encoder determines, based on a width and a height of a block, whether or not to disable a prediction mode in which the block is split along a partitioning line defined by a distance and an angle and then prediction is performed; and encodes the block with the prediction mode disabled or not disabled according to a result of the determination on whether or not to disable the prediction mode. Here, the distance is the shortest distance between the center of the block and the partitioning line, and the angle is an angle representing a direction from the center of the block toward the partitioning line in the shortest distance. The encoder determines to disable the prediction mode when (i) a width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or (ii) a height-to-width ratio is at least 8.
