METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SIGNALING GRADUAL DECODING REFRESH PICTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532042 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SIGNALING GRADUAL DECODING REFRESH PICTURES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for signaling gradual refresh for encoding a set of pictures by an electronic device. The method involves identifying a first picture in the set as being associated with a gradual refreshed picture, storing a NAL unit type in the coded stream to identify the presence of the gradual refreshed picture, and storing an enable flag in the coded stream to identify the use of gradual refresh for encoding at least a subset of pictures in the set.

  • Identification of first picture as gradual refreshed picture
  • Storage of NAL unit type in coded stream
  • Storage of enable flag for gradual refresh encoding

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video encoding and streaming applications where gradual refresh of pictures is desired for improved visual quality and efficiency.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient encoding of pictures with gradual refresh 2. Improved visual quality in video streaming

Benefits

1. Enhanced visual quality in encoded pictures 2. Efficient use of gradual refresh for encoding 3. Improved user experience in video streaming applications

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing video streaming services, enhancing video conferencing platforms, improving video surveillance systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of similar techniques in video compression standards such as H.264 or H.265.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method compare to existing techniques for gradual refresh in video encoding?

The article does not provide a direct comparison to existing techniques for gradual refresh in video encoding.

What impact could this method have on the efficiency of video encoding and streaming processes?

The article does not discuss the potential impact of this method on the efficiency of video encoding and streaming processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for signaling gradual refresh for encoding a set of pictures performed by an electronic device is provided. The method identifies a first picture in the set of pictures as being associated with a gradual refreshed picture, and stores a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type in a coded stream associated with the first picture. The NAL unit type identifies a presence of the gradual refreshed picture. The method then stores, in the coded stream, an enable flag to identify a use of the gradual refresh for encoding at least a subset of pictures in the set of pictures.
