==IMAGE DECODER AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD CAPABLE OF BLENDING OPERATION BETWEEN PARTITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18532858 titled 'IMAGE DECODER AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD CAPABLE OF BLENDING OPERATION BETWEEN PARTITIONS

==Simplified Explanation==

The image decoder described in the patent application calculates values for different partitions in a block using motion vectors and weights the calculated values accordingly.

* The circuitry calculates values for a first partition in a block using a first motion vector.
* It calculates values for a second partition in the same block using a second motion vector.
* Values for a set of pixels between the first and second partitions are calculated using the first motion vector.
* Values for the same set of pixels are calculated using the second motion vector.
* The calculated values are then weighted, with the weights increasing along the row of pixels.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image decoder includes circuitry and a memory, wherein the circuitry, in operation, calculates first values of a first partition in a current block, using a first motion vector for the first partition; calculates second values of a second partition in the current block, using a second motion vector for the second partition; calculates third values of a set of pixels between the first partition and the second partition, using the first motion vector; calculates fourth values of the set of pixels, using the second motion vector; and weights the third values and the fourth values. A number of pixels in a row in the set of pixels is two or more, and two or more weights applied to the third values increase along the row.
