CONSTRAINED TEMPLATE MATCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18680979 titled 'CONSTRAINED TEMPLATE MATCHING
The apparatus described in the patent application is designed to improve video coding efficiency by excluding samples from a template when they are part of an intra-coded block that is a spatial neighboring block of the current block.
- Processing circuitry determines if samples in a first template of a current block are in an intra-coded block that is a spatial neighboring block.
- If the samples are part of an intra-coded block and a template matching mode is applied, they are excluded to generate a second template for the current block.
- The motion vector of the current block is determined based on the second template, and the current block is reconstructed using this information.
Potential Applications: - Video compression technology - Multimedia streaming services - Video conferencing systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing video coding efficiency - Improving video quality in compressed formats - Reducing data transmission bandwidth requirements
Benefits: - Higher compression rates without sacrificing video quality - Reduced storage and bandwidth usage for video streaming - Enhanced user experience in multimedia applications

Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus includes processing circuitry that is configured to determine whether at least one sample of a plurality of samples in a first template of a current block is in an intra coded block that is a spatial neighboring block of the current block, the first template including one or more samples of (1) top neighboring blocks and (2) left neighboring blocks of the current block. The processing circuitry is configured to, when (i) the at least one sample is included in the intra coded block and (ii) a template matching mode is applied to the current block, exclude the at least one sample from the first template to generate a second template for the current block. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a motion vector of the current block based on the second template. The processing circuitry is configured to reconstruct the current block based on the MV.
