INTER PREDICTION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18093194 titled 'INTER PREDICTION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an inter prediction method for generating a prediction block in video coding.

• The method starts by generating a list of merge candidates for a block that needs to be predicted.
• From this list, motion information is derived for the block to be predicted.
• Based on the derived motion information, a prediction is performed on the block to generate a prediction block.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various video coding systems and applications, including:

• Video compression algorithms
• Video streaming services
• Video conferencing systems
• Video surveillance systems

Problems Solved

The inter prediction method addresses the following problems in video coding:

• Efficient prediction of video frames
• Reduction of data redundancy in video coding
• Improvement of video compression efficiency
• Enhancement of video quality in transmission and storage

Benefits

The use of this inter prediction method offers several benefits:

• Improved video compression efficiency, leading to reduced storage and bandwidth requirements
• Enhanced video quality by accurately predicting video frames
• Reduced data redundancy, resulting in more efficient video coding
• Better utilization of network resources in video streaming and video conferencing applications

Original Abstract Submitted

According to the present invention, an inter prediction method comprises the steps of: generating a merge candidate list for a block to be predicted, wherein the block is to correspond to a current prediction unit; deriving, on the basis of one of a plurality of merge candidates constituting the merge candidate list, motion information on the block to be predicted; and performing, on the basis of the derived motion information, a prediction on the block to be predicted so as to generate a prediction block corresponding to the current prediction unit.
