ENHANCED RESOLUTION GENERATION AT DECODER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177942 titled 'ENHANCED RESOLUTION GENERATION AT DECODER
The abstract of the patent application describes a device with a decoder that includes various engines for spatial and temporal prediction, reconstruction, and picture buffering. The device can operate in base resolution mode to reconstruct a base resolution version of a frame block using prediction engines, and in enhanced resolution mode to generate an enhanced resolution version of the block.
- Decoder with spatial prediction engine, temporal prediction engine, reconstruction engine, and decoded picture buffer.
- Controller to switch between base resolution mode and enhanced resolution mode.
- Reconstruction engine used to reconstruct base resolution and enhanced resolution versions of frame blocks.
- Spatial prediction engine and temporal prediction engine utilized in both resolution modes.
- Decoded picture buffer stores decoded frames for display.
Potential Applications: - Video compression technology - Image processing applications - Multimedia streaming services
Problems Solved: - Efficient video compression - Enhanced image quality - Seamless multimedia streaming experience
Benefits: - Reduced bandwidth usage - Improved image quality - Smooth multimedia playback
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Video Compression Technology for Multimedia Streaming Services This technology can be used in: - Video streaming platforms - Video conferencing applications - Digital signage solutions
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device switch between base resolution mode and enhanced resolution mode? 2. What are the key advantages of using both spatial and temporal prediction engines in video compression?
Original Abstract Submitted
A device includes a decoder that includes a spatial prediction engine, a temporal prediction engine, a reconstruction engine, and a decoded picture buffer. The device also includes a controller configured to cause the decoder to, in a base resolution mode, reconstruct a base resolution version of a block of a frame using the reconstruction engine and at least one of the spatial prediction engine or the temporal prediction engine. The controller is also configured to cause the decoder to, in an enhanced resolution mode, generate an enhanced resolution version of the block using the reconstruction engine and the at least one of the spatial prediction engine or the temporal prediction engine.
