ENCODER, DECODER AND CORRESPONDING METHODS OF BOUNDARY STRENGTH DERIVATION OF DEBLOCKING FILTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396191 titled 'ENCODER, DECODER AND CORRESPONDING METHODS OF BOUNDARY STRENGTH DERIVATION OF DEBLOCKING FILTER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for encoding and decoding video by determining if two blocks in an image are predicted using a combined inter-intra prediction. If so, a boundary strength value is set and a deblocking filter is applied based on this value.

  • The method involves determining if two blocks in a video are predicted using a combined inter-intra prediction.
  • If the prediction is made, a boundary strength value is set for the boundary between the two blocks.
  • A deblocking filter is then applied based on the boundary strength value.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in video encoding and decoding systems to improve the quality of predicted blocks in images.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of maintaining image quality when predicting blocks in a video using a combined inter-intra prediction.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced video quality, particularly in areas where blocks are predicted using a combined inter-intra prediction.

Commercial Applications

  • Video encoding and decoding systems
  • Multimedia applications
  • Video streaming services

Questions about the Technology

How does this technology improve video quality?

This technology improves video quality by setting a boundary strength value for predicted blocks and applying a deblocking filter based on this value.

What are the potential applications of this technology beyond video encoding and decoding?

The potential applications of this technology could extend to multimedia applications and video streaming services, where maintaining image quality is crucial.


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses and methods for encoding and decoding a video are provided. The method includes determining whether at least one of two blocks of an image in a video is predicted with a combined inter-intra prediction (CIIP), where the two blocks include a first block (block Q) and a second block (block P). There is a boundary between the two blocks. The method further includes setting a boundary strength (Bs) for the boundary to a first value when at least one of the two blocks is predicted with the CHIP, and performing deblocking filter based on the Bs.
