GENERATING A MOTION VECTOR PREDICTOR LIST - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420942 titled 'GENERATING A MOTION VECTOR PREDICTOR LIST

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a decoder that generates a list of motion vector predictor candidates to predict the motion vector associated with a current inter block by using previously decoded inter blocks.

  • The decoder obtains a current inter block and multiple previously decoded inter blocks.
  • Each inter block contains a motion vector with a resolution.
  • The decoder creates a list of motion vector predictor candidates by scanning a set of previously decoded inter blocks and deriving motion vector prediction candidates for each block.
  • The decoder then determines if a criterion is satisfied to predict the motion vector associated with the current inter block.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in video decoding systems, video streaming services, and video compression algorithms.

Problems Solved

This technology helps improve the accuracy of motion vector prediction in video decoding, leading to better video quality and compression efficiency.

Benefits

- Enhanced video quality - Improved compression efficiency - Better prediction accuracy

Potential Commercial Applications

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in video compression and decoding technologies may exist, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact real-time video streaming applications?

This technology can potentially improve the quality and efficiency of real-time video streaming, but further research and testing are needed to determine the extent of its impact.

What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in existing video decoding systems?

Integrating this technology into current video decoding systems may require software and hardware modifications, as well as compatibility testing with different video formats and codecs.


Original Abstract Submitted

A decoder can be configured to obtain a current inter block and a plurality of previously decoded inter blocks. Each inter block of the plurality of inter blocks can include a motion vector having a resolution. The decoder generates a list of motion vector predictor candidates that is used to predict the motion vector that is associated with the current inter block. Generating the list of motion vector predictor candidates can include defining a set of inter blocks that includes a number of previously decoded inter blocks; scanning the inter blocks in the set of inter blocks in a scanning order; and for each of the inter blocks in the set of inter blocks: deriving a motion vector prediction candidate using the motion vector of the inter block; and determining whether a criterion is satisfied.
