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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18609817 titled 'INTER PREDICTION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

The abstract describes a method for inter-predication in video coding, involving generating a merging candidate list, deriving motion information, and performing predictions to generate a prediction block.

• Generating a merging candidate list for a block to be predicted and corresponding to a current prediction unit (PU).
• Deriving motion information of the block to be predicted based on one of the merging candidates.
• Performing a prediction on the block using the derived motion information to generate a prediction block for the current PU.

Questions about Inter-Predication Method: 1. How does the merging candidate list contribute to improving prediction accuracy? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method in real-time video processing systems?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in video coding standards such as H.264, H.265, and future developments in inter-prediction techniques for multimedia applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

An inter predication method is provided. The method includes: generating a merging candidate list of a block to be predicted and corresponding to a current prediction unit (PU); deriving motion information of the block to be predicted, on the basis of one of a plurality of merging candidates constituting the merging candidate list; and performing a prediction on the block to be predicted, on the basis of the derived motion information, to generate a prediction block corresponding to the current PU.
