ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623698 titled 'ENCODER, DECODER, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD
- Simplified Explanation:**
An image encoder splits blocks into smaller units based on certain conditions without immediately writing the splitting information into a bitstream.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- First partitioning of a block based on proximity to an edge and block dimensions.
- Second partitioning of resulting blocks using a second partition mode.
- Prohibition of quad tree splitting under specific conditions.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be used in image and video encoding systems to improve compression efficiency and reduce data size.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently encoding images and videos by optimizing the partitioning process based on specific criteria.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced compression efficiency.
- Reduced data size.
- Improved image and video quality.
- Commercial Applications:**
This technology could be applied in various industries such as multimedia, telecommunications, and surveillance for efficient data storage and transmission.
- Questions about Image Encoding:**
1. How does the first partitioning mode impact the overall encoding process? 2. What are the specific conditions that prohibit quad tree splitting in the second partition mode?
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Researchers are continually exploring ways to enhance image and video encoding techniques for better compression and quality outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image encoder performs a first partitioning including using a first partition mode, without writing first splitting information indicative of the first partition mode into a bitstream, to split a first block into a plurality of second blocks in response to that the first block is located adjacent to an edge of a picture and that the dimensions of the first block satisfy a first condition; and performs a second partitioning on the second block by writing second splitting information indicative of a second partition mode into the bitstream, and using the second partition mode to split the second block into a plurality of coding units (CUs), wherein the second partition mode prohibits the quad tree splitting of the second block in certain conditions.
