ENHANCED RESOLUTION GENERATION AT DECODER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298016 titled 'ENHANCED RESOLUTION GENERATION AT DECODER
The abstract of the patent application describes a device with a decoder that includes various engines for spatial prediction, temporal prediction, and reconstruction, along with a decoded picture buffer. The device also includes a controller that can operate the decoder in both base resolution mode and enhanced resolution mode.
- Spatial prediction engine, temporal prediction engine, reconstruction engine, decoded picture buffer
- Controller for operating decoder in base resolution mode and enhanced resolution mode
- Reconstruction of base resolution version of a block of a frame in base resolution mode
- Generation of enhanced resolution version of the block in enhanced resolution mode
- Utilization of spatial prediction engine or temporal prediction engine in both modes
Potential Applications: - Video compression technology - Image processing applications - Multimedia streaming services
Problems Solved: - Efficient video encoding and decoding - Improved image quality in enhanced resolution mode - Reduced bandwidth requirements for multimedia streaming
Benefits: - Enhanced video quality in enhanced resolution mode - Reduced data consumption for streaming services - Improved user experience with high-quality multimedia content
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Video Compression Technology for Enhanced Multimedia Streaming Description: This technology can be utilized in video streaming services, video conferencing platforms, and multimedia content delivery networks to enhance video quality and reduce data consumption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine when to switch between base resolution mode and enhanced resolution mode? 2. What are the potential limitations of using spatial prediction and temporal prediction engines in the reconstruction process?
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.
