A method for encoding a video frame or picture comprises dividing up the video frame or the picture in portions of a first type associated with a first scanning pattern, and portions of a second type associated with a second scanning pattern. Data corresponding to a predetermined of the portions of the video frame or picture is transformed into a two-dimensional transform coefficient array. Fhe transform coefficients are precoded in order to obtain transform data units. One of a first and a second set of context models is chosen depending on as to whether the predetermined portion is a portion of a type being associated with the first or the second scanning pattern. One context model of the chosen one of the first and the second set of context models is assigned to the transform data unit based on the scanning position assigned to the predetermined transform coefficient. Finally, the transform data unit or a sub-unit thereof is arithmetically encoded into a coded bit stream based on the probability estimation with which the assigned context model is associated.

A video codec for real-time encoding / decoding of digitized video data with high compression efficiency, comprising a frame encoder receiving input frame pixels; a codec setting unit for setting and storing coding setting parameters; a CPU load controller for controlling desired frame encoding time and CPU loading; a rate controller for controlling frame size; a coding statistics memory for storing frequency tables for arithmetic coding of bitstream parameters and a reference frame buffer for storing reference frames. The frame encoder comprises a motion estimation unit, a frame head coding unit, a coded frame reconstruction and storage unit and a macroblock encoding unit. The macroblock encoding unit provides calculation of texture prediction and prediction error, transforming texture prediction error and quantization of transform coefficient, calculation of motion vector prediction and prediction error and arithmetic context modeling for motion vectors, header parameters and transform coefficients. The codec also includes a deblocking unit for processing video data to eliminate blocking effect from restored data encoded at high distortion level, which may be a part of encoder or decoder, an internal resize unit, providing matching downscaling of a frame before encoding and upscaling of decoded frame according to the coding setting parameters, and a noise suppression unit.

A method for determining a context for coding is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) generating a plurality of results by examining a prediction mode for each of a plurality of neighbor blocks to a current block in a bitstream for digital video, wherein at least one of the neighbor blocks is subpartitioned, (B) generating a plurality of first variables based on the results and (C) coding the bitstream using a binary arithmetic coding based on a particular context among a plurality of context determined from the first variables.
