Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video encoding and decoding technologies face challenges in improving intra-prediction and inter-prediction efficiency, particularly in scenarios with low video correlation, and require more accurate motion vector precision and intra-prediction mode handling.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining whether a current block is merged with a neighbor block, obtaining motion information and weight prediction parameters, and adjusting motion vectors based on reconstructed pixels, while also correcting intra-prediction results by generating and encoding candidate modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If inter-prediction is used to achieve high prediction efficiency, then prediction accuracy improves, but the method becomes incorrect when correlation between videos is low (e.g., during fade-in or fade-out)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprediction reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically switches between inter-prediction and intra-prediction modes based on the correlation between reference video and current video. When correlation is high, inter-prediction is used for high efficiency; when correlation is low (e.g., during fade-in/fade-out), the system switches to intra-prediction to maintain reliability, thus resolving the contradiction between prediction accuracy and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The prediction method is made dynamic by allowing adaptive selection between different prediction modes (inter-prediction and intra-prediction) based on real-time correlation assessment. This dynamic adaptation enables the system to maintain both high prediction efficiency and reliability across varying video conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If more accurate motion information or precise intra-prediction mode is used to improve encoding efficiency, then prediction efficiency improves, but the amount of data to be transmitted increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding efficiencyVSAvoidoverhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different prediction modes and motion information precision at different locations (blocks) within a video frame based on local characteristics. This allows high encoding efficiency in regions with high correlation while reducing overhead in regions where simple prediction modes suffice, thus resolving the contradiction between encoding efficiency and overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The video is divided into blocks that can be processed independently with different prediction strategies. This segmentation enables selective application of high-precision motion information where needed and simpler prediction where sufficient, optimizing the balance between encoding efficiency and data transmission overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
