Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic model selection that adapts between linear and non-linear prediction models based on coding parameters such as block size and quantization parameters. This dynamic approach allows the system to use complex non-linear models only when necessary (for larger blocks or specific quantization scenarios) while using simpler linear models for other cases, thereby resolving the contradiction between prediction accuracy and computational complexity

AI summary

A video decoder may determine, based on comparing a coding parameter associated with a chroma block with a threshold, one or more candidate models from a first type of models and a second type of models. The decoder may select a chroma prediction model from the one or more candidate models and generate a prediction of the chroma block based on reference signals of the chroma block and the chroma prediction model. The decoder may determine a reconstruction of the chroma block based on the prediction of the chroma block and a residual of the chroma block
