Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of information processing in video coding affects the fluency of video services, particularly in video coding and decoding processes, which impacts the user's viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a Position-Dependent Prediction Combination (PDPC) mode for predicting colour components in video data to reduce processing complexity by directly determining the difference between the colour component and the prediction value, rather than refining each prediction value, thereby optimizing video coding and decoding efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional video coding methods are used with detailed prediction value refinement, then prediction accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential difference information between the actual color component and the prediction value, rather than processing and transmitting the entire refined prediction value. By taking out only the residual difference, the system maintains prediction accuracy while significantly reducing processing complexity in both encoding and decoding operations.

2Reliability

If complex intra prediction processing is performed, then video coding performance is improved, but video fluency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo coding performanceVSAvoidvideo fluency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the difference (residual) between the actual color component and the prediction value, rather than performing complex processing on the entire prediction block. This extraction approach maintains coding performance by preserving the essential error information while dramatically reducing processing time, thereby improving video fluency without sacrificing coding efficiency.
