Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the encoding parameters by introducing multiple prediction modes (simple inter-frame, linear model, and intra-frame prediction) and using rate distortion optimization to select the best mode for each block. This parameter variation enables adaptive compression that achieves better efficiency without requiring a complete redesign of the encoding system

Solution Approach 1:

Prediction values for multiple modes are pre-calculated for each encoding block before the final selection. This preliminary action allows the rate distortion optimization to quickly compare pre-computed values and select the best mode, reducing the time penalty of evaluating multiple prediction modes

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The rate distortion optimization mechanism provides feedback by calculating the distortion and bit rate for each prediction mode, then selecting the mode that minimizes the rate distortion cost function J=D+λ×R. This feedback-driven selection ensures high compression quality while avoiding exhaustive search through all possible modes
