Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If conventional video coding techniques are used for intra block, intra block copy, and chroma block conversions, then the coding process is simple, but the coding gain and efficiency are suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies cross-component residual modeling by changing the parameters and model types used in video coding. Specifically, it uses linear models with slope adjustment parameters and offset parameters to transform the coding approach, improving coding efficiency by better capturing chroma-luma correlations without excessively increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the video coding process by applying different modeling approaches to different block types (intra blocks, intra block copy blocks, chroma blocks). This segmentation allows optimized processing for each block type while maintaining overall system manageability and complexity control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If conventional video coding techniques are used, then the implementation is straightforward, but the coding performance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding performanceVSAvoidfilter term complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using slope adjustment parameters that are specifically tailored for different regions and block types. The filter terms and model types are locally optimized for intra blocks, intra block copy blocks, and chroma blocks, improving coding performance by capturing local chroma-luma correlations more accurately

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary elements such as slope adjustment parameters and offset parameters that mediate between luma and chroma components. These intermediaries enable more precise modeling of the relationship between different color components, thereby improving coding performance without directly increasing the complexity of the core coding structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a solution for video processing. A method for video processing is proposed. The method includes: determining, for a conversion between a video unit of a video and a bitstream of the video, that a cross-component model is used for at least one of the followings associated with the video unit: an intra block, an intra block copy (IBC) block, or a chroma block; and performing the conversion based on the cross-component model.
