Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a geometric transformation is applied to a current video block, then the coding quality and efficiency are improved, but the reference video block may become misaligned with the transformed block

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding qualityVSAvoidreference block alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting the reference video block before it is needed for prediction. The reference block is transformed in advance based on the geometric transformation parameters of the current block, ensuring that when the current block is processed, the reference block is already in the correct position and orientation for accurate prediction, thereby maintaining coding quality without misalignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the reference block adjustment flexible and adaptive. Instead of using a fixed reference block, the system dynamically adjusts the reference block's position and transformation parameters based on the specific geometric transformation applied to the current block, allowing the system to adapt to different transformation scenarios and maintain optimal alignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If the reference video block is adjusted according to geometric transformation, then coding efficiency is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the transformation parameters of the reference block based on the current block's geometric transformation. Instead of using fixed transformation parameters, the system calculates and applies adjusted parameters that account for the relationship between the current block and reference block, enabling efficient coding while managing processing complexity through parameter-based control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating an adjusted reference block that copies the structure and characteristics of the original reference block but with modified transformation parameters. This allows the system to reuse the reference block structure while adapting it to the current transformation, reducing the need for complete reprocessing and lowering overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
