Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video encoding and decoding technologies face challenges in efficiently representing high-quality digital media for storage, transmission, and playback due to increasing complexity and image quality requirements, particularly in compressing and decompressing high-resolution video data.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, which uses Context-Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) for compressing Transformed and Quantized Coefficients (TQCs) and employs a block-based coding approach, converting 2D TQCs into 1D arrays for entropy coding, and utilizing a combination of intra and inter-frame prediction, transformation, and quantization to achieve efficient compression.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional video coding techniques are used to represent high-quality digital media, then image quality requirements and resolution requirements increase, but coding complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the video coding process into separate functional components: prediction units, transformation units, quantization units, and entropy coding units. Each unit operates independently on specific data segments, allowing complex processing to be broken down into manageable tasks that can be optimized individually without increasing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nested coding structures where smaller coding units are contained within larger ones. For example, transform blocks are divided into prediction blocks, which are further divided into coding blocks. This nested architecture allows efficient representation of high-quality video data while maintaining manageable complexity through hierarchical organization
2Productivity
If higher resolution video data is processed, then coding efficiency improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing steps including motion estimation and prediction generation before the main encoding/decoding process. By preparing prediction data and transforming coefficients in advance, the system reduces processing time during critical video reconstruction operations while maintaining high coding efficiency for high-resolution data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous processing through overlapping operations where prediction, transformation, and quantization occur in continuous cycles rather than discrete steps. This allows the system to maintain high processing throughput for high-resolution video while improving coding efficiency through uninterrupted data flow and parallel operations
