Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of substance

If spatial and temporal redundancy are excessively removed during compression coding, then compression rate increases, but decoding accuracy deteriorates due to information loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression rateVSAvoiddecoding accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by using decoded reference pixels from previously reconstructed blocks to generate intra-prediction values for current blocks. The decoder continuously refines its predictions by comparing predicted values with actual decoded values and adjusting subsequent predictions based on this feedback, thereby maintaining decoding accuracy even with high compression rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing reference pixels through filtering operations before using them for intra-prediction. The decoder applies smoothing filters to reference pixels adjacent to the current block, preparing enhanced reference data in advance that improves prediction accuracy without requiring additional transmitted information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If simple intra-prediction methods are used, then decoding complexity is reduced, but prediction accuracy deteriorates due to rounding errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding complexityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes parameters by applying different filtering operations to reference pixels based on their position and the prediction mode being used. The decoder selectively applies smoothing filters with different characteristics to different reference pixels, optimizing prediction accuracy for various block types and prediction directions while managing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively filtering only the necessary reference pixels that are actually used for intra-prediction, rather than processing all pixels in the reference block. This selective approach reduces unnecessary computational operations while maintaining prediction accuracy for the critical reference data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
