Merge Candidate Transform Inheritance for Video Block Coding

The patent applies parameter changes by establishing specific conditions based on block size (width and height dimensions) to determine when transform type information should be inherited. By changing the parameters of block dimension thresholds, the system automatically selects appropriate inheritance scenarios without requiring complex decision logic, thus improving compression efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity.

The patent applies local quality by making the transform type inheritance behavior different for different blocks based on their dimensions. Instead of uniform inheritance for all blocks, the system applies inheritance selectively to blocks that meet specific size conditions, optimizing compression performance for each local block while maintaining a simple decoding process through clear, condition-based rules.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the block space into different categories based on width and height dimensions. By segmenting blocks into those that satisfy inheritance conditions and those that do not, the system creates clear processing paths. This segmentation approach manages complexity by organizing conditions into discrete, easily implementable size-based categories rather than requiring complex multi-parameter decision trees.
