VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If MIP mode is adopted for luma prediction with different block sizes, then prediction accuracy is improved, but storage space requirement increases and processing time is prolonged

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation by introducing a unified offset parameter that adjusts the right shift amount dynamically based on block size and MIP mode number, instead of storing separate right shift parameters for each combination. This reduces the number of parameters that need to be stored while maintaining the ability to achieve accurate predictions for different block sizes and modes.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores a unified offset parameter that can be used across different block sizes and MIP modes. This preliminary preparation allows the encoder and decoder to quickly determine the appropriate right shift amount without performing complex lookups or calculations during the actual prediction process, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal offset parameter that serves multiple functions across different block sizes and MIP modes. Instead of having separate parameters for each specific case, this single unified parameter can be applied universally by combining it with the block size and mode information to derive the appropriate right shift amount, simplifying the parameter management system while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
