Solution Overview

Problem

Current video compression methods face challenges in efficiently processing next-generation video content with high spatial resolution and frame rate, leading to increased memory and processing demands, and suffer from weakened correlation due to quantization noise and computational complexity.

Innovation Solution

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different scaling matrices to different pixel locations within the same block, making the reconstruction process locally adaptive rather than uniformly simple. This local differentiation maintains correlation by tailoring reconstruction to local characteristics while keeping overall computational complexity manageable through the structured approach of using predefined scaling matrices.

AI summary

Disclosed is a method allowing enhanced prediction of a video signal, the method comprising the steps of: entropy-decoding a neighboring block adjacent to a target block; inverse-quantizing the entropy-decoded neighboring block; acquiring the modified neighboring block by carrying out a modified inverse transform on an inverse-quantized transform coefficient vector of the neighboring block; and generating a prediction block for the target block based on the modified neighboring block, wherein the modified inverse transform applies a different scaling matrix for each pixel location reconstructed for the inverse-quantized transform coefficient vector of the neighboring block.
