1Quantity of substance
If traditional quantization is used for compression, then data rate is reduced, but reconstruction accuracy deteriorates due to non-invertible loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing motion compensation and predicting the current frame from reference frames before quantization. This preliminary reconstruction step preserves essential temporal and spatial information, allowing subsequent quantization to operate on already-compressed data rather than raw pixel values, thereby maintaining reconstruction accuracy while achieving compression.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary prediction residue as a mediator between the reference frames and the current frame. Instead of directly quantizing and transmitting full frame data, the system computes the difference (residue) between predicted and actual frames, then quantizes only this residue. This intermediary representation captures only the necessary new information, reducing data rate while preserving reconstruction fidelity.
2Quantity of substance
If transform coding is applied for compression, then bit rate is reduced, but sparsity is limited and compression efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the video sequence into independent frame predictions and residue components. Each frame is segmented into a predicted portion (from reference frames via motion compensation) and a residue portion (the difference). This segmentation allows transform coding to be applied selectively to the residue, which has higher sparsity, thereby improving compression efficiency while reducing bit rate.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation from direct pixel values to motion-compensated prediction residues. By transforming the data representation from spatial domain pixels to temporal-domain residues, the system exploits temporal correlations more effectively, increasing sparsity and improving compression efficiency without significantly increasing bit rate.
3Device complexity
If simple motion compensation is used, then decoding complexity is reduced, but temporal and spatial correlations are not fully exploited and compression deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing motion compensation that adapts to varying temporal and spatial correlations in different video sequences and scenes. The motion estimation and compensation parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the content characteristics, allowing the system to fully exploit temporal and spatial correlations when present while maintaining manageable decoding complexity through standardized algorithms.
