1Productivity
If motion vector difference coding is used for inter-predicted video blocks, then compression efficiency is improved, but decoding accuracy may deteriorate due to redundancy in motion vector derivation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the derivation of motion vectors based on the prediction mode. For inter-predicted blocks, motion vectors are derived using specific rules that account for the prediction type, while intra-predicted blocks use different derivation rules. This localized approach ensures that motion vector derivation is optimized for each block's specific characteristics, maintaining decoding accuracy while improving compression efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the motion vector derivation process adaptive to different prediction modes and block types. The derivation rules dynamically adjust based on whether a block is inter-predicted or intra-predicted, and based on the specific prediction mode used. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain optimal compression efficiency and decoding accuracy across diverse video content and coding scenarios.
2Device complexity
If motion vector differences are derived without considering prediction mode, then device complexity is reduced, but compression efficiency deteriorates due to redundancy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing distinct derivation rules for motion vectors before the actual coding process. The system pre-determines which derivation rules to apply based on the prediction mode and block type, allowing for optimized compression efficiency without adding complexity during the actual encoding/decoding operation. The rules are prepared in advance and applied systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting the motion vector derivation parameters based on prediction mode and block characteristics. Different derivation rules are applied as parameters change according to whether the block is inter or intra predicted, and what specific prediction mode is used. This parameter adaptation enables optimized compression efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through systematic rule application.
3Device complexity
If a single context is used for all motion vector differences, then device complexity is reduced, but decoding accuracy deteriorates due to inability to handle different prediction modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the context management into separate contexts for different prediction modes and block types. Instead of using a single context for all motion vector differences, the system maintains distinct contexts for inter-predicted blocks and intra-predicted blocks, and further segments them by prediction mode. This segmentation enables accurate decoding for each block type while managing complexity through systematic organization of contexts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a multi-functional context derivation system that handles multiple prediction modes through a unified framework. The context management mechanism is designed to accommodate both inter and intra predicted blocks, as well as different prediction modes, within a single systematic approach. This universal design maintains decoding accuracy across diverse scenarios while preventing excessive complexity through integrated management.
