Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If subblock-wise intra-prediction is implemented, then prediction accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The current block is divided into multiple subblocks, and intra-prediction is performed separately for each subblock. This segmentation allows the prediction to adapt to local variations within the block, improving prediction accuracy while managing complexity through structured partitioning.
Solution Approach 2:
Different prediction modes are applied to different subblocks based on their local characteristics. Each subblock can have its own prediction mode selected from a candidate group, allowing local optimization of prediction quality without requiring complex global processing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple partition types are configured in candidate group, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects partition types from a candidate group based on the characteristics of the current block. The partition type is not fixed but adapts to different blocks, providing versatility while managing complexity through selective configuration rather than exhaustive processing of all possible types.
3Productivity
If subblock-wise coding order is adapted, then encoding efficiency is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coding order of subblocks is predetermined and adapted based on block characteristics before actual encoding. By establishing the coding order in advance, the system improves encoding efficiency through optimized processing sequence while avoiding time loss from dynamic decision-making during encoding.
