Video Block Prediction Mode Selection for CCP Coding Efficiency

The patent implements dynamic adaptation of prediction modes based on template cost calculations. The system automatically selects between different prediction modes (first prediction mode and second prediction mode) by comparing template costs, allowing the coding system to dynamically optimize for different video content characteristics without manual intervention, thereby improving coding efficiency while maintaining adaptability

The patent changes the parameter of prediction mode selection by introducing template cost as a new selection criterion. Instead of using fixed or simple prediction mode selection, the system calculates template costs and uses these costs to determine which prediction mode to apply, transforming the prediction mode selection process into a parameter-optimized decision that improves coding efficiency

The patent enables the decoder to self-determine the prediction mode by calculating template costs locally without requiring explicit mode signaling from the encoder. The decoder independently computes the template cost for the current block and automatically selects the appropriate prediction mode based on this calculated cost, eliminating the need for complex explicit signaling while maintaining implementation simplicity

The patent introduces template cost as an intermediary parameter that mediates between the encoder and decoder. Instead of directly signaling the prediction mode through complex bitstream elements, the system uses template cost calculations as an intermediate step that both encoder and decoder can compute independently, simplifying the signaling requirements while enabling efficient mode selection
