Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital video compression technologies face challenges in efficiently handling illuminance changes and color differences in video content, leading to increased residual information and reduced encoding efficiency, particularly in scenarios with similar textures and varying illuminance.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a decoding method that utilizes intra block copy local illuminance compensation (IBC-LIC) to determine a template region for establishing a model, predicting a block based on IBC mode, and performing illuminance compensation to improve decoding performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing digital video compression standards are used, then video data can be compressed for transmission and storage, but decoding performance is insufficient and residual information increases in scenarios with illuminance changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding performanceVSAvoidresidual information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies illuminance compensation by calculating scaling factors and offset values to adjust the luminance values in the predicted block. This transforms the parameter values of the pixel data to compensate for illuminance changes, thereby reducing residual information and improving decoding performance in scenarios with varying light conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an illuminance compensation mechanism as an intermediary step between prediction and reconstruction. By calculating compensation values based on template regions and applying them to the predicted block, it mediates the discrepancy between the predicted and actual blocks, reducing residual information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If illuminance compensation is performed on predicted blocks, then encoding efficiency improves and residual information reduces, but decoding time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding efficiencyVSAvoiddecoding time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs illuminance compensation during the encoding phase to generate compensation values and apply them to the predicted blocks. By completing the compensation action in advance during encoding, the decoding process can directly use the compensated values without performing additional calculations, thereby improving encoding efficiency while minimizing the impact on decoding time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
