Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional video coding technologies (HEVC, VVC) are used, then basic video compression is achieved, but coding efficiency and performance are insufficient due to inability to handle local illumination variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding efficiencyVSAvoidcoding performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies Local Illumination Compensation (LIC) parameters to adjust and compensate for illumination variations in different regions of video content. By deriving and applying LIC parameters (including linear model parameters and offset values) to modify pixel values in local regions, the coding system adapts to changing illumination conditions, thereby improving both coding efficiency and performance simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If LIC parameters are derived and applied to compensate for illumination variations, then coding performance is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding performanceVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary derivation of LIC parameters during the encoding process, storing these parameters for subsequent use during decoding. By pre-computing and storing the illumination compensation parameters in the bitstream, the complex computational task is shifted to the encoding stage, allowing the decoder to apply pre-computed parameters with reduced complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent derives LIC parameters from previously coded video units and reuses these parameters for current video units with similar characteristics. By copying and reusing illumination compensation parameters from adjacent or similar regions, the system reduces redundant computations while maintaining coding performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a solution for video processing. A method for video processing is proposed. The method includes: deriving, for a conversion between a video unit of a video and a bitstream of the video, a prediction or reconstruction of the video unit based on one of: one or more intra template matching prediction (intra TMP) candidates, one or more intra prediction modes (IPMs), one or more reordered intra TMP candidates, or one or more reordered IPMs, and wherein the video unit is applied with a fusion of intra template matching prediction (intra TMP) mode and a coding tool; and performing the conversion based on the prediction or reconstruction of the video unit.
