Video Frame Partition Skipping for Faster Predictive Coding

The patent applies preliminary action by performing predictive coding using reference frame information before the actual partition mode selection. The coder predicts partition modes based on historical coding information from reference frames, allowing the system to pre-determine likely partition configurations and skip exhaustive searches, thus reducing complexity while maintaining compression efficiency

The patent implements skipping by allowing the coder to bypass certain partition mode evaluations when predictive information from reference frames indicates suboptimal choices. By skipping unnecessary partition mode searches based on predictive coding results, the system reduces computational complexity and increases coding speed while preserving essential compression performance

The patent uses preliminary action by performing predictive coding analysis on reference frames before processing the current frame. This preliminary prediction of partition modes allows the coder to avoid exhaustive searches during actual coding, thereby improving coding speed while maintaining the compression efficiency benefits of multiple partition modes

The patent applies skipping by enabling the coder to rush through the partition mode selection process by bypassing evaluations of modes that are predicted to be suboptimal based on reference frame information. This skipping mechanism directly increases coding speed by reducing the number of partition mode evaluations required
