Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If template partitioning is used for prediction mode determination, then prediction accuracy is improved, but template partitioning is not fine enough leading to inaccurate prediction modes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtemplate partitioning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The template is divided into multiple sub-templates through fine partitioning, allowing each sub-template to be matched independently against the current block. This segmentation enables more precise prediction mode determination by considering local characteristics of different template regions, thereby resolving the contradiction between prediction accuracy and partitioning fineness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a weight derivation mode that operates in an additional dimension of prediction mode determination. Instead of only selecting from fixed partitioning schemes, the system derives weights for different template regions and combines multiple prediction modes weighted by these derived values, achieving finer-grained accuracy without increasing partitioning complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If multiple prediction modes are determined through template matching, then compression efficiency is improved, but prediction modes determined are inaccurate due to coarse template partitioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression efficiencyVSAvoidprediction mode accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the template are assigned different weights based on their local quality and relevance to the current block. By deriving weights for each template region and using them to combine prediction modes, the system achieves both high compression efficiency and accurate prediction modes, as each region contributes appropriately according to its local characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of template partitioning from fixed coarse partitions to variable fine partitions based on weight derivation modes. This parameter change allows the system to adapt the partitioning granularity to the specific characteristics of each template-block pair, simultaneously achieving high compression efficiency and prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If fine template partitioning is implemented, then prediction mode accuracy is improved, but the complexity of determining prediction modes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction mode accuracyVSAvoidprediction mode determination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The weight derivation mode acts as an intermediary between template partitioning and prediction mode determination. Instead of directly implementing complex fine partitioning, the system uses weight derivation as a mediator that processes template information and produces refined prediction modes, reducing the direct complexity of partitioning while achieving high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
