Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complex rice parameter derivation processes are used for residual and coefficient coding, then coding precision may be improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoding precisionVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by using fixed rice parameters (e.g., parameter 0 or 1) instead of dynamically derived parameters. This simplifies the coding process by eliminating complex derivation calculations while maintaining adaptive coding through selective application of different fixed parameters based on coding conditions such as transform type or block size.

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple different coding methods are used for transform skip and regular transform modes, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by using the same simplified rice parameter derivation process for both transform skip mode and regular transform mode. This unified approach reduces complexity while maintaining adaptability through the selective use of fixed parameters based on the specific coding context, allowing one coding framework to serve multiple transform modes effectively.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by using fixed rice parameters that are optimized for different coding scenarios. Instead of complex dynamic derivation, the system selects appropriate fixed parameters (0 or 1) based on coding conditions, achieving both computational simplicity and coding efficiency through pre-optimized parameter selection.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums are provided for video coding. The method for video coding includes: receiving, by a decoder, a residual coding rice constraint flag to provide general constraint controls for at least one of other flags; and in response to determining that a value of the residual coding rice constraint flag equals to 1, determining that a value of the at least one of other flags equals to 0.
