摘要： An apparatus for providing motion estimation for video encoding includes a selection element and a processing element. The selection element is configured to select a subset including less than all of candidate pixel locations from among a plurality of candidate pixel locations used for motion vector determination based on a relationship between a best candidate pixel location of a first level of accuracy and a best candidate pixel location of a second level of accuracy. The processing element is configured to process an input video sequence to determine a motion vector at the first level of accuracy, to refine the motion vector at the second level of accuracy, and to determine the motion vector at a third level of accuracy using only the subset of candidate pixel locations.

摘要： A system and method for improving the efficiency of decoding intra-coded blocks in video decoding, even in the event that neighboring pixels of the block are unavailable. According to various embodiments, in addition to information that is used to describe how a prediction is formed using a specified process, other “side” information is also transmitted for use in the decoding process. For example, after the intra-prediction direction of a block is decoded, it is determined whether the intra-prediction requires pixels that are unavailable for the block. If such pixels are needed, than side information may be parsed from the bitstream in a predetermined manner. The prediction signal may then be reconstructed for the block using various pieces of information.

摘要： A method and system for coding a video sequence based on motion compensated prediction, wherein an interpolation filter is used to generate predicted pixel values for picture blocks in the video sequence. The interpolation filter for use in conjunction with a multi-picture type is shorter or having fewer coefficients than the interpolation filter for use in conjunction with a single-picture type. As such, the complexity of the interpolation filter for the multi-picture type can be reduced. Furthermore, the interpolation filter may be changed based on the characteristics of the block, the size and/or the shape of the block.

摘要： The invention relates to an approximation of a DCT and a quantization which are to be applied subsequently to digital data for compression of this digital data. In order to improve the transform, it is proposed to simplify a predetermined transform matrix to require less operations when applied to digital data. In addition, elements of the simplified transform matrix constituting irrational numbers are approximated by rational numbers. These measures are compensated by extending a predetermined quantization to include the operations which were removed in the simplification of the predetermined transform matrix. The included operations are further adjusted to compensate for the approximation of elements of the simplified transform matrix by rational numbers. If the simplified transform matrix and the extended quantization are used as basis for implementation, a fast transform with a good resulting quality can be achieved. An approximation of an IDCT employed in decompression of compressed digital data can be simplified correspondingly.
