Abstract: Transform coding is not restricted inside normal block boundary but is adjusted to the characteristics of the prediction error. Thereby it is possible to achieve a coding efficiency improvement by selecting and coding the best portion of the prediction error in terms of rate distortion tradeoff.

Abstract: A system and method for video/image encoding and decoding, where transform coefficients associated with a plurality of blocks are reorganized and coded together. Various embodiments perform transform and quantization and generate transform coefficients, where the coefficients of the transform blocks are reorganized and interleaved. Additionally, an encoding process involves coding only a subset of the transform coefficients belonging to the transform blocks resulting in one or more transform blocks less than the original number of transform blocks, and putting this into a bitstream. A decoding process involves decoding the one or more resulting transform blocks including the subset of transform coefficients from the bistream, the transform coefficients being put in an array and decoded. The decoder de-interleaves the decoded transform coefficients and any remaining coefficients of the one or more transform blocks are filled in according to a plurality of different methods.

Abstract: An interpolating method and a device for interpolating in grade video compression are disclosed. They apply mutual independent accurate interpolation filters to the luminance component and the chroma component, in which, their tap coefficients are mutual independent and the filters can be symmetric or not. And the interpolating result is used in interpolating in scalable video coding for a good effect. The increment of the compression efficiency and the reduction of the complexity can be realized. The interpolating method can be executed in the interpolating device.
