Patent number: 11838548Abstract: A video encoder may transform residual data by using a transform selected from a group of transforms. The transform is applied to the residual data to create a two-dimensional array of transform coefficients. A scanning mode is selected to scan the transform coefficients in the two-dimensional array into a one-dimensional array of transform coefficients. The combination of transform and scanning mode may be selected from a subset of combinations that is based on an intra-prediction mode. The scanning mode may also be selected based on the transform used to create the two-dimensional array. The transforms and/or scanning modes used may be signaled to a video decoder.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Peisong Chen, Yunfei Zheng, Rajan Laxman Joshi, Muhammed Zeyd Coban, Marta Karczewicz
