Abstract: A method, decoder, and apparatus are provided. Responsive to a current block being a MIP predicted block, it is determined whether it has one or multiple transform blocks. A MIP weight matrix to be used to decode the current block is determined based on a MIP prediction mode. Responsive to the MIP predicted block having one transform block, the MIP predicted block is derived based on the MIP weight matrix and previously decoded elements in the bitstream. Responsive to the MIP predicted block having multiple transform blocks: deriving a first MIP predicted block is derived based on the MIP weight matrix and previously decoded elements in the bitstream and remaining MIP predicted blocks are derived based further on decoded elements in at least one decoded transform block of the current block. The MIP predicted block(s) are output for subsequent processing.

Abstract: Methods for management of encoding complexity for image and video encoding, for example for algorithms belonging to the JPEG 2000 family of standards, where the encoding process targets a given compressed size (i.e. a total coded length) for the image or for each frame of a video sequence. Described are a set of methods for complexity constrained encoding of HTJ2K code-streams, involving collection of local or global statistics for each sub-band (not for each code-block), generation of forecasts for the statistics of sub-band samples that have not yet been produced by spatial transformation and quantization processes, and the use of this information to generate a global quantization parameter, from which the coarsest bit-plane to generate in each code-block can be deduced. Coded length estimates can be generated in a manner that enables latency and memory to be separately optimized against encoded image quality, while maintaining low computational complexity.
