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: A method of interpolation in video coding in which an image comprising pixels arranged in rows and columns and represented by values having a specified dynamic range, the pixels in the rows residing at unit horizontal locations and the pixels in the columns residing at unit vertical locations, is interpolated to generate values for sub-pixels at fractional horizontal and vertical locations, the method comprising: a) when values for sub-pixels at half unit horizontal and unit vertical locations, and unit horizontal and half unit vertical locations are required, interpolating such values directly using weighted sums of pixels residing at unit horizontal and unit vertical locations; b) when values for sub-pixels at half unit horizontal and half unit vertical locations are required, interpolating such values directly using a weighted sum of values for sub-pixels residing at half unit horizontal and unit vertical locations calculated according to step (a); and c) when values for sub-pixels at quarter unit horiz
