  • CONTEXT INITIALIZATION BASED ON SLICE HEADER FLAG AND SLICE TYPE
    Publication number: 20260059109
    Abstract: Technique for initialization of encoders and decoders. In some cases, the decoder receives a slice and identifies if the slice is either a forward predicted B-slice or a backward predicted B-slice, and not both a forward and backward predicted B-slice, and based upon this identification initializes, using a P-slice technique, a context associated with the slice.

  • PROCESSING A VIDEO FRAME HAVING SLICES AND TILES
    Publication number: 20250159169
    Abstract: A method for decoding video includes receiving a frame of the video that includes at least one slice and at least one time. Each of the at least one slice and the at least one tile are not all aligned with one another. Each of the at least one slice is characterized that it is decoded independently of the other the at least one slice. Each of the at least one tile is characterized that it is a rectangular region of the frame and having coding units for the decoding arranged in a raster scan order. The at least one tile of the frame are collectively arranged in a raster scan order of the frame.
