  • Patent number: 11949915
    Abstract: An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by: deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining the residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal of the picture, the transform signal representing the picture in spectral components; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation, wherein the buffered transform signal comprises a selection out of spectral components representing the previous picture.

  • Publication number: 20230353787
    Abstract: An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining a residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal approximation of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal representing the picture, the transform signal having a plurality of transform coefficients; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation. The apparatus is configured for deriving the buffered transform signal approximation from a further transform signal representing the previous picture so that the buffered transform signal approximation has approximations of further transform coefficients of the further transform signal.

  • Publication number: 20230230283
    Abstract: There is disclosed an encoder, a decoder, related methods, and non-transitory storage units storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the methods. At an encoder (300), after a spatial transformation stage (304), there is obtained a spatially transformed version (306) of input image information (302) having multiple bands and, for each band, multiple transform band coefficients. After the generation of precincts (311), each comprising transform coefficients covering a predetermined spatial area of the input image information (302), there is provided a component transformation stage (320, 325), to apply one component transformation (CTr) selected (327) out of a plurality of predetermined component transformations, to each band (102?) of each precinct (311). Hence, there is obtained a spatially transformed and color transformed version (323) of the input image information (302), which is subsequently quantized and entropy encoded.
