  • Publication number: 20250088645
    Abstract: Coding of the last coded coefficient position is performed by basing the coding of the y coordinate of the position of the last coded coefficient on knowledge of the size of the partial transform used to generate a block of coefficients from a block of video pixels. This enables a context adaptive coding of the last coded coefficient parameter to be performed much more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11936863
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the performance of video encoders and decoders involves selecting a set of transforms from among a plurality of sets of transforms that can be used for coding blocks in a region of a video image. Within a region, selection of a particular transform from among a plurality of transforms comprising the selected set of transforms is used to encoder or decode at least one block in the region. Associated indices representing the set of transforms to be used within a region and the selected transform for a block can be sent in a bitstream. In an alternate embodiment, a default set of transforms is complemented by selection of an additional set of transforms on a block or region basis.
