Publication number: 20250030847Abstract: Techniques for block wise encoding and decoding may be applied to encoders, decoders, and methods for encoding or decoding and include assigning, based on a first signalization in the data stream, the predetermined block to the first set or the second set, sorting the assigned set of intra-prediction modes according to intra-prediction modes used for neighboring blocks, neighboring the predetermined block, to obtain a list of intra prediction modes, deriving, for the predetermined block, from the data stream, an index into the list of intra prediction modes, predicting the predetermined block using an intra prediction mode onto which the index points. The decoder or encoder, if the assigned set is the first set of intra-prediction modes, in sorting the assigned set, uses a second mapping which maps each intra-prediction mode of the second set of prediction modes onto a representative one in the first set of intra-prediction modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Jonathan PFAFF, Heiko SCHWARZ, Philipp HELLE, Michael SCHÄFER, Roman RISCHKE, Tobias HINZ, Philipp MERKLE, Björn STALLENBERGER, Martin WINKEN, Mischa SIEKMANN, Detlev MARPE, Thomas WIEGAND

Patent number: 12160571Abstract: Techniques for block wise encoding and decoding may be applied to encoders, decoders, and methods for encoding or decoding. In one example, there is provided a technique to decode or encode a predetermined block of the picture by assigning, based on a first signalization in the data stream, the predetermined block to a first set or a second set; sorting the assigned set of intra-prediction modes according to intra-prediction modes used for neighboring blocks, neighboring the predetermined block, to obtain a list of intra prediction modes; deriving, for the predetermined block, from the data stream, an index into the list of intra prediction modes; and predicting the predetermined block using an intra prediction mode onto which the index points.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2023Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Jonathan Pfaff, Heiko Schwarz, Philipp Helle, Michael Schäfer, Roman Rischke, Tobias Hinz, Philipp Merkle, Björn Stallenberger, Martin Winken, Mischa Siekmann, Detlev Marpe, Thomas Wiegand

Publication number: 20240373064Abstract: Techniques for encoding/decoding of video signals are described, e.g. implemented in decoders, encoder, methods and non-transitory storage units storing instructions to perform the methods. A decoder or encoder may be configured to predict a predetermined block of the picture using a plurality of neighbouring samples by reducing the plurality of neighbouring samples to obtain a reduced set of samples values lower, in number of samples, than compared to the plurality of neighbouring samples, subjecting the reduced set of sample values to a linear or affine linear transformation to obtain predicted values for predetermined samples of the predetermined block.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Pfaff, Philipp Helle, Michael Schaefer, Roman Rischke, Tobias Hinz, Philipp Merkle, Bjoern Stallenberger, Martin Winken, Mischa Siekmann, Heiko Schwarz, Detlev Marpe, Thomas Wiegand
