  • Complexity control of video codec
    Patent number: 10897619
    Abstract: Means for controlling the computational complexity related to video encoding that includes a dynamic rate distortion cost error threshold and constrains the encoding complexity to a given complexity target. The solution is selective and provides fast convergence while incurring only a limited loss in rate distortion performance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 19, 2021
    Assignee: BARCO NV
    Inventors: Thijs Vermeir, Jurgen Slowack
  • Method and apparatus for chroma reconstruction
    Patent number: 10552876
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting chroma values including the steps of having a decoder provide an image frame to an up-sample filter, the image frame having luma and chroma components, and applying an analysing algorithm on a subset of said image frame to obtain the subset content type, and, depending on the content type, select a reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct the chroma components.
