Patent number: 10187640Abstract: A method and system for encoding a group of coding blocks and packetizing the compressed data into slices/packets with hard-limited packet size are disclosed. According to the present invention, a packetization map for at least a portion of a current picture is determined. The packetization map associates coding blocks in at least a portion of the current picture with one or more packets by identifying a corresponding group of coding blocks for each packet of said one or more packets. The corresponding group of coding blocks for each packet is then encoded according to the packetization map and the size of each packet is determined. The packet size is checked. If any packet size exceeds a constrained size, a new packetization map is generated and the corresponding group of coding blocks for each packet is encoded according to the new packetization map.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chao-Chih Huang, Ting-An Lin, Shen-Kai Chang, Han-Liang Chou
