Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for direct data transfer. An example method comprises transferring data between a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is a bit vector operation device, and transforming the data using a data transform engine (DTE) by rearranging the data to enable the data to be stored on the first device when transferring the data between the second device and first memory device.

Abstract: The invention is related to a method for determining a filter for interpolating one or more pixels comprised in a frame. The proposed method comprises the step of determining the filter based on other pixels in the remainder of the frame wherein a motion vector associated with said pixels has at least one motion parameter in common with another motion vector associated with said other pixels and the filter is determined such that a quality of an interpolation of said other pixels, said interpolation being determined by help of said determined filter, reaches or exceeds the quality of any other interpolation of said other pixels determinable by help of one of different filter candidates comprised in a filter candidate set. In determining the filter solely on different other pixels of the same frame, said method for determining a filter for interpolation allows for realization of a single pass encoding framework.

Abstract: For compressing a video signal, a local multiscale transform is applied to a frame of the video signal to obtain coefficient blocks. The coefficients of each block are distributed into a plurality of coefficient groups, and for at least one of the groups, a common exponent is determined for encoding the coefficients of the group, and respective mantissas are determined for quantizing the coefficients of the group in combination with the common exponent. Coding data including each exponent determined for a coefficient group and the mantissas quantizing the coefficients of the group in combination with this exponent are stored in an external frame buffer.
