Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a current block from a current frame from an input video signal; determining an indexed pathway for the current block, such that the indexed pathway includes a plurality of sequentially numbered index units along borders of the current block; determining a partitioning line for the current block, such that the partition line intersects a first index unit from the indexed pathway and a second index unit from the indexed pathway; including, in an output bitstream, an indication of a first index value identifying the first index unit; including, in the output bitstream, an indication of a second index value identifying the second index unit; identifying a first portion of the current block based on the partitioning line; identifying a second portion of the current block based on the partitioning line; generating a first encoded portion by encoding the first portion of the current block; generating a second encoded portion by encoding the second portion of the current block; including the first encoded portion in the output bitstream; including the second encoded portion in the output bitstream; and transmitting or storing the output bitstream.
