Abstract:
1. A method for locating partitions of a video image, comprising: mapping each of a plurality of storage units of a matrix to one of neighboring plural sub-blocks of a video image; storing in each of the storage units a related information of a partition to which the corresponding sub-block belongs; and obtaining the related information of neighboring partitions adjacent to each of the partitions according to relative locations of the storage units in the matrix and the mapping relationship between the storage units and the sub-blocks; wherein the storage unit at an intersection of a first row and a first column of the matrix corresponds to the sub-block at the top-left corner of the sub-blocks, the sub-blocks corresponding to a second row of the matrix are immediately below the sub-blocks corresponding to the first row of the matrix, and the sub-blocks corresponding to the second column of the matrix are immediately right to the sub-blocks corresponding to the first column of the matrix, and so on.
