Title: Generating a set of motion vector predictors including one temporal motion vector predictor
Inventor: LAROCHE GUILLAUME
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2011-03-09
Abstract: A set of motion vector predictors is generated for a block to encode forming part of a current video frame that is to be encoded. The number of temporal motion vector predictors in the set is one and the number of spatial motion vector predictors in the set is at least one. The one temporal predictor of the set is determined by selecting as the motion vector at a predetermined position, in the vicinity of a bottom right position of a block of the reference frame collocated with said block to encode, in a block of the reference frame neighbouring the collocated block. The predetermined position may be the top left position in the block diagonally below and to the right of the collocated block. The temporal predictor selected may be determined in dependence on the selected at least one spatial predictor. This can provide coding efficiency improvements and may increase the diversity of the predictor set.

Some embodiments, responsive to an instruction specifying: a set of loads, a second operation, destination register, operand register, memory address, and stride length; execution units read values in a mask register, wherein fields in the mask register correspond to stride-length multiples from the memory address to data elements in memory. A first mask value indicates the element has not been loaded from memory and a second value indicates that the element does not need to be, or has already been loaded. For each having the first value, the data element is loaded from memory into the corresponding destination register location, and the corresponding value in the mask register is changed to the second value. Then the second operation is performed using corresponding data in the destination and operand registers to generate results. The instruction may be restarted after faults.
