Patent CA-2719388-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YE YAN
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 2009-04-10
Abstract: This disclosure describes filtering tech-niques applied by an encoder and a decoder during the prediction stage of a video encoding and/or decoding pro-cess. The filtering techniques may enhance the accuracy of predictive data used during fractional interpolation, and may improve predictive data of integer blocks of pixels.  There are several aspects to this disclosure, including a useful twelve-pixel filter support that may be used for in-terpolation, techniques that use coefficient symmetry and pixel symmetry to reduce the amount of data needed to be sent between an encoder and a decoder to configure the fil-ter support for interpolation, and techniques for filtering data at integer pixel locations in a manner that is similar to sub-pixel interpolation. Other aspects of this disclosure concern techniques for encoding information in the bit-stream to convey the type of filter used, and possibly the filter coefficients used. Predictive coding of filter coeffi-cients is also described.
