Patent CA-2395127-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAWHNEY HARPREET SINGH
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A scalable video encoder has one or more encoding modes in which at least some, and possibly all, of the motion information used during motion-based predictive encoding of a video stream is excluded from the resulting encoded video bitstream, where a corresponding video decoder is capable of performing its own motion computation to generate its own version of the motion information used to perform motion-based predictive decoding in order to decode the bitstream to generate a decoded video stream. All motion computation, whether at the encoder or the decoder, is preferably performed on decoded data. For example, frames may be encoded as either H, L, or B frames, where H frames are intra-coded at full resolution and L frames are intra-coded at low resolution. The motion information is generated by applying motion computation to decoded L and H frames and used to generate synthesized L  frames. L-frame residual errors are generated by performing inter-frame differencing between the synthesized and original L frames and are encoded into the bitstream. In addition, synthesized B frames are generated by tweening between the decoded H and L frames and B-frame residual errors are generated by performing inter-frame differencing between the synthesized B  frames and, depending on the implementation, either the original B frames or sub-sampled B frames. These B-frame residual errors are also encoded into the bitstream. The ability of the decoder to perform motion computation enables motion-based predictive encoding to be used to generate an encoded bitstream without having to expend bits for explicitly encoding any motion information.
