Abstract:
A better compromise between encoding complexity and achievable rate distortion ratio, and/or to achieve a better rate distortion ratio is achieved by using multitree sub-divisioning not only in order to subdivide a continuous area, namely the sample array, into leaf regions, but using the intermediate regions also to share coding parameters among the corresponding collocated leaf blocks. By this measure, coding procedures performed in tiles—leaf regions—locally, may be associated with coding parameters individually without having to, however, explicitly transmit the whole coding parameters for each leaf region separately. Rather, similarities may effectively exploited by using the multitree subdivision.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for encoding an array of information samples representing video information signal into a data stream, the method comprising:\n inserting, into the data stream, inheritance information associated with an inheritance coding block of the array of information samples, the inheritance information indicating as to whether inheritance is used, wherein the inheritance coding block corresponds to a first hierarchy level of a sequence of hierarchy levels and is composed of a set of coding sub-blocks, each of which corresponds to a second hierarchy level of the sequence of hierarchy levels; inserting, into the data stream if inheritance is indicated to be used with respect to the inheritance coding block, an inheritance subset including at least one syntax element of a predetermined syntax element type associated with the inheritance coding block, wherein, during decoding, at least one syntax element in the inheritance subset is to be copied into a set of syntax elements representing coding parameters used in an inter coding process corresponding to each of the set of coding sub-blocks in order to reconstruct the coding sub-block; and inserting, into the data stream, respective residual information for each of the set sub-blocks so that each of the set of coding sub-blocks in the inheritance coding block is to be reconstructed based on one or more of the coding parameters used in the inter coding process, the respective residual information specific to the coding sub-block, and a respective prediction signal generated based on information associated with a previously reconstructed coding sub-block in accordance with the inter coding process.
