An apparatus includes an encoder for encoding picture data for a region in a picture using adaptive geometric partitioning, wherein a subset of geometric partitions used to code the picture data for the region is determined responsive to at least one of a distance and an angle. The distance is measured from a defined point within the region to a partition boundary. The angle is measured with respect to at least a line extending from the defined point within the region to the partition boundary. | 05-03-2012 |
20120177129 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE PROBABILITY UPDATE FOR NON-CODED SYNTAX - There is provided an apparatus. The apparatus includes an encoder ( | 07-12-2012 |
20130044814 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE INTERPOLATIVE INTRA BLOCK ENCODING AND DECODING - Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptive interpolative intra block encoding and decoding. An apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding at least an intra block in a picture by dividing the intra block into at least a first partition and a second partition, and generating predictions of pixels in the second partition by adaptively interpolating reconstructed pixels from the first partition. | 02-21-2013 |
20130058413 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR UNI-PREDICTION OF SELF-DERIVATION OF MOTION ESTIMATION - Methods and apparatus are provided for uni-prediction of self-derivation of motion estimation. An apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding at least a portion of a picture. The video encoder includes a self derivation motion estimator for performing self derivation motion estimation for the portion. The self derivation motion estimation is used for selectively performing uni-prediction or bi-prediction for the portion based on one or more criterion. | 03-07-2013 |
