Method for decoding bitstream with affine tools in images
The granted patent US12075095B2 outlines a method and electronic device for decoding a bitstream that includes encoded data for image frames. The method involves several steps, starting with the reception of encoded data that contains a sequence parameter set (SPS) associated with the image frames. The process includes determining various affine flags that indicate the status of an affine mode, which encompasses multiple affine tools. Specifically, the first affine flag indicates whether the affine mode is enabled, while the second and third flags provide information about the presence of specific affine tools, including an affine prediction refinement with optical flow (PROF) mode. The reconstruction of image regions is contingent upon the values of these flags, allowing for adaptive processing based on the encoded data.
Additionally, the patent details the conditions under which the flags are evaluated and how they influence the reconstruction process. For instance, if the third affine flag indicates that the affine PROF mode is disabled, the reconstruction will utilize a set of candidate modes that exclude this mode. The method also includes provisions for inferring the status of the flags based on their presence or absence in the SPS and slice headers. The electronic device is equipped with a processor and storage that execute machine-executable instructions to carry out these decoding operations, ensuring efficient handling of the encoded bitstream for image frame reconstruction.
