VIDEO ENCODING USING BLOCK-BASED MIXED-RESOLUTION DATA PRUNING

摘要

The apparatus for encoding a picture in a video sequence includes a pruning block identifier 410 for identifying one or more original blocks to be pruned from the original version of the picture. The apparatus further includes a block replaceer 415 for generating a pruned version of the image by generating one or more replacement blocks for each of the one or more original blocks to be pruned. The apparatus further includes a metadata generator 410 for generating metadata for recovering the pruned version of the image. The metadata includes location information of one or more replacement blocks. The apparatus further comprises an encoder for encoding the pruned version of the image and the metadata.;
