US Patent Issued to Beijing Baidu Netcom Science Technology on Jan. 27 for "Method and apparatus for estimating motion vector of inter-frame coding" (Chinese Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,537,960, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to Beijing Baidu Netcom Science Technology Co. Ltd. (Beijing).

"Method and apparatus for estimating motion vector of inter-frame coding" was invented by Jian Zou (Beijing).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and apparatus for predicting motion vector for inter-frame encoding are provided. An implementation scheme of the method includes: acquiring first and second sets of motion vectors; dividing, in response to the number of valid adjacent PUs being greater than or equal to a preset number, the second set of motion vectors into at least one motion vector subset; calculating a correlation betwee...
