"Adaptation of scan order for entropy coding" was invented by Dake He (Waterloo, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An encoded bitstream is stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The encoded bitstream is configured for decoding by operations that include decoding a subset of quantized transform coefficients of a quantized transform block using a first scan order; determining, based on the subset of the quantized transform coefficients, a second scan order; decoding, based on the second scan order, remaining quantized transform coefficie...
