US Patent Issued to InterDigital VC Holdings on Aug. 19 for "Methods and apparatus for reducing the coding latency of decoder-side motion refinement" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,395,674, issued on Aug. 19, was assigned to InterDigital VC Holdings Inc. (Wilmington, Del.).

"Methods and apparatus for reducing the coding latency of decoder-side motion refinement" was invented by Xiaoyu Xiu (San Diego), Yuwen He (San Diego) and Yan Ye (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Embodiments of video coding systems and methods are described for reducing coding latency introduced by decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR). In one example, two non-refined motion vectors are identified for coding of a first block of samples (e.g. a first coding unit) using bi-prediction. One or both of the non-refined motion vectors ar...
