"Method and apparatus of entropy coding for scalable video coding" was invented by Shih-Ta Hsiang (Hsinchu, Taiwan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and apparatus of context initialization for entropy coding. According to one method, previous context states derived from one or more previous slices for an arithmetic entropy coder are determined, where the previous context states are stored in multiple context state buffers and different context state buffers are used to store the previous context states for different temporal sublayers. Target context sta...
