Specific operation prediction in video compression

Abstract:

A decoding method includes: decoding from the video bitstream a prediction status parameter indicative of whether SOP is enabled; if the SOP is enabled, determining a SOP type indicative of a specific operation for predicting a current picture of the video bitstream; and determining a predicted picture by applying the specific operation to at least one of a reference picture for the current picture and the current picture, in which the specific operation includes at least one of rotation and zoom. An encoding method includes: if SOP is enabled, determining SOP data indicative of a specific operation for predicting a current picture of a video sequence; determining a predicted picture by applying the specific operation to at least one of a reference picture for the current picture and the current picture, in which the specific operation includes at least one of rotation and zoom; and encoding the SOP data.
