Abstract
A method and device for encoding video including determining objects within a frame at least partially based on movement characteristics of underlying pixels and partitioning the frame into blocks by considering a plurality of partitioning options, such partitioning favoring options that result in different objects being placed in different blocks.
Claims20
A method of encoding video including:
- determining objects within a frame, such determining being at least partially based on movement characteristics of underlying pixels;
- and
- partitioning the frame into blocks by considering a plurality of partitioning options, such partitioning favoring options that result in different objects being placed in different blocks.
A partitioning controller including:
- a partitioner operable to partition a frame into blocks by considering a plurality of partitioning options, such partitioning favoring options that result in different objects being placed in different blocks.
A computer readable media having instructions thereon that when interpreted by a processor cause the processor to:
- determine objects within a frame at least partially based on movement characteristics of underlying pixels;
- and
- partition a frame into blocks by considering a plurality of partitioning options, such partitioning favoring options that result in different objects being placed in different blocks.
