ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,593,076, issued on March 31, was assigned to Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. (Shenzhen, China).
"Transform unit partition method for video coding" was invented by Jianle Chen (San Diego) and Yin Zhao (San Diego).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of decoding includes partitioning a rectangular transform tree node (TTN) using either a vertical binary tree split or a horizontal binary tree split to generate square child TTNs when a maximum transform unit (TU) size for the TTN is smaller than either dimension of the TTN. The method further includes partitioning the child TTNs using a quadtree split to generate transform units (TUs) when t...
