ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,587,673, issued on March 24, was assigned to Hyundai Motor Co. (Seoul, South Korea) and Kia Corp. (Seoul, South Korea).

"Method for decoder-side motion vector derivation using spatial correlation" was invented by Jin Heo (Seoul, South Korea) and Seung Wook Park (Seoul, South Korea).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for decoder-side motion vector derivation utilizes a spatial correlation. A video coding method and apparatus minimize discontinuities at block boundaries, in order to overcome disadvantages of motion prediction that performs motion compensation on a per block basis. The video coding method and the apparatus derive, duri...
