US Patent Issued to Sharp on June 30 for "Methods for deriving a motion vector prediction in video coding" (Washington Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,671,833, issued on June 30, was assigned to Sharp K.K. (Sakai City, Japan).

"Methods for deriving a motion vector prediction in video coding" was invented by Kiran Mukesh Misra (Vancouver, Wash.), Frank Bossen (Vancouver, Wash.) and Christopher Andrew Segall (Vancouver, Wash.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of performing motion vector prediction for coding video data is disclosed. A full precision motion vector mv is determined for generating a prediction for video block in a first picture. A rounded motion vector rmv having a less precision than the full precision motion vector mv is stored. A motion vector predictor candidate i...
