VIDEO ENCODING OF SCREEN CONTENT DATA

摘要

An input of an encoder receives moving image data comprising a sequence of frames to be encoded, each frame comprising a plurality of blocks in two dimensions with each block comprising a plurality of pixels in those two dimensions. A motion prediction module performs encoding by, for at least part of each of a plurality of said frames, coding each block relative to a respective reference portion of another frame of the sequence, with the respective reference portion being offset from the block by a respective motion vector. According to the present disclosure, the moving image data of this plurality of frames comprises a screen capture stream, and the motion prediction module is configured to restrict each of the motion vectors of the screen capture stream to an integer number of pixels in at least one of said dimensions.
