METHOD AND SYSTEM OF TRANSFORM BLOCK PROCESSING ACCORDING TO QUANTIZATION MATRIX IN VIDEO CODING

摘要

A method and system for processing transform blocks according to quantization matrices in a video coding system are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention derive one or more derived quantization matrices from one or more initial quantization matrices or from one previously derived quantization matrix. In one embodiment, the initial quantization matrices include a 4×4 and 8×8 quantization matrices, which can be either default or user-defined. All quantization matrices larger than 8×8 can be derived from the 4×4 and 8×8 initial quantization matrices. Non-square quantization matrices can be derived from at least one initial square quantization matrix or at least one derived square quantization matrix. Individual initial quantization matrices may be used to derive respective larger quantization matrices. Furthermore, the individual initial quantization matrices may be derived from larger quantization matrices designed for corresponding transform sizes. Syntax design to enable the quantization matrix representation is also disclosed.

1. A method for processing transform blocks according to quantization matrices in a video coding system, the method comprising:
receiving one or more initial quantization matrices having first sizes; deriving one or more derived quantization matrices having second sizes from one of said one or more initial quantization matrices; receiving a transform block having a block size, where the transform block is associated with a picture, and wherein the block size is equal to one of the first sizes or one of the second sizes; processing the transform block according to respective one of said one or more initial quantization matrices if the block size is equal to said one of the first sizes; and processing the transform block according to respective one of said one or more derived quantization matrices if the block size is equal to said one of the second sizes.
