<p>Method and apparatus are provided for efficient reference data encoding for video compression by image content based search and ranking. An apparatus includes a rank transformer for respectively transforming reference data for each of a plurality of candidate reference blocks with respect to a current block to be encoded into a respective rank number there for based on a context feature of the current block with respect to the context feature of each of the plurality of candidate reference blocks. The apparatus further includes an entropy encoder for respectively entropy encoding the respective rank number for each of the plurality of candidate reference blocks with respect to the current block in place of, and representative of, the reference data for each of the plurality of candidate reference blocks with respect to the current block.</p> |
