Apparatus for adaptive multiple-dimentional signal sequences encoding/decoding

摘要

A system to process a signal sequence is described. A hybrid block matching and transform based N-Dimensional signal sequence encoder and decoder is disclosed. The encoder includes encoder side block matching predictor, which includes entropy based cost function which can be estimated from certain energy measure of the block matching difference; a fast block matching search method to learn the results from neighboring blocks and to perform large range search with only a small number of points to visit.
