Abstract

A method of video coding/decoding that includes transforming to/from transform coefficients and residual pixel data in moving pictures by a set of vectors. Two alternative vector sets are disclosed both providing an optimal balance between good performance and simplified computation.

Claims (1261)

1. A method of video coding, comprising:

transforming, with a video coding apparatus, a first block of residual pixel values of pictures by an integer transform function;

generating, with the video coding apparatus, a corresponding second block of transform coefficients,

wherein the integer transform function includes a vector set of eight vectors, said vector set is defined as:
