METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING WAVE-FRONT PARALLEL ENCODING PROCEDURE WITH CONSTRAINT ON ONE OR BOTH OF CODING MODE AND QUANTIZATION PARAMETER SELECTION

摘要

An encoding method includes following steps: performing a wave-front parallel encoding procedure for encoding pixel data of a frame partition, wherein the frame partition comprises a plurality of block rows, each of the block rows comprises a plurality of blocks, and each of the blocks comprises a plurality of pixels; and imposing constraint on a coding mode selection of a first block of a first block row.
