Abstract

Scatter-based scan tables are used to encode and decode video streams. Scatter scan patterns transform coefficients between positions within a 2D array representing a block of a frame and positions within a 1D array for further encoding. By calculating a probability of whether a transform coefficient at a given position in a 2D array is non-zero, a scan order of the 2D array may be defined by a 1D array that groups the values most likely to be zero at the end of the 1D array for removal from a subsequent encoding process. This can reduce the amount of data in an encoded video stream. A decoder can use the same scatter scan pattern to rearrange a sequence of encoded transform coefficients in a 1D array into a 2D array for further decoding of an encoded block.
