MUMBAI, India, July 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517059957 A) filed by Microsoft Technology Licensing, Llc, Redmond, U.S.A., on June 23, for 'neural video coding.'

Inventor(s) include Li, Jiahao; Li, Bin; and Lu, Yan.

The application for the patent was published on July 4, under issue no. 27/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for neural video coding is provided. According to the solution, estimated motion information of a target frame in a video, reference feature information and a reference reconstructed frame of a reference frame for the target frame are obtained. Context information for the target frame is determined using a context extraction model and based on the estimated motion information, the reference reconstructed frame, and the reference feature information. In a conversion between the target frame and a bitstream of the video, a reconstructed target frame of the target frame is generated using a frame coding model and based on at least the context information. In this way, richer context information can be extracted for coding and thus the coding efficiency can be improved."

The patent application was internationally filed on Dec. 18, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/084484.
