METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR PARALLEL VIDEO ENCODING AND DECODING Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04N19/91 H03M7/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to computer engineering and specifically to video encoding. The method involves entropy decoding a first portion of a video bitstream which is associated with a video frame, thereby producing a first portion of decoded data; entropy decoding a second portion of the video bitstream which is also associated with the video frame, thereby producing a second portion of decoded data, wherein the entropy decoding of the second portion of the video bitstream is independent of the entropy decoding of the first portion of the video bitstream; and reconstructing a first portion of the video frame associated with the video bitstream using the first portion of decoded data and the second portion of decoded data.

EFFECT: high efficiency of encoding and decoding a video bitstream by dividing data into entropy layers.
