Abstract
A sparse matrix representation of image or video data for encoding or decoding uses a boundary of non-zero coefficients within the image or video data. A bounding box encloses each non-zero coefficient within an image or video block. The coefficients enclosed within the bounding box are encoded to a bitstream along with dimensional information usable to identify the bounding box within the image or video block during decoding. Coefficients not enclosed within the bounding box are not specifically encoded within the bitstream. The dimensional information represents one or more of a shape, size, or position within the image or video block of the bounding box. The bounding box may be identified according to a scan order used to process the coefficients within the image or video block. The bounding box may be rectangular or non-rectangular.
