摘要:
There are provided methods and apparatus for edge-based spatio-temporal filtering. An apparatus for filtering a sequence of pictures includes a spatial filter, a motion compensator, a deblocking filter, and a temporal filter. The spatial filter is for spatially filtering a picture in the sequence and at least one reference picture selected from among previous pictures and subsequent pictures in the sequence with respect to the picture. The motion compensator, in signal communication with the spatial filter, is for forming, subsequent to spatial filtering, multiple temporal predictions for the picture from the at least one reference picture. The deblocking filter, in signal communication with the motion compensator, is for deblock filtering the multiple temporal predictions. The temporal filter, in signal communication with the deblocking filter, is for temporally filtering the multiple temporal predictions and combining the multiple temporal predictions to generate a noise reduced version of the picture.

There are provided methods and apparatus for constrained prediction for reduced resolution update mode and complexity scalability in video encoders and decoders. A scalable complexity video encoder includes an encoder (1100) for encoding a block in a particular picture in the video sequence by generating an intra mode prediction for the block using a constrained intra prediction process that reduces artifacts for both low and high resolutions in a reduced resolution update mode when the particular picture is eventually decoded. The constrained intra prediction process reduces the artifacts by prohibiting the use of particular prediction modes associated with the introduction of the artifacts in the reduced resolution update mode.

There are provided a method and apparatus for adaptive weight selection for motion compensated prediction. The apparatus includes an encoder (100) for encoding a picture by deriving a set of weighting parameters, selecting at least one weighting parameter in the set based upon a selection criteria, and applying the selected at least one weighting parameter to a reference picture used to encode the picture.

There is disclosed a video encoder (400) and corresponding method (500) for encoding video data for an image block. The video encoder performs a mode decision by performing initial motion estimation on only a subset of possible block sizes to output motion information corresponding thereto, and determining, based upon the motion information corresponding to only the subset of possible of block sizes and upon other image-related analysis data, whether other block sizes are to be evaluated.

The simulation of film grain in an image makes use of parameters contained in a Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) message that accompanies the image upon transmission. The SEI message specifies film grain simulation parameters such as the film simulation model, the blending mode, and color space.

A video encoder (300) and corresponding method (700) are provided for encoding an input picture or image block using a prediction from a reference-only picture, where the encoder (300) includes a picture buffer (374) for storing a previously coded picture, and a reference processing unit (376) in signal communication with the picture buffer for generating the reference-only picture from a previously coded picture; and the corresponding method (700) includes receiving (712) a substantially uncompressed image block, filtering (714) a previously coded picture to create an adaptive reference, motion compensating (718) the adaptive reference, subtracting (722) the motion compensated adaptive reference from the substantially uncompressed image block, and encoding (724) the difference between the substantially uncompressed image block and the motion compensated adaptive reference. Video decoder (400) and corresponding method (800) are also disclosed.
摘要:
There are provided video encoders, video decoders, and corresponding encoding and decoding methods for video data for a picture, wherein the video data has local brightness variation. The video encoder includes an encoder (200) for inter-coding the video data using a localized weighted function to determine weights for the local brightness variation. The weights for the localized weighted function are derived without explicit coding.
