There are provided methods and apparatus for signaling view scalability in multi-view video coding. An apparatus includes an encoder (100) for encoding at least one picture for at least one view corresponding to multi-view video content in a resultant bitstream. The encoder signals at least one of a view direction and a view level to support view scalability for the at least one view using at least one of a message, a field, a flag, and a syntax element.

Simulating film grain in an encoded image occurs by extracting the film grain and then characterizing the film grain for encoding in a video stream to enable the film grain restoration upon decoding. Typically, the film grain is characterized based either on the type of film, or by using a particular model. In practice, the film grain particulars are transmitted as parallel information to the video coded stream, typically as a film grain Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) message when using the ITU T H.264 video coding standard.

There are provided methods and apparatus for transform selection in video coding. An apparatus includes a video encoder (300) for encoding at least a block in a picture by selecting a transform (329) to apply to a residue of the block from a set of two or more available transforms(325, 326, 327). The transform is selected based on an inter prediction mode used to predict at least one reference for the block.

Methods and apparatus are provided for video coding and decoding with reduced bit-depth update mode and reduced chroma sampling update mode. An apparatus includes an encoder (200) for encoding at least a portion of a picture using at least one of a reduced bit-depth update mode and a reduced chroma sampling update mode that respectively reduces at least one of a bit-depth and a chroma sampling of a residue signal corresponding to the portion.
摘要:
A spatial activity metric for characterizing an image is established, typically based one of the image variance, image gradient or DCT coefficients. The spatial activity metric is then reduced by the amount of the estimated noise in the image so that upon the spatial activity metric in connection with spatial masking, the likelihood of unmasked distortion caused by the presence of noise, such as film grain will be reduced. The effectiveness of such a spatial activity metric can be determined by determining similarity of the measures made by the spatial activity metric for regions in the image of similar texture and by determining the difference in the measures made by the spatial activity metric for regions of different texture in the image.

At least one disclosed method and apparatus relate to inter-view prediction with different resolution reference picture. A particular method includes accessing at least a portion of an encoded picture (614), the encoded picture being from a particular view of multiple views, and the portion being encoded at a particular resolution. The method further includes determining a particular view level based on the particular view (614), determining the particular resolution based on the particular view level (606), and decoding the portion based on the particular resolution (630).

A method is provided for block artifact detection and block artifact determination using multiple features in coded images and video. A method includes identifying (910) a plurality of overlapping blocks in a picture with respect to a current block. Each of the plurality of overlapping blocks covers a portion of the current block and a portion of an adjacent block. The method further includes transforming (920) at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks into respective coefficients corresponding to at least one of a luminance component and a chrominance component. The method also includes identifying (930) a blockartifact for the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks when coefficients corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks are larger than a predefined value. Pixel domaine blockiness detection is also proposed, also in combination with the above transform domain analysis.

There are provided methods and apparatus for video stream splicing. An apparatus includes a spliced video stream generator (1600) for creating a spliced video stream using hypothetical reference decoder parameters. Another apparatus includes a spliced video stream generator (1600) for creating a spliced video stream that prevents decoder buffer overflow and underflow conditions relating to the spliced video stream by modifying standard values of at least one hypothetical reference decoder related high level syntax element.

There are provided methods and apparatus for video coding using prediction data refinement. An apparatus includes an encoder (300) for encoding an image region of a picture. The encoder (300) has a prediction refinement filter (333) for refining at least one of an intra prediction and an inter prediction for the image region. The prediction refinement filter (333) refines the inter prediction for the image region using at least one of previously decoded data and previously encoded data, the previously decoded data and the previously encoded data corresponding to pixel values in neighboring regions with respect to the image region.
