摘要:
Apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data are described. A method of processing multimedia data includes classifying content of multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data in a first data group and in a second data group based on the content classification. The first and second groups are associated with quality levels. A user can request a target quality level.

Adaptive video encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses for encoder-assisted frame rate up-conversion (EA-FRUC) are described herein. An encoder selectively encodes at least a portion of a video frame, such as a block, using an interpolated FRUC frame as a reference. The encoder interpolates at least a portion of the FRUC frame at the same time instance as the yet to be encoded video frame, and selects one of a plurality of FRUC encoding modes for that portion, e.g., based on rate distortion (RD). The encoder encodes the frame using the selected FRUC encoding mode, the FRUC reference frame, and any additional reference frames that may be indicated. A decoder interpolates the FRUC frame and uses it for decoding with knowledge of the particular FRUC mode that was used by the encoder. The encoder communicates the FRUC mode for a block via one or more existing parameters in the encoded video frame.

摘要:
The invention generally relates to multimedia data processing, and more particularly, to processing operations performed prior to or in conjunction with data compression processing. A method of processing multimedia data includes receiving interlaced video frames, obtaining metadata for the interlaced video frames, converting the interlaced video frames to progressive video using at least a portion of the metadata; and providing the progressive video and at least a portion of the metadata to an encoder for use in encoding the progressive video. The method can also include generating spatial information and bi-directional motion information, for the interlaced video frames, and generating progressive video based on the interlaced video frames using the spatial and bi-directional motion information.

Apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data are described. A method of processing multimedia data includes classifying content of multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data in a first data group and in a second data group based on the content classification, wherein the first data group comprises a coefficient and the second data group comprises a first differential refinement associated with the first data group coefficient. An apparatus for using content information for encoding multimedia data includes a content classifying module configured to classify content of multimedia data and provide content classification data, and an encoder configured to encode the multimedia data in a first data group and in a second data group based on the content classification, wherein the first data group comprises a coefficient and the second data group comprises a first differential refinement associated with the first data group coefficient.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods of using content information for encoding multimedia data are described. A method of processing multimedia data includes receiving multimedia data, and encoding the multimedia data into a first data group and a second data group based on content of the multimedia data, the first data group being configured to be independently decodable from the second data group, and wherein the first and second data groups are encoded at different quality levels. The method can also include classifying the content of the multimedia data and encoding the multimedia data based on the content classification.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus to process multimedia data enabling faster channel acquisitions, improved error recovery and improved efficiency. An encoder device encodes a first portion of multimedia data using inter-coding to generate a first version, and encodes the first portion of multimedia data using intra-coding to generate a second version. A decoder device receives a first version of a first portion of multimedia data, wherein the first version is inter-coded, receives a second version of the first portion of multimedia data, wherein the second version is intra-coded, and selectively decodes the first and second received versions.

This disclosure is directed to techniques for encoding and decoding transitional effects, i.e., visual video effects that are used to transition from a current scene of a multimedia sequence. According to the disclosed techniques, an encoding device detects a transitional effect associated with a multimedia sequence during the encoding of the multimedia sequence, and transmits information as part of an encoded multimedia sequence to identify the transitional effect associated with the encoded multimedia sequence to a decoder. The information may comprise metadata that can be used by the decoder to simulate or re-create the transitional effect. The decoder simulates a transitional effect in response to the information.
摘要:
In general, this disclosure describes video processing techniques that make use of syntax elements and semantics to support low complexity extensions for multimedia processing with video scalability. The syntax elements and semantics may be added to network abstraction layer (NAL) units and may be especially applicable to multimedia broadcasting, and define a bitstream format and encoding process that support low complexity video scalability. In some aspects, the techniques may be applied to implement low complexity video scalability extensions for devices that otherwise conform to the H.264 standard. For example, the syntax element and semantics may be applicable to NAL units conforming to the H.264 standard.
