Abstract:
An apparatus for decoding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor operationally coupled to the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store at least one reference picture list of an enhancement layer, the at least one reference picture list comprising residual prediction reference picture information. The processor is configured to: decode signaled information about residual prediction reference picture generation; generate a residual prediction reference picture based on an enhancement layer reference picture and the decoded signaled information such that the generated residual prediction reference picture has the same motion field and the same picture order count (POC) as the enhancement layer reference picture from which it is generated; and store the generated residual prediction reference picture in the at least one reference picture list of the enhancement layer.

An apparatus configured to code video information comprises a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a reference layer (RL) and an enhancement layer (EL). The EL comprises an EL video unit and the RL comprises an RL video unit corresponding to the EL video unit. The processor is configured to perform upsampling and bit-depth conversion on pixel information of the RL video unit in a single combined process to determine predicted pixel information of the EL video unit, and determine the EL video unit using the predicted pixel information.

Systems, methods, and devices for video coding that may receive a rectangular chroma block are disclosed. The rectangular chroma block may be divided into a first square sub-block and a second square sub-block. The systems, methods, and devices may reconstruct the first square sub-block and intra-predict the second square sub-block using reference samples from the reconstructed first square sub-block.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining information about an enhancement layer of digital video based on information included in a base layer of digital video are described. In one innovative aspect, an apparatus for coding digital video is provided. The apparatus includes a memory for storing a base layer of digital video information and an enhancement layer of digital video information. The apparatus determines a syntax element value for a portion of the enhancement layer based on a syntax element value for a corresponding portion of the base layer. Decoding devices and methods as well as corresponding encoding devices and methods are described.
Abstract:
A first reference index value indicates a position, within a reference picture list associated with a current prediction unit (PU) of a current picture, of a first reference picture. A reference index of a co-located PU of a co-located picture indicates a position, within a reference picture list associated with the co-located PU of the co-located picture, of a second reference picture. When the first reference picture and the second reference picture belong to different reference picture types, a video coder sets a reference index of a temporal merging candidate to a second reference index value. The second reference index value is different than the first reference index value.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for coding residual data of a prediction residual block with transform skipping. A transform may be skipped for a residual block when the residual block is coded using either a lossless coding mode or a lossy coding mode in a transform skip mode. According to the techniques, based on a transform being skipped for a residual block, a rotation unit included in a video encoder or a video decoder determines whether to rotate the residual block prior to coding residual data of the residual block. In some examples, a rotation value may be explicitly signaled between the video encoder and the video decoder. In other examples, the video encoder and the video decoder may each independently determine whether to rotate the residual block based on a type of boundary at two or more edges of the residual block.

An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit stores difference video information associated with a difference video layer of pixel information derived from a difference between an enhancement layer and a corresponding base layer of the video information. The processor determines pixel accuracy of motion predictor information, determines a motion vector based on the pixel accuracy of the motion predictor information, and determines a value of a video unit based at least in part on the motion vector.

Abstract:
A video coder, when coding residual data, determines whether to perform SDH for a coefficient group of a chroma transform block independently from determining whether to perform SDH for the coefficient group of the luma transform block.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a video coder for coding video data includes a processor and a memory. The processor selects a filter set from a multiple filter sets for upsampling reference layer video data based at least on a prediction operation mode for enhanced layer video data and upsamples the reference layer video data using the selected filter set. Some of the multiple filter sets have some different filter characteristics from one another, and the upsampled reference layer video data has the same spatial resolution as the enhanced layer video data. The processor further codes the enhanced layer video data based at least on the upsampled reference layer video data and the prediction operation mode. The memory stores the upsampled reference layer video data.
