Abstract:
A video encoder is configured to encode a binary sting indicating a position of a last significant coefficient within a video block. A video decoder is configured to decode the encoded binary string. The string may be coded using context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). Binary indices of the binary string may be assigned a context. The context may be determined according to a mapping function. A context may be a assigned to one or more binary indices where each index is associated with a different block size. The last binary index of a 16×16 video block may share a context with the last binary index of a 32×32 video block.
Abstract:
In general, techniques are described for reducing the space required to store rate distortion values when selecting from multiple, different prediction modes. A video coding device comprising a processor may perform the techniques. The processor may determine first and second sets of intra-prediction modes for a current block of video data. The first and second sets of intra-prediction modes may include less intra-prediction modes, collectively, than a total number of intra-prediction modes. The processor may compute an approximate cost for each intra-prediction mode included in the first and second sets of intra-prediction modes. The processor may store the approximate cost for each intra-prediction mode identified in the first and second sets of intra-prediction modes to a memory. The processor may perform intra-prediction to encode the current block using a mode identified in at least one of the first or second set.
Abstract:
In one example, a device for coding video data includes a video coder configured to configured to code information representative of whether an absolute value of an x-component of a motion vector difference value for a current block of video data is greater than zero, code information representative of whether an absolute value of a y-component of the motion vector difference value is greater than zero, when the absolute value of the x-component is greater than zero, code information representative of the absolute value of the x-component, when the absolute value of the y-component is greater than zero, code information representative of the absolute value of the y-component, when the absolute value of the x-component is greater than zero, code a sign of the x-component, and when the absolute value of the y-component is greater than zero, code a sign of the y-component.
Abstract:
The techniques of this disclosure are generally related to parallel coding of video units that reside along rows or columns of blocks in largest coding units. For example, the techniques include removing intra-prediction dependencies between two video units in different rows or columns to allow for parallel coding of rows or columns of the video units.
Abstract:
This disclosure proposes various techniques for limiting the number of bins that are coded using an adaptive context model with context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). In particular, this disclosure proposes to limit the number of bins that use CABAC for coding level information of transform coefficients in a video coding process.
Abstract:
In an example, aspects of this disclosure relate to a process for video coding that includes determining that a set of support for selecting a context model to code a current significant coefficient flag of a transform coefficient of a block of video data includes at least one significant coefficient flag that is not available. The process also includes, based on the determination, modifying the set of support, and calculating a context for the current significant coefficient flag using the modified set of support. The process also includes applying context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) to code the current significant coefficient flag based on the calculated context.
Abstract:
A video encoder is configured to determine a first and second binary string for a value indicating the position of the last significant coefficient, within a video block of size T. A video decoder is configured to determine a value indicating the position of a last significant coefficient within a video block of size T based on a first and second binary string. In one example, the first binary string is based on a truncated unary coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by 2 log2(T)−1 and the second binary string is based on a fixed length coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by log2(T)−2.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding video data. In an example an intra-mode for predicting a current block of video data and most probable intra-modes (MPMs) for predicting the current block of video data may be determined. MPMs for predicting the current block of video data may be determined. An index for each of the MPMs based on an order in which the intra-mode for predicting the current block is compared to the MPMs may be determined. When one of the MPMs for predicting the current block matches the intra-mode for predicting the current block, the index of the matching MPM.

A reduction in the number of binarizations and/or contexts used in context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) for video coding is proposed. In particular, this disclosure proposes techniques that may lower the number contexts used in CABAC by up to 56.
