A method of decoding 360-degree video, including receiving video data indicative of a 360-degree video picture projected onto a 2D picture, the 2D picture being divided into a plurality of blocks, predicting a first of the blocks of the 2D picture, and deblock filtering pixels along a border of the first of the blocks based on the position of the border between the first of the blocks and a second of the blocks in the 360-degree video picture.
Abstract:
A method of processing video data includes receiving 360-degree video data, receiving one or more first syntax elements indicating preferred regions-of-interest or preferred viewports of the 360-degree video data, receiving one or more second syntax elements that indicate a preferred rendering operation for rendering the preferred regions-of-interest or preferred viewports, and rendering the 360-degree video data based on the preferred rendering operations.
Abstract:
A device for encoding video data may be configured to encode video data according to a set of sample adaptive offset (SAO) types; perform a plurality of coding passes to test a subset of the SAO types for a first block of video data, wherein the subset is smaller than the set; select from the subset of SAO types an SAO type for the first block of video data; and generate for inclusion in an encoded bitstream, information for identifying the selected SAO type for the first block.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coding device is configured to intra-predict a block of video data, using values of pixels along a primary boundary of the block, to form a predicted block, determine whether to filter the predicted block using data of a secondary boundary of the block, and filter the predicted block using data of the secondary boundary in response to determining to filter the predicted block. The video coding device may determine whether to filter the predicted block based on a comparison of a Laplacian value or a gradient difference value to a threshold. The determination of whether to filter the predicted block may be based at least in part on a boundary relationship, e.g., the relationship of one boundary to another, or of a boundary to pixel values of the predicted block.

Abstract:
In an example, a method of processing data includes transmitting data over a network at a first bit rate, identifying a reduction in a network link rate of the network from a first network link rate to a second network link rate, and in response to identifying the reduction in the network link rate, determining a recovery bit rate at which to transmit the data over the network, where the recovery bit rate is less than the second network link rate. The method also includes determining a buffering duration based on a difference between a time of the identification of the reduction in the network link rate and an estimated actual time of the reduction in the network link rate, and determining a recovery rate duration during which to transmit the data at the recovery bit rate based on the recovery bit rate and the buffering duration.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for performing sample adaptive offset signaling and coding in a video coding process. Techniques of the disclosure include both a merge-based and prediction-based signaling process for sample adaptive offset information (i.e., offset values and offset type). The techniques includes determining offset information for a current partition, comparing the offset information of the current partition with offset information of one or more neighbor partitions, coding a merge instruction in the case that the offset information of one of the one or more neighbor partitions is the same as the offset information of the current partition, and coding one of a plurality of prediction instructions in the case that the offset information of the one or more neighbor partitions is not the same as the offset information of the current partition.
