Abstract: Techniques for encoding video with motion compensation include a compressed bitstream syntax that includes a list of all motion prediction reference frames without distinguishing between short-term reference frame and long-term reference frames. The list of reference frames may be provided in a slice header and may apply to encoded data video data within the corresponding slice. The list may be prefaced with a single number indicating the total number of reference frames. In an aspect delta POC reference numbers may be encoded with a flag indicating the sign of the delta POC when the absolute value of the POC is not equal to zero. In another aspect, a flag may be encoded for every reference frame indicating if POC information should be used when scaling prediction references, and a weighting parameter may be included when POC information should be used.

Abstract: Improved video coding techniques include deriving prediction pixel blocks for use in intra-coding video and combined inter- and intra-coding video. In a first aspect, the techniques may include deriving value(s) for pixel location(s) of the prediction pixel block by, when a prediction direction vector assigned to the prediction vector points to quadrants I or III of a Cartesian plane, deriving the pixel location's value from pixel values in two regions of previously-decoded pixel data intercepted by extending the prediction direction vector in two opposite directions through the pixel location. When the prediction direction vector points toward quadrants II of the Cartesian plane, deriving the pixel location's value from pixel values in one region intercepted by the prediction direction vector through the pixel location, and from a second region intercepted by a vector that is orthogonal to the prediction direction vector.

Abstract: A multi-stage coding method includes receiving an input block of data for encoding and one or more previously coded samples associated with the input block. The input block is segmented into at least a first sub-region and a second sub-region. A prediction for the first sub-region is generated based on the one or more previously coded samples. Residual data for the first sub-region is obtained using the prediction for the first sub-region. A reconstruction of the first sub-region is generated using the residual data for the first sub-region and the prediction for the first sub-region. A prediction for the second sub-region is generated using the reconstruction of the first sub-region. Residual data for the second sub-region is obtained using the prediction for the second sub-region. The input block is encoded based in part on the residual data for the first region and the residual data for the second region.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coding image data adaptively at different levels of downscaling. Such techniques may involve partitioning input data into pixel blocks for coding and performing content analysis on the pixel blocks. The pixel blocks may be input to block coders that operate at different pixel block sizes, which may code the pixel blocks input to them at their respective sizes. Except when a block coder operates at the partitioning size, block coders that operate at different pixel block sizes may perform downscaling of the pixel blocks to match their size with the block coders' respective coding size. A block decoder may invert the coding operations performed by the block coders, decoding coded image data at respective pixel block sizes, then upscaling decoded image data obtained therefrom to a common pixel block size. Image reconstruction may synthesize a resultant image from the decode pixel block data output by the decoders. Quality enhancements may be added by neural network processing systems that have been trained to other segmented images.

Abstract: Predictive coding techniques may include resampling of reference pictures, where various coding parameters are determined based on the resolution(s) or pixel format(s) of the prediction references. In a first aspect, lists of weights for use in weighted prediction are based on the resolution(s) of prediction references. In a second aspect, resampling filter parameters are selected based on the resolutions of prediction references. In a third aspect, deblocking filter parameters are based on the resolution(s) of prediction references.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of generating a bit stream encoding a video stream is performed by a device including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes decomposing a video stream into a plurality of frequency band video streams. The method includes determining a target bitrate and determining, for each frequency band video stream, a respective frequency band bit rate based on the target bit rate. The method includes encoding each of the plurality of frequency band video streams at its respective frequency band bit rate and transmitting, over a channel, each encoded frequency band video stream.

Abstract: Techniques for coding and decoding video may include predicting picture regions defined by a time-varying tessellation and/or by a tessellation that varies spatially within a picture. These techniques improve decoded video quality, for example, by reducing block-based visual artifacts. Tessellation patterns may be irregular spatially to prevent alignment of some prediction region boundaries within a picture. Tessellation patterns may vary over time based on a spatial offset value, and the spatial offset value may be determined via a modulo function. Tessellation patterns may include overlapped shapes, for example when used in conjunction with overlapped block motion compensation.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of encoding an image is performed at a device including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes determining a category of a spatial portion of an image based on a relation between a plurality of thresholds associated with a plurality of quantization scaling parameters and a bit rate of the spatial portion of the image at the plurality of quantization scaling parameters.
