In one aspect, an encoder/decoder selects a bitplane mode from a group of plural available bitplane modes, and processes a bitplane according to the selected bitplane mode, wherein the bitplane indicates AC prediction status information for plural macroblocks of a video picture. In another aspect, an encoder encodes a bitplane that indicates AC prediction status information for plural macroblocks of a video picture and signals the encoded bitplane. In another aspect, a decoder receives an encoded bitplane and decodes the bitplane, wherein the bitplane indicates AC prediction status information for plural macroblocks of a video picture.

A video codec provides for encoding and decoding pictures of a video sequence at various coded resolutions, such that pictures can be encoded at lower coded resolutions based on bit rate or other constraints while maintaining a consistent display resolution. The video codec further provide for encoding and decoding pictures of the video sequence at ranges lower than that used for display, and then expanding the range after decoding for display. The video codec applies post-processing operations, such as de-blocking, de-ringing, and color conversion, at the native resolution and range of the decoded video, prior to range expansion and upsampling for display.

Techniques and tools for using motion vector block patterns in video encoding and decoding are described. In general, a motion vector block pattern signals the presence or absence of motion vector data for a macroblock with multiple motion vectors. For example, a video decoder decodes variable length codes that represent motion vector block patterns. Each motion vector block pattern has one bit per corresponding luminance motion vector of a macroblock with multiple luminance motion vectors, where the one bit indicates whether or not motion vector data for the corresponding luminance motion vector is signaled. A video encoder performs corresponding encoding.

An encoder/decoder obtains pixel data from one or more field lines associated with a first block in an interlaced frame coded picture comprising plural macroblocks each having an equal number of top and bottom field lines. The encoder/decoder obtains pixel data from one or more field lines associated with a second block and performs in-loop deblocking filtering across a boundary. The in-loop deblocking filtering comprises filter operations performed on pixel data from field lines of same polarity only. In another aspect, an encoder/decoder obtains transform size information for plural blocks of macroblock, obtains field/frame type information for the macroblock and selects one or more boundaries for in-loop deblocking based at least in part on the transform size information and the field/frame type information. In-loop deblocking can be performed on horizontal block boundaries prior to vertical block boundaries.
摘要:
A video codec provides for encoding and decoding pictures of a video sequence at various coded resolutions, such that pictures can be encoded at lower coded resolutions based on bit rate or other constraints while maintaining a consistent display resolution. The video codec employs a coding syntax where a maximum coded resolution is signaled at the sequence level of the syntax hierarchy, whereas a lower coded resolution is signaled at the entry point level for a segment of one or more intra-coded frames and frames predictively encoded based thereon. This allows the use of a separate out-of-loop resampler after the decoder to up-sample the pictures to the display resolution.
摘要:
Techniques and tools for bitstream-controlled filtering are described. For example, a video encoder puts control information into a bitstream for encoded video. A video decoder decodes the encoded video and, according to the control information, performs post-processing filtering on the decoded video with a de-ringing and/or de-blocking filter. Typically, a content author specifies the control information to the encoder. The control information itself is post-processing filter levels, filter selections, and/or some other type of information. In the bitstream, the control information is specified for a sequence, scene, frame, region within a frame, or at some other syntax level.
摘要:
A decoder decodes skipped macroblocks of an interlaced frame. Skipped macroblocks use exactly one motion vector and have no motion vector differential information, and lack residual information. The skipped macroblock signal indicates one-motion-vector coding. The skipped macroblock signal can be a compressed bitplane (in a selected bitplane coding mode) sent at frame layer in a bitstream, or an individual bit sent at macroblock layer. In another aspect, an encoder jointly encodes motion compensation type and field/frame coding type for a macroblock in an interlaced P-frame. The encoder also can jointly encode other information for the macroblock (e.g., the presence of a differential motion vector). A decoder decodes a joint code (e.g., a variable length code in a variable length code table) to obtain both motion compensation type and field/frame coding type (and potentially other information) for the macroblock.
摘要:
Techniques and tools for code table selection and joint coding/decoding of macroblock mode information for macroblocks of interlaced forward-predicted frames are described. For example, a video decoder decodes a variable length code that jointly signals macroblock mode information for a motion-compensated macroblock. The jointly signaled information includes a macroblock type, whether a coded block pattern is present or absent, and whether motion vector data is present or absent for the motion-compensated macroblock. A video encoder performs corresponding encoding.
摘要:
With adaptive multiple quantization, a video or other digital media codec can adaptively select among multiple quantizers to apply to transform coefficients based on content or bit rate constraints, so as to improve quality through rate-distortion optimization. The switch in quantizers can be signaled at the sequence level or frame level of the bitstream syntax, or can be implicitly specified in the syntax.
摘要:
In one aspect, for a first interlaced video frame in a video sequence, a decoder decodes a bitplane signaled at frame layer for the first interlaced video frame. The bitplane represents field/frame transform types for plural macroblocks of the first interlaced video frame. For a second interlaced video frame in the video sequence, for each of at least one but not all of plural macroblocks of the second interlaced video frame, the decoder processes a per macroblock field/frame transform type bit signaled at macroblock layer. An encoder performs corresponding encoding.
