Abstract:
Encoding and decoding is accomplished herein using a multi-reference picture buffer. Reference frames are assigned to reference picture buffers when used for encoding and are identified with picture IDs unique relative to other picture IDs currently associated with the reference picture buffers. The maximum picture number used as the picture ID can be based on a number of reference picture buffers available to encode and decode the frames plus a value based on an expected error rate. The picture IDs can be assigned based on a least recently used policy. When a reference frame is no longer needed for encoding and decoding, a picture ID number associated with the reference frame can be released for re-assignment to a new reference frame.
Abstract:
Edge-selective intra coding may include encoding a first input block, generating a first reconstructed block by decoding the first encoded block, determining a reconstruction error block based on a difference between the first input block and the first reconstructed block, identifying a second input block from the first input frame, and determining a plurality of refined context pixels. Determining a plurality of refined context pixels may include identifying a plurality of context pixels from the reconstruction error block, generating a plurality of encoded context pixels by encoding the plurality of context pixels, generating a plurality of reconstructed context pixels by decoding the plurality of encoded context pixels, and adding at least a portion of the reconstruction error block and the plurality of reconstructed context pixels. The method may include generating a second encoded block by encoding the second input block based on the plurality of refined context pixels.
Abstract:
Conditional predictive multi-symbol run-length coding may include generating a differential residual block based on a residual block and a reconstructed residual block, entropy encoding the differential residual block by determining a symbol order for a plurality of symbols in the differential residual block, grouping the plurality of symbols into at least a first group and a second group based on the symbol order, run-length encoding the plurality of symbols in the differential residual block, by on a condition that a first symbol from the plurality of symbols is associated with the first group, encoding a second symbol from the plurality of symbols, and on a condition that the first symbol is associated with the second group, modifying the second symbol and encoding the modified second symbol.
Abstract:
Second-order orthogonal spatial intra-prediction may include generating a reconstructed frame by generating a plurality of reconstructed blocks by decoding a portion of the current encoded frame, generating a decoded residual block by decoding a current block from the current encoded frame, identifying a current pixel location in the current block, identifying reconstructed pixels in respective reconstructed blocks, wherein first and second reconstructed pixels are at respective oblique angle to the current pixel location, and a third reconstructed pixel at the second oblique angle to the first reconstructed pixel or at the first oblique angle to the second reconstructed pixel, determining a predictor pixel for the current pixel location using a difference between the third reconstructed pixel and a sum of the first reconstructed pixel and the second reconstructed pixel, and identifying a reconstructed pixel as a sum of the predictor pixel and a corresponding residual pixel.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure relates to managing windows in communications between a client device and a host device. It includes obtaining display information for a host device in response to a communication request from a client device, determining, based on the display information for the host device, a primary window to provide for display at the client device and identifying content associated with the primary window. The disclosure further includes determining display specifications of the client device, wherein the display specifications comprise at least one of display size, display type or content download settings and providing the identified content associated with the primary window for display on the client device according to the display specifications of the client device.
Abstract:
A method includes performing, by a microprocessor of a computing device, a coding to obtain a residual of a residual data block from an original data block. The method includes pre-defining a default order of symbols in the residual data block. The method includes re-ordering the symbols in the residual data block in an order other than the default order, such that a first set of most frequently used symbols are in a first location and a second set of least frequently used symbols are in a second location, producing a multi-symbol run-length code based on a group of symbols from the first set of most frequently used symbols, and detecting the second set of least frequently used symbols based on the multi-symbol run-length code.
Abstract:
Blocks of a frame of a video stream can be encoded using lossless inter-frame prediction encoding. The compression ratio of lossless inter-frame encoding can be improved by first examining the magnitude of a motion vector used to perform inter-frame prediction. If the magnitude of the motion vector is small, the residual generated by the inter-prediction can be entropy coded and included in the encoded bitstream. If the magnitude of the motion vector is greater than a threshold, the residual can be encoded using lossy encoding and then decoded and subtracted from the original residual. The resulting difference residual is encoded using lossless encoding and included in the output bitstream along with the lossy encoded residual, permitting the block to be decoded with no loss at a decoder.
Abstract:
Blocks of a frame of a video stream can be encoded using lossless intra-prediction encoding. The compression ratio of lossless intra-prediction encoding can be improved by performing lossy encoding on the intra-predicted residual. The encoded residual is then decoded and the reconstructed residual is subtracted from the original residual. The resulting difference residual is encoded using lossless encoding and included in the output bitstream along with the lossy encoded residual, permitting the block to be decoded with no loss at a decoder.

A method and apparatus for scalable buffer remote access is provided. Scalable buffer remote access may include generating, at a client device, a scalable display buffer request indicating a portion of a display area of an operating environment of a host device and a scaling factor ratio, transmitting the scalable display buffer request to the host device, receiving rendered content including a scaled rendering of a representation of the portion of the display area of the host device, presenting a client display window including the rendered content as a window into the display area of the operating environment of the host device, receiving a zoom indication, and presenting an updated client display window based on the rendered content and the zoom indication or based on updated rendered content received from the host device.
