摘要:
Techniques to identify one or more candidate reference blocks used to generate a prediction block to encode a current coding block. The candidate reference blocks can be in the same layer as the current coding block or a different layer. In addition, the candidate reference blocks do not have to be co-located with the current coding block. Motion vectors and shift vectors can be used to identify the one or more candidate reference blocks. In addition, uniform and non-uniform weighting can be applied to the one or more candidate reference blocks to generate the prediction block. Accordingly, an encoder can determine and identify reference blocks to a decoder that can provide desirable rate-distortion cost.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for the generation of multiple layers of scaled encoded video data compatible with the HEVC standard. Residue from prediction processing may be transformed into coefficients in the frequency domain. The coefficients may then be sampled to create a layer of encoded data. The coefficients may be sampled in different ways to create multiple respective layers. The layers may then be multiplexed and sent to a decoder. There, one or more of the layers may be chosen. The choice of certain layer(s) may be dependent on the desired attributes of the resulting video. A certain level of video quality, frame rate, resolution, and/or bit depth may be desired, for example. The coefficients in the chosen layers may then be assembled to create a version of the residue to be used in video decoding.

A video encoder may use an adaptive Wiener filter inside the core video encoding loop to improve coding efficiency. In one embodiment, the Wiener filter may be on the input to a motion estimation unit and, in another embodiment, it may be on the output of a motion compensation unit. The taps for the Wiener filter may be determined based on characteristics of at least a region of pixel intensities within a picture. Thus, the filtering may be adaptive in that it varies based on the type of video being processed.

A scalable video codec may convert lower bit depth video to higher bit depth video using decoded lower bit depth video for tone mapping and tone mapping derivation. The conversion can also use the filtered lower bit depth video for tone mapping and tone mapping derivation.
