    Abstract: Adaptive control can use hierarchical motion estimation (HME) and/or multiple reference motion estimation (MRME) for the motion estimation of current encoding blocks. Both HME and MRME are allowed in the motion estimation to achieve a high coding gain. Control consists of slice level control and macro-block (MB) level control. A slice is one or more contiguous macroblocks. In slice level control, it is decided to use only one reference frame or use multiple reference frames to coding current slice based on the motion vectors obtained in coarse level motion estimation. In MB level control, it is decided to perform MRME or perform HME for the MB and its subblocks based on the coarse level motion vectors of the MB.

    Abstract: Reconstructed picture quality for a video codec system may be improved by categorizing reconstructed pixels into different histogram bins with histogram segmentation and then applying different filters on different bins. Histogram segmentation may be performed by averagely dividing the histogram into M bins or adaptively dividing the histogram into N bins based on the histogram characteristics. Here M and N may be a predefined, fixed, non-negative integer value or an adaptively generated value at encoder side and may be sent to decoder through the coded bitstream.

    Abstract translation: 通过将重建的像素分类为具有直方图分割的不同的直方图箱,然后在不同的箱上应用不同的过滤器,可以改进用于视频编解码器系统的重构图像质量。 直方图分割可以通过将直方图平均地划分成M个箱或者基于直方图特征将直方图自适应地划分成N个箱来执行。 这里M和N可以是编码器侧的预定义的,固定的,非负整数值或自适应产生的值,并且可以通过编码比特流发送到解码器。

    CPC classification number: G06T5/40 G06K9/38 G06T2207/10016 G06T2207/10024

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed involving contrast adjustment for images. For example, an input image is classified based on its pixel value characteristics, as expressed in an input brightness histogram. From such a classification, a target histogram distribution for a corresponding output image (i.e., a contrast-adjusted transformation of the input image) may be specified. With the target histogram of the output image specified, a transformation function may be derived that maps input image values to output image values. Moreover, transitions of such transformation functions may be smoothed. Such smoothing may provide advantages, such as a reduction in flickering associated with video data.

    Abstract: Methods and systems to apply motion estimation (ME) based on reconstructed reference pictures in a B frame or in a P frame at a video decoder. For a P frame, projective ME may be performed to obtain a motion vector (MV) for a current input block. In a B frame, both projective ME and mirror ME may be performed to obtain an MV for the current input block. The ME process can be performed on sub-partitions of the input block, which may reduce the prediction error without increasing the amount of MV information in the bitstream. Decoder-side ME can be applied for the prediction of existing inter frame coding modes, and traditional ME or the decoder-side ME can be adaptively selected to predict a coding mode based on a rate distribution optimization (RDO) criterion.
