    摘要: In the H.264/AVC standard, one of the new characteristics is the possibility of dividing an image in regions called slice groups. The use of slice groups provides various possible advantages such as prioritized transmission, error resilient transmission, and etc. The slice groups can be formed by flexible macroblock ordering (FMO), where each picture can be divided into slice groups in different scan patterns of the macroblocks. In the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) under development, a more flexible block structure, called coding unit (CU), is used as the unit to process video data. The picture is first divided into largest CUs (LCUs) and each LCU is adaptively split into smaller CUs using a quadtree until leaf CUs are reached. In the current HEVC development, there is neither slice nor slice group structure being considered. The LCU size used for HEVC is 16 times as large as the macroblock size used in the H.264/AVC standard. Therefore, it is very desirable to develop slice and slice group structure suited for HEVC to offer various benefits of error resilience, parallel processing, reduced line (row) buffer requirement, and etc. Accordingly, slice group types including raster scan type, vertical stripe type, regions of interest type and full flexibility type are developed for HEVC. Furthermore, various syntax elements are incorporated in the sequence header or the picture header to convey information associated with the slice group structure.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for deblocking of reconstructed video are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method divides a block boundary into two sub-boundaries and separates lines or column across the sub-boundaries into two groups. The deblocking filter decision for each group is determined based on the lines or columns in the respective group. In another embodiment, the method divides block edges of blocks in the LCUs into two edge groups, where the first edge group corresponds to horizontal block edges between two LCUs and the second edge group corresponds to remaining block edges not included in the first edge group. The number of lines processed by a vertical filter in the first edge group is less than the number of lines processed by a vertical filter in the second edge group. Accordingly, a system embodying the present invention has reduced storage requirement.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for video coding based on flexible slice structure are disclosed. In the recent high efficiency video coding (HEVC) development, the slice may contain multiple LCUs instead of macroblocks. The LCU size being considered is 64×64 pixels which is much larger than the macroblock size of 16×16 pixels. Compared with the macroblock aligned slice for H.264, the LCU-aligned slice for HEVC does not provide enough granularities for dividing video frames. Consequently, a flexible slice structure is developed where slice partition is based on smaller coding units. In the flexible slice structure, the first LCU and the last LCU of the slice are allowed to be a fractional LCU, which is derived from a whole LCU using quadtree partition. Syntax elements are also developed to enable conveyance of flexible slice structure between an encoder and a decoder efficiently.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for video processing of reconstructed video in a reconstruction loop are disclosed. An embodiment according to the present invention performs padding for the blocks in the slice boundaries according to a processing order. Each of the one or more reconstructed blocks at slice boundaries is padded according to a padding order. In-loop filtering is applied to the reconstructed slice according to the processing order, wherein the reconstructed slice is filtered by referencing the one or more padded blocks. The padding order can be vertical-edge first and then horizontal-edge, or horizontal-edge first and then vertical-edge. Various embodiments are disclosed regarding whether padding for a later padded block in the processing order is skipped or not in the overlapped area. The present invention is also applied to adaptation blocks for block-based in-loop filtering in slice boundaries.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for video coding having intra-slice deblocking, intra-slice adaptive loop filter, and intra-slice adaptive offset are disclosed. In a video coding system, a picture is often divided into slices and each slice is independently processed so that errors or missing data from one slice cannot propagate to any other slice within the picture. In the recent high efficiency video coding (HEVC) development, deblock filtering (DF), adaptive loop filter (ALF) and adaptive offset (AO) may be applied to reconstructed slices. When the processing is applied across slice boundaries, it may rely on pixels outside the current slice and cause dependency of the current slice on other slice(s). Consequently, the DF/ALF/AO processing on a reconstructed slice may have to wait until the reconstructed slices that it is dependent from complete the DF/ALF/AO processing. To overcome the slice boundary issue, intra-slice DF/ALF/AO is developed that does not rely on any pixel outside the currently slice. An optional slice boundary filter may be applied to slice boundaries after all slices are processed by the intra-slice DF/ALF/AO.

    摘要: A method of optical proximity correction (OPC) convergence control that includes providing a lithography system having a photomask and an illuminator. The method further includes performing an exposure by the illuminator on the photomask. Also, the method includes optimizing an optical illuminator setting for the lithography system with a defined gate pitch in a first direction in a first template. Additionally, the method includes determining OPC correctors to converge the OPC results with a target edge placement error (EPE) to produce a first OPC setting for the first template. The first OPC setting targets a relatively small EPE and mask error enhancement factor (MEEF)of the defined gate pitch in the first template. In addition, the method includes checking the first OPC setting for a relatively small EPE, MEEF and DOM consistency with the first template of the defined gate pitch in a second, adjacent template.
