Abstract:
A video coder, such as a video encoder or a video decoder, uses a first Rice parameter derivation method and a second Rice parameter derivation method for coding coefficient levels of the TU. The first Rice parameter derivation method is a statistics-based derivation method. The second Rice parameter derivation method is a template-based derivation method.
Abstract:
A video coder generates a list of merging candidates for coding a video block of the 3D video. A maximum number of merging candidates in the list of merging candidates may be equal to 6. As part of generating the list of merging candidates, the video coder determines whether a number of merging candidates in the list of merging candidates is less than 5. If so, the video coder derives one or more combined bi-predictive merging candidates. The video coder includes the one or more combined bi-predictive merging candidates in the list of merging candidates.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coder (e.g., a video encoder or a video decoder) is configured to determine that a current block of video data is coded using a disparity motion vector, wherein the current block is within a containing block, based on a determination that a neighboring block to the current block is also within the containing block, substitute a block outside the containing block and that neighbors the containing block for the neighboring block in a candidate list, select a disparity motion vector predictor from one of a plurality of blocks in the candidate list, and code the disparity motion vector based on the disparity motion vector predictor. In this manner, the techniques of this disclosure may allow blocks within the containing block to be coded in parallel.
Abstract:
A device includes one or more processors configured to derive M most probable modes (MPMs) for intra prediction of a block of video data. A syntax element that indicates whether a MPM index or a non-MPM index is used to indicate a selected intra prediction mode of the plurality of intra prediction modes for intra prediction of the block of video data is decoded. The one or more processors are configured such that, based on the MPM index indicating the selected intra prediction mode, the one or more processors decode the non-MPM index. The non-MPM index is encoded in the bitstream as a code word shorter than [log2 N] bits if the non-MPM index satisfies a criterion and is encoded in the bitstream as a fixed length code with [log2 N] bits otherwise. The one or more processors reconstruct the block based on the selected intra prediction mode.
Abstract:
A device includes one or more processors configured to derive, from among a plurality of intra prediction modes, M most probable modes (MPMs) for intra prediction of a block of video data. A syntax element indicating whether a MPM index or a non-MPM index is used to indicate a selected intra prediction mode of the plurality of intra prediction modes for intra prediction of the block of video data is decoded. Based on the indicated one of the MPM index or the non-MPM index being the MPM index, the one or more processors select, for each of one or more context-modeled bins of the MPM index, based on intra prediction modes used to decode one or more neighboring blocks, a context index for the context-modeled bin. The one or more processors reconstruct the block of video data based on the selected intra prediction mode.
Abstract:
A video decoder performs a neighboring-block based disparity vector (NBDV) derivation process to determine a disparity vector or performs a NBDV refinement (NBDV-R) process to determine the disparity vector. The video decoder uses the disparity vector as a disparity vector for a current block without using a median filtering process on multiple disparity motion vectors, wherein the current block is coded in either a skip mode or a direct mode. Furthermore, the video coder determines pixel values for the current block.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for signaling and processing information indicating simplified depth coding (SDC) for depth intra-prediction and depth inter-prediction modes in a 3D video coding process, such as a process defined by the 3D-HEVC extension to HEVC. In some examples, the disclosure describes techniques for unifying the signaling of SDC for depth intra-prediction and depth inter-prediction modes in 3D video coding. The signaling of SDC can be unified so that a video encoder or video decoder uses the same syntax element for signaling SDC for both the depth intra-prediction mode and the depth inter-prediction mode. Also, in some examples, a video coder may and/or process a residual value generated in the SDC mode using the same syntax structure, or same type of syntax structure, for both the depth intra-prediction mode and depth inter-prediction mode.
Abstract:
In an example, a method of processing video data includes splitting a current block of video data into a plurality of sub-blocks for deriving motion information of the current block, where the motion information indicates motion of the current block relative to reference video data. The method also includes deriving, separately for each respective sub-block of the plurality of sub-blocks, motion information comprising performing a motion search for a first set of reference data that corresponds to a second set of reference data outside of each respective sub-block. The method also includes decoding the plurality of sub-blocks based on the derived motion information and without decoding syntax elements representative of the motion information.
Abstract:
Example techniques related to linear model (LM) prediction decoding or encoding are described. A video decoder or video encoder determines which filter to apply from a set of filters to downsample samples of a luma block and generate a predictive block for a corresponding chroma block based on characteristics of the chroma block.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for determining whether a block in a candidate reference picture is available. A video coder may determine a location of a co-located largest coding unit (CLCU) in the candidate reference picture, where the CLCU is co-located with a LCU in a current picture, and the LCU includes a current block that is to be inter-predicted. The video coder may determine whether a block in the candidate reference picture is available based on a location of the block in the candidate reference picture relative to the location of the CLCU. If the block in the candidate reference picture is unavailable, the video coder may derive a disparity vector for the current block from a block other than the block determined to be unavailable.
