    Abstract: A method of signaling additional chroma QP offset values that are specific to quantization groups is provided, in which each quantization group explicitly specifies its own set of chroma QP offset values. Alternatively, a table of possible sets of chroma QP offset values is specified in the header area of the picture, and each quantization group uses an index to select an entry from the table for determining its own set of chroma QP offset values. The quantization group specific chroma QP offset values are then used to determine the chroma QP values for blocks within the quantization group in addition to chroma QP offset values already specified for higher levels of the video coding hierarchy.

    Abstract: In a communication system, parallel encoding and decoding of serially-coded data occurs in a manner that supports low latency communication. A plurality of data items may be coded as serially-coded data sequences and a transmission sequence may be built from them. An index table may be built having a plurality of entries representing respective start points of the serially-coded data sequences within the transmission sequence. The transmission sequence may be transmitted to a channel and, thereafter, the index table may be transmitted. Latencies otherwise involved in inserting an index table into the beginning of a transmission sequence may be avoided.

    Abstract: An encoder system may include an analyzer that analyzes a current image area in an input video to select a transform. A selectable residue transformer, controlled by the analyzer, may perform the selectable transform on a residue image generated from the current image area and a predicted current image area, to generate a transformed residue image. An encoder may encode the transformed residue image to generate output data. The analyzer controls the encoder to encode information to identify the selectable transform and to indicate that the selectable transform for the current image area is different from a transform of a previous image area of the input video. A decoder system may include components appropriate for decoding the output data from the encoder system.

    Abstract: A video encoding and decoding system that implements an adaptive transfer function method internally within the codec for signal representation. A focus dynamic range representing an effective dynamic range of the human visual system may be dynamically determined for each scene, sequence, frame, or region of input video. The video data may be cropped and quantized into the bit depth of the codec according to a transfer function for encoding within the codec. The transfer function may be the same as the transfer function of the input video data or may be a transfer function internal to the codec. The encoded video data may be decoded and expanded into the dynamic range of display(s). The adaptive transfer function method enables the codec to use fewer bits for the internal representation of the signal while still representing the entire dynamic range of the signal in output.

    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress and encode data for a three-dimensional dynamic mesh. The three-dimensional dynamic mesh is compressed and signaled using a base-mesh sub-bitstream and an atlas sub-bitstream (e.g., displacement and/or attribute sub-bitstream). The atlas sub-bitstream comprises displacement information to be applied at sub-division points of the base mesh to recreate the three-dimensional dynamic mesh at a given moment in time and may also include attribute values, such as colors, textures, etc. to be applied to the reconstructed mesh. Sub-mesh identifiers are included in tile headers of an atlas sub-bitstream that enable selective reconstruction of sub-meshes. A complimentary decoder decodes a compressed bitstream for the three-dimensional dynamic mesh, encoded such as by the encoder.
