    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for using residual metrics for encoder rate control are disclosed. An encoder includes a mode decision unit for determining a mode to be used for generating a predictive block for each block of a video frame. For each block, control logic calculates a residual of the block by comparing an original version of the block to the predictive block. The control logic generates a residual metric based on the residual and based on the mode. The encoder's rate controller selects a quantization strength setting for the block based on the residual metric. Then, the encoder generates an encoded block that represents the input block by encoding the block with the selected quantization strength setting. Next, the encoder conveys the encoded block to a decoder to be displayed. The encoder repeats this process for each block of the frame.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for encoding bitstreams of uniquely rendered video frames with variable frame rates are disclosed. A rendering unit and an encoder in a server are coupled via a network to a client with a decoder. The rendering unit dynamically adjusts the frame rate of uniquely rendered frames. Depending on the operating mode, the rendering unit conveys a constant frame rate to the encoder by repeating some frames or the rendering unit conveys a variable frame rate to the encoder by conveying only uniquely rendered frames to the encoder. Depending on the operating mode, the encoder conveys a constant frame rate bitstream to the decoder by encoding repeated frames as skip frames, or the encoder conveys a variable frame rate bitstream to the decoder by dropping repeated frames from the bitstream.

    Abstract: A processing system selectively renders pixels or blocks of pixels of an image and leaves some pixels or blocks of pixels unrendered to conserve resources. The processing system generates a motion vector field to identify regions of an image having moving areas. The processing system uses a rendering processor to identify as regions of interest those units having little to no motion, based on the motion vector field, and a large amount of edge activity, and to minimize the probability of unrendered pixels, or “holes”, in these regions. To avoid noticeable patterns, the rendering processor applies a probability map to determine the possible locations of holes, assigning to each unit a probability indicating the percentage of pixels within the unit that will be holes, and assigning a lower probability to units identified as regions of interest.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for adaptive use-case based filtering of compressed video streams are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes at least a display and a processor coupled to at least one memory device. The system is configured to receive a compressed video stream. For each received frame of the compressed video stream, the system decompresses the compressed video frame into an unfiltered frame. Then, the system can utilize a first filter to filter the unfiltered frame to generate a filtered frame. In one embodiment, the first filter is a de-blocking filter (DBF) combined with a sample adaptive offset (SAO) filter. Also, in this embodiment, the first filter is compliant with a video compression standard. The unfiltered frame and the filtered frame are provided as inputs to a second filter which performs a use-case specific de-noising of the inputs to generate a de-noised frame with reduced artifacts.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for improving signal quality. The method includes receiving a first media signal, such as a video signal, in a first format, such as 1080p. The provided video signal is one that is created by upsampling a video signal recorded in a format having a lower sampling rate. The method also includes obtaining a second signal indicative of error within the first media signal. The second signal is in a second format, such as the format having a lower sampling rage in which the video signal was recorded. The signal is processed to place the second signal in the format of the first signal. Then, the estimated error signal is combined with the original signal to arrive at an error corrected output.

    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for modifying gradation in an image frame determine a blend factor indicating a first weighting associated with a previously processed portion of the image frame. The apparatus and methods generate a weighted value associated with a current region of the image frame based on the current region of the image frame and based on applying the first weighting to the previously processed portion of the image frame so as to modify the gradation in the image frame.
