    Abstract: An embodiment improves the operation of a H.264 and Joint Scalable Video Codec (e.g., JSVC/H.264 Amendment 3) video decoder by managing neighboring block data during the decoding process. An embodiment pre-computes neighboring block tables to efficiently locate the neighboring block data required to decode a current macroblock. In particular, the pre-computed most probable joint neighboring block tables disclosed herein handle both macroblock adaptive frame field (MBAFF) coding and non-MBAFF coding. An embodiment is further capable of managing variable block sizes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for performing luma-based chroma ultra prediction are described. Down-sample filters may be applied to luma values of luma pixel positions to generate reconstructed luma values for chroma pixel positions in a prediction unit of an intra frame. The down-sampled reconstructed luma values may then be used to predict chroma values for the chroma pixel positions. In some implementations, a reconstructed luma value of a chroma position may be used to predict that position's chroma value. In other implementations, reconstructed luma values of neighboring chroma pixel positions may be analyzed to adaptively predict a chroma value for a chroma pixel position.

    Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to determine parameters of an adaptive Wiener filter to apply to a video region. The following parameters of the Wiener filter may be adjusted: coefficients, coefficient quantization, filter type, filter size, prediction mode, entropy encoding, and number of filter tables. The parameters associated with the lowest rate distortion cost of the encoder are selected for transmission with the encoded video. If not using adaptive Wiener filtering results in a lowest rate distortion cost, then adaptive Wiener filtering is not used for the video region. If using adaptive Wiener filtering results in a lowest rate distortion cost, then the parameters applied by the adaptive Wiener filtering that result in the lowest rate distortion cost are communicated with the filtered video region.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products that can be used to determine a search range (SR) when performing motion estimation at, for example, a video encoder or decoder. Determining a motion vector for a current block during motion estimation may involve searching within a search window that may reside in a reference frame, or in a previously decoded block that spatially or temporally neighbors the current block. Such a search seeks a motion vector that minimizes a metric, such as a sum of absolute differences between corresponding blocks of reference frames. A motion vector that minimizes such a metric may be a good candidate for use in motion estimation. The search may become more efficient if a search range is determined such that the extent of the search is bounded. A search range may be determined at the block level or at the picture level.

    Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to either compress or expand video. Color compression techniques are described that can be used to compress the wide color gamut content into lower color gamut for inclusion in a baseline layer. Color expansion techniques are described that convert lower color gamut data into wider color gamut format for inclusion in an enhancement layer. Both of the baseline video stream and enhancement layer video streams may be transmitted through a channel or stored in a memory device to be viewed later. Accordingly, both baseline and enhancement video layers are available so that either lower or higher quality displays can be used to display video.
