摘要:
In digital video image encoding and decoding, a filter type is selected based on symmetrical properties of the images and coefficient values of an interpolation filter are calculated based on the selected filter type. Coefficient values, filter tap-length and selected filter-type are provided in the encoded video data. Coefficient values are also calculated based on a prediction signal representative of the different between a video frame and a reference image. The prediction signal is calculated from the reference image based on a predefined base filter and motion estimation performed on the video frame. The predefined base filter has fixed coefficient values. Coefficient values are selected from interpolation of pixel values in a selected image segment in the video frame. Symmetry properties of images can be a vertical symmetry, a horizontal symmetry and a combination thereof, so that only a portion of the filter coefficients are coded.
摘要:
A system and method for enabling parallel decoder implementation for different views, even when there are existing dependencies between views. In various embodiments of the present invention, information is signaled to a decoder that slices are coded using certain constraints, so that parallel decoding of slices is possible. This signaling can be performed at a sequence parameter set level, or it could be performed at picture parameter set level, slice header level or macroblock header level. Additionally, the delay between various views is also signaled to the decoder, at the same location as the constraint information in various embodiments. Various algorithms can also be used to improve the coding efficiency of the system.
