Abstract:
Described herein are techniques related to re-use of filter parameters, and particularly Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) parameters, of a lower-layer bitstream or a coded enhancement layer bitstream for coding enhancement layer bitstream in a scalable video encoding.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods are described including determining a prediction residual for a channel of video data; and determining, using the first channel's prediction residual, a prediction residual for a second channel of the video data. Further, a prediction residual for a third channel of the video data may be determined using the second channel's prediction residual.

Abstract:
Methods and systems to apply motion estimation (ME) based on reconstructed reference pictures in a B frame or in a P frame at a video decoder. For a P frame, projective ME may be performed to obtain a motion vector (MV) for a current input block. In a B frame, both projective ME and mirror ME may be performed to obtain an MV for the current input block. The ME process can be performed on sub-partitions of the input block, which may reduce the prediction error without increasing the amount of MV information in the bitstream. Decoder-side ME can be applied for the prediction of existing inter frame coding modes, and traditional ME or the decoder-side ME can be adaptively selected to predict a coding mode based on a rate distribution optimization (RDO) criterion.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) video codec encodes multiple views of a 3D video, each including texture and depth components. The encoders of the codec encode video blocks of their respective views based on a set of prediction parameters, such as quad-tree split flags, prediction modes, partition sizes, motion fields, inter directions, reference indices, luma intra modes, and chroma intra modes. The prediction parameters may be inherited across different views and different ones of the texture and depth components.
