    Abstract: Coding techniques for image data may cause a still image to be converted to a “phantom” video sequence, which is coded by motion compensated prediction techniques. Thus, coded video data obtained from the coding operation may include temporal prediction references between frames of the video sequence. Metadata may be generated that identifies allocations of content from the still image to the frames of the video sequence. The coded data and the metadata may be transmitted to another device, whereupon it may be decoded by motion compensated prediction techniques and converted back to a still image data. Other techniques may involve coding an image in both a base layer representation and at least one coded enhancement layer representation. The enhancement layer representation may be coded predictively with reference to the base layer representation. The coded base layer representation may be partitioned into a plurality of individually-transmittable segments and stored. Prediction references of elements of the enhancement layer representation may be confined to segments of the base layer representation that correspond to a location of those elements. Meaning, when a pixel block of an enhancement layer maps to a given segment of the base layer representation, prediction references are confined to that segment and do not reference portions of the base layer representation that may be found in other segment(s).

    Abstract: Computing devices may implement dynamic transitions from video messages to video communications. Video communication data for a video message may be received at a recipient device. The video communication data may be displayed as it is received, and recorded for subsequent playback. An indication of a selection to establish a video communication with the sender of the video message may be received, or an indication that display of the video communication is to be ceased may be received. If a video communication is to be established, then a video communication connection with the sender of the video message may be created so that subsequent video communication data may be sent via the established connection.

    Abstract: Computing devices may implement dynamic detection of pause and resume for video communications. Video communication data may be capture at a participant device in a video communication. The video communication data may be evaluated to detect a pause or resume event for the transmission of the video communication data. Various types of video, audio, and other sensor analysis may be used to detect when a pause event or a resume event may be triggered. For triggered pause events, at least some of the video communication data may no longer be transmitted as part of the video communication. For triggered resume events, a pause state may cease and all of the video communication data may be transmitted.

    Abstract: Methods and systems provide efficient sample adaptive offset (SAO) signaling by reducing a number of bits consumed for signaling SAO compared with conventional methods. In an embodiment, a single flag is used if a coding unit to a first scanning direction with respect to a given coding unit is off. In an embodiment, further bits may be saved if some neighboring coding units are not present, i.e. the given coding unit is an edge. For example, a flag may be skipped, e.g., not signaled, if the given coding unit does not have a neighbor. In an embodiment, a syntax element, one or more flags may signal whether SAO filtering is performed in a coding unit. Based on the syntax element, a merge flag may be skipped to save bits. In an embodiment, SAO syntax may be signaled at a slice level.

    Abstract translation: 方法和系统通过减少与常规方法相比信号SAO消耗的比特数来提供有效的采样自适应偏移(SAO)信令。 在一个实施例中,如果关于给定编码单元的第一扫描方向的编码单元关闭,则使用单个标志。 在一个实施例中,如果一些相邻编码单元不存在,即给定的编码单元是边缘,则可以节省进一步的比特。 例如,如果给定的编码单元不具有邻居,则可以跳过标志,例如,不发信号通知。 在一个实施例中,语法元素,一个或多个标志可以发信号通知是否在编码单元中执行SAO滤波。 基于语法元素,可以跳过合并标志来保存位。 在一个实施例中,可以在切片级别发信号通知SAO语法。
