Abstract: Disclosed is a method that includes receiving an image frame having a plurality of coded blocks, determining a prediction unit (PU) from the plurality of coded blocks, determining one or more motion compensation units arranged in an array within the PU, and applying a filter to one or more boundaries of the one or more motion compensation units. Also disclosed is a method that includes receiving a reference frame that includes a reference block, determining a timing for deblocking a current block, performing motion compensation on the reference frame to obtain a predicted frame that includes a predicted block, performing reconstruction on the predicted frame to obtain a reconstructed frame that includes a reconstructed PU, and applying, at the timing for deblocking the current block, a deblocking filter based on one or more parameters to the reference block, the predicted block, or the reconstructed PU.

Abstract: A method of encoding motion data associated with an input data corresponding to set of 3D meshes M(i), the motion data including at least one of geometry and vertex attribute changes from one frame to another, can include: dividing input mesh M(i) into a set of patches P(i, j), each patch P(i, j) corresponding to a corresponding patch P(k, l) in a previously encoded reference frame; quantizing at least one of vertices and attributes of each patch P(i, j); predicting residuals based on a difference between quantized vertices or attributes of each patch P(i, j) with respect to corresponding patch P(k, l) in the previously encoded reference frame; and entropy encoding the predicted residuals.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. The encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. The encoder packs patch images into an image frame and fills empty spaces in the image frame with a padding. Various compression strategies may be used to encode an occupancy map and related block-to-patch information indicating which portions of the image frame correspond to which packed patches. Packed image frames comprising patches and padding, along with an encoded occupancy map and related block-to-patch information are sent to a decoder. The decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on the packed image frames, compressed occupancy map, and related block-to-patch information.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute for the point cloud. To compress the attribute information, attribute values are predicted using one of a plurality of prediction strategies, wherein a selected prediction strategy is selected based at least in part on attribute variability of points in a neighborhood of points. A decoder follows a similar prediction process. Also, attribute correction values may be determined to correct predicted attribute values and may be used by a decoder to decompress a point cloud, wherein the decoder applies the same prediction strategy applied at the encoder.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. A processing/filtering element utilizes occupancy map information and/or auxiliary patch information to determine relationships between patches in image frames and adjusts encoding/decoding and/or filtering or pre/post-processing parameters based on the determined relationships.

Abstract: A method of signaling additional chroma QP offset values that are specific to quantization groups is provided, in which each quantization group explicitly specifies its own set of chroma QP offset values. Alternatively, a table of possible sets of chroma QP offset values is specified in the header area of the picture, and each quantization group uses an index to select an entry from the table for determining its own set of chroma QP offset values. The quantization group specific chroma QP offset values are then used to determine the chroma QP values for blocks within the quantization group in addition to chroma QP offset values already specified for higher levels of the video coding hierarchy.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute and/or spatial information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. In some embodiments, an encoder generates time-consistent patches for multiple version of the point cloud at multiple moments in time and uses the time-consistent patches to generate image based representations of the point cloud at the multiple moments in time.

Abstract: Video compression and decompression techniques are disclosed that provide improved bandwidth control for video compression and decompression systems. In particular, video coding and decoding techniques quantize input video in multiple dimensions. According to these techniques, pixel residuals may be generated from a comparison of an array of input data to an array of prediction data. The pixel residuals may be quantized in a first dimension. After the quantization, the quantized pixel residuals may be transformed to an array of transform coefficients. The transform coefficients may be quantized in a second dimension and entropy coded. Decoding techniques invert these processes. In still other embodiments, multiple quantizers may be provided upstream of the transform stage, either in parallel or in cascade, which provide greater flexibility to video coders to quantize data in different dimensions in an effort to balance the competing interest in compression efficiency and quality of reconstructed video.

Abstract: A video encoding and decoding system that implements an adaptive transfer function method internally within the codec for signal representation. A focus dynamic range representing an effective dynamic range of the human visual system may be dynamically determined for each scene, sequence, frame, or region of input video. The video data may be cropped and quantized into the bit depth of the codec according to a transfer function for encoding within the codec. The transfer function may be the same as the transfer function of the input video data or may be a transfer function internal to the codec. The encoded video data may be decoded and expanded into the dynamic range of display(s). The adaptive transfer function method enables the codec to use fewer bits for the internal representation of the signal while still representing the entire dynamic range of the signal in output.

Abstract: A search space for performing nearest neighbor searches for encoding point cloud data may be trimmed. Ranges of a space filling curve may be used to identify search space to exclude or reuse, instead of generating nearest neighbor search results for at least some of the points of a point cloud located within some of the ranges of the space filling curve. Additionally, neighboring voxels may be searched to identify any neighboring points missed during the trimmed search based on the ranges of the space filling curve.
