摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for rate control accuracy in video encoding. The apparatus includes a video encoder for encoding image data in a single encoding pass using rate control. The rate control involves defining a quantization step size value and a rounding offset value and refining at least the rounding offset value. The image data is encoded responsive to the quantization step size value and the refined rounding offset value.

Methods and apparatus are provided for video coding and decoding with reduced bit-depth update mode and reduced chroma sampling update mode. An apparatus includes an encoder for encoding at least a portion of a picture using at least one of a reduced bit-depth update mode and a reduced chroma sampling update mode that respectively reduces at least one of a bit-depth and a chroma sampling of a residue signal corresponding to the portion.

There are provided a method and apparatus for illumination and color compensation for multi-view video coding. A video encoder includes an encoder for encoding a picture by enabling color compensation of at least one color component in a prediction of the picture based upon a correlation factor relating to color data between the picture and another picture. The picture and the other picture have different view points and both corresponding to multi-view content for a same or similar scene.

A method is provided for block artifact detection and block artifact determination using multiple features in coded images and video. A method includes identifying a plurality of overlapping blocks in a picture with respect to a current block. Each of the plurality of overlapping blocks covers a portion of the current block and a portion of an adjacent block. The method further includes transforming at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks into respective coefficients corresponding to at least one of a luminance component and a chrominance component. The method also includes identifying a block artifact for the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks when coefficients corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of overlapping blocks are larger than a predefined value.

There are provided methods and apparatus for multi-view video coding. A video encoder includes an encoder for encoding a block in a picture by choosing between temporal prediction and cross-view prediction to enable a prediction for the block. The picture is one of a set of pictures corresponding to multi-view video content and having different view points with respect to a same or similar scene. The picture represents one of the different view points. A high-level syntax is used to indicate the use of cross-view prediction for the block.
摘要:
A method and system for identifying and determining banding artifacts in digital video content composed of a sequence of moving video pictures includes creating a mask image corresponding to a picture from said sequence of moving video pictures based on global gradient changes to detect potential areas containing banding artifacts. The values of the mask image are scaled thereby making banding artifact detection possible using gradient operators. The banding artifacts are then identified/detected based on the local gradients.

At least one disclosed method and apparatus relate to inter-view prediction with different resolution reference picture. A particular method includes accessing at least a portion of an encoded picture (614), the encoded picture being from a particular view of multiple views, and the portion being encoded at a particular resolution. The method further includes determining a particular view level based on the particular view (614), determining the particular resolution based on the particular view level (606), and decoding the portion based on the particular resolution (630).
摘要:
Concealment of macroblocks in a rectangular array advantageously occurs by concealing successive rows of macroblocks by progressing in the direction of the larger side of the array. By performing concealment in this manner, information from the concealment of a preceding row or column propagates in a way that facilitates the prediction of contours either in the vertical, the horizontal or the diagonal direction horizontal/diagonal direction, thereby improving the quality of concealment.
摘要:
Spatial concealment of errors in an intra picture comprised of a stream of macroblocks is achieved by predicting the missing data in a macroblock based on an intra prediction mode specified in neighboring block. In practice, when macroblocks within a stream are coded by a block based coding technique, such as coding technique specified in the H.264 ISO/ITU standard, a macroblock can be predicted for coding purpose based on neighboring intra prediction modes specified by the coding technique.
