Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for signaling deblocking filter parameters for a current slice of video data with reduced bitstream overhead. Deblocking filter parameters may be coded in one or more of a picture layer parameter set and a slice header. The techniques reduce a number of bits used to signal the deblocking filter parameters by coding a first syntax element that indicates whether deblocking filter parameters are present in both the picture layer parameter set and the slice header, and only coding a second syntax element in the slice header when both sets of deblocking filter parameters are present. Coding the second syntax element is eliminated when deblocking filter parameters are present in only one of the picture layer parameter set or the slice header. The second syntax element indicates which set of deblocking filter parameters to use to define a deblocking filter applied to a current slice.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for sub-prediction unit (PU) based motion prediction for video coding in HEVC and 3D-HEVC. In one example, the techniques include an advanced temporal motion vector prediction (TMVP) mode to predict sub-PUs of a PU in single layer coding for which motion vector refinement may be allowed. The advanced TMVP mode includes determining motion vectors for the PU in at least two stages to derive motion information for the PU that includes different motion vectors and reference indices for each of the sub-PUs of the PU. In another example, the techniques include storing separate motion information derived for each sub-PU of a current PU predicted using a sub-PU backward view synthesis prediction (BVSP) mode even after motion compensation is performed. The additional motion information stored for the current PU may be used to predict subsequent PUs for which the current PU is a neighboring block.

Abstract:
Techniques for coding video data include coding a plurality of blocks of video data, wherein at least one block of the plurality of blocks of video data is coded using a coding mode that is one of an intra pulse code modulation (IPCM) coding mode and a lossless coding mode. In some examples, the lossless coding mode may use prediction. The techniques further include assigning a non-zero quantization parameter (QP) value for the at least one block coded using the coding mode. The techniques also include performing deblocking filtering on one or more of the plurality of blocks of video data based on the coding mode used to code the at least one block and the assigned non-zero QP value for the at least one block.
Abstract:
A video coding device is configured to obtain an array of sample values. The sample values may be formatted according to a 4:2:0, 4:2:2, or 4:4:4 chroma format. The video coding device determines whether to apply a first filter to rows of chroma sample values associated with defined horizontal edges within the array. The video coding device determines whether to apply a second filter to columns of chroma sample values associated with defined vertical edges. The horizontal and vertical edges may be separated by a number of chroma samples according to a deblocking grid.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coding device is configured to intra-predict a block of video data, using values of pixels along a primary boundary of the block, to form a predicted block, determine whether to filter the predicted block using data of a secondary boundary of the block, and filter the predicted block using data of the secondary boundary in response to determining to filter the predicted block. The video coding device may determine whether to filter the predicted block based on a comparison of a Laplacian value or a gradient difference value to a threshold. The determination of whether to filter the predicted block may be based at least in part on a boundary relationship, e.g., the relationship of one boundary to another, or of a boundary to pixel values of the predicted block.

Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for performing sample adaptive offset signaling and coding in a video coding process. Techniques of the disclosure include both a merge-based and prediction-based signaling process for sample adaptive offset information (i.e., offset values and offset type). The techniques includes determining offset information for a current partition, comparing the offset information of the current partition with offset information of one or more neighbor partitions, coding a merge instruction in the case that the offset information of one of the one or more neighbor partitions is the same as the offset information of the current partition, and coding one of a plurality of prediction instructions in the case that the offset information of the one or more neighbor partitions is not the same as the offset information of the current partition.
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to filter video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit stores video information comprising at least two adjacent video blocks, each video block comprising a plurality of video samples, and each video sample having a bit depth. The processor determines a filtered video sample based at least in part on a video sample and an adjustment value. The processor determines the adjustment value at least in part from an input with a limited bit depth. The input is determined from a set of one or more video samples, and its bit depth is limited such that it is less than the bit depth of the one or more video samples.
