    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: Techniques are described that can be used to either compress or expand video. Color compression techniques are described that can be used to compress the wide color gamut content into lower color gamut for inclusion in a baseline layer. Color expansion techniques are described that convert lower color gamut data into wider color gamut format for inclusion in an enhancement layer. Both of the baseline video stream and enhancement layer video streams may be transmitted through a channel or stored in a memory device to be viewed later. Accordingly, both baseline and enhancement video layers are available so that either lower or higher quality displays can be used to display video.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed involving contrast adjustment for images. For example, an input image is classified based on its pixel value characteristics, as expressed in an input brightness histogram. From such a classification, a target histogram distribution for a corresponding output image (i.e., a contrast-adjusted transformation of the input image) may be specified. With the target histogram of the output image specified, a transformation function may be derived that maps input image values to output image values. Moreover, transitions of such transformation functions may be smoothed. Such smoothing may provide advantages, such as a reduction in flickering associated with video data.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for performing low memory access candidate-based decoder-side motion vector determination (DMVD) are described. The number of candidate motion vectors (MVs) searched may be confined by limiting the range of pixels associated with candidate MVs to a pre-defined window. Reference windows may then be loaded into memory only once for both DMVD and motion compensation (MC) processing. Reference window size may be adapted to different PU sizes. Further, various schemes are described for determining reference window positions.
