There are provided a method and apparatus for adaptive Group of Pictures structure selection. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding a video sequence using a Group of Pictures structure by performing, for each Group of Pictures for the video sequence, picture coding order selection, picture type selection, and reference picture selection. The selections are based upon a Group of Pictures length.

There are provided methods and apparatus for the use of slice groups in encoding and decoding multi-view video coding (MVC) information. An apparatus and method are described which encodes at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups. Furthermore, an apparatus and method are described for decoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups.

There are provided methods and apparatus for block-based error concealment. An apparatus includes an error concealment module for concealing a current block in a lost picture in a group of pictures by using a last available inter-coded picture in a previous group of pictures, when the lost picture is a first inter-coded picture in the group of pictures. The group of pictures has a pattern characterized as an intra-coded picture followed by a sequence of inter-coded pictures.

There are provided methods and apparatus for film grain SEI message insertion for bit-accurate simulation in a video system. A method for simulating film grain in an ordered sequence includes the steps of providing film grain supplemental information corresponding to a plurality of intra coded pictures, and providing additional film grain supplemental information corresponding to inter coded pictures between consecutive intra coded pictures, in decode order. The inter coded pictures are selected based upon display order.

A video encoder and corresponding method are described for enabling fast channel change of compressed video, where a video encoder for receiving input pictures and providing compressed stream data includes a normal encoding portion for receiving input pictures and providing normal stream data, a lower-quality encoding portion for receiving input pictures and providing channel change stream data, and a multiplexor in signal communication with each of the normal and lower-quality portions for receiving and combining the normal and channel change data streams.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating processing of images contained in an encoded video stream wherein a plurality of non-intra coded images are transcoded into intra-coded images (I-images). The transcoded I-images are then used to facilitate trick mode playback, such as reverse playback, fast reverse playback or fast forward playback. In addition, an image sequence window is defined and transcoded I-images which fall outside of the image sequence window are deleted from a memory.

There are provided a method and apparatus for reusing available motion information as a motion estimation predictor for video encoding. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding an image block by determining a motion estimation predictor for the image block using motion information previously generated from an element other than the encoder, and using the motion estimation predictor in a motion estimation process to generate a motion vector for the image block. The motion estimation predictor is used in place of at least one predictor otherwise used in the motion estimation process. The at least one predictor is any of a search window predictor, a temporal predictor, and a block type predictor.

There are provided a method and apparatus for adaptive weight selection for motion compensated prediction. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding a picture by deriving a set of weighting parameters, selecting at least one weighting parameter in the set based upon a selection criteria, and applying the selected at least one weighting parameter to a reference picture used to encode the picture.

There are provided scalable complexity video decoder and encoders for respectively decoding and encoding a video bitstream. A scalable complexity video decoder includes a first combiner, a second combiner, and a deblocking filter. The first combiner is for combining full resolution motion compensated predictions and decoded upsampled base layer residuals to form reconstructed upsampled base layer pictures for display without any deblocking operations applied thereto. The second combiner, in signal communication with the first combiner, is for combining the reconstructed upsampled base layer pictures with decoded enhancement layer residuals to form reconstructed full resolution enhancement layer pictures. The deblocking filter, in signal communication with the second combiner, is for performing deblocking operations on only the reconstructed full resolution enhancement layer pictures to output filtered reconstructed full resolution enhancement layer pictures for display.

There are provided method and apparatus for detecting and concealing reference and non-reference video frames. A video decoder includes an entropy decoder, an error detector, and an error concealer. The entropy decoder is for decompressing a video bitstream intended to have a fixed frame rate and parsing the decompressed video bitstream to find picture order counts for frames of the decompressed video bitstream. The error detector is for determining that a particular frame of the decompressed video bitstream is missing based upon the picture order counts. The error concealer is for concealing the particular frame. The method is accomplished by decompressing and parsing the video bitstream to find picture order counts for frames of the decompressed video bitstream and then determining that a particular frame of the decompressed video bitstream is missing based upon comparison of their associated picture order counts, and then concealing that particular frame.
