    摘要: Systems and methods for applying a new quality metric for coding video are provided. The metric, based on the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) distortion visibility model, allows for efficient selection of coding techniques that limit perceptible distortion in the video while still taking into account parameters, such as desired bit rate, that can enhance system performance. Additionally, the unique aspects of each input type, system and display may be considered. Allowing for a programmable minimum viewing distance (MVD) parameter also ensures that the perceptible distortion will not be noticeable at the specified MVD, even though the perceptible distortion may be significant at an alternate distance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method of controlling a video decoder, including a reviewing channel data representing coded video data generated by an encoder to identify parameters of a hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) used by the encoder during coding operations. A parameter representing an exit data rate requirement of a coded picture buffer (CPB) of the HRD is compared against exit rate performance of the video decoder. If the exit rate performance of the video coder matches the exit rate requirement of the HRD, the coded video data is decoded, otherwise, a certain decoding degradation scheme can be applied, including disabling decoder from decoding the coded video data.

    摘要: A First Improvement is Described for Prediction of Motion Vectors to be Used in Prediction of video data for enhancement layer data. Arbitrary pixelblock partitioning between base layer data and enhancement layer data raises problems to identify base layer motion vectors to be used as prediction sources for enhancement layer motion vectors. The disclosed method develops enhancement layer motion vectors by scaling a base layer pixelblock partition map according to a size difference between the base layer video image and the enhancement layer video image, then identified scale base layer pixelblocks that are co-located with the enhancement layer pixelblocks for which motion vector prediction is to be performed. Motion vectors from the scaled co-located base layer pixelblocks are averaged, weighted according to a degree of overlap between the base layer pixelblocks and the enhancement layer pixelblock. Another improvement is obtained by filtering recovered base layer image data before being provided to an enhancement layer decoder. When a specified filter requires image data outside a prediction region available from a base layer decoder, the prediction region data may be supplemented with previously-decoded data from an enhancement layer at a border of the prediction region.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus are presented for reducing distortion in an image, such as a video image. A video image can be captured by an image capture device, e.g. during a video conferencing session. Distortion correction processing, such as the application of one or more warping techniques, can be applied to the captured image to produce a distortion corrected image, which can be transmitted to one or more participants. The warping techniques can be performed in accordance with one or more warp parameters specifying a transformation of the captured image. Further, the warp parameters can be generated in accordance with an orientation of the image capture device, which can be determined based on sensor data or can be a fixed value. Additionally or alternatively, the warp parameters can be determined in accordance with a reference image or model to which the captured image should be warped.
