摘要:
Encoding and decoding architectures for 3D video delivery are described, such as 2D compatible 3D video delivery and frame compatible 3D video delivery. The architectures include pre-processing stages to pre-process the output of a base layer video encoder and/or decoder and input the pre-processed output into an enhancement layer video encoder and/or decoder of one or more enhancement layers. Multiplexing methods of how to combine the base and enhancement layer videos are also described.
摘要:
Sampled data is packaged in checkerboard format for encoding and decoding. The sampled data may be quincunx sampled multi-image video data (e.g., 3D video or a multi-program stream), and the data may also be divided into sub-images of each image which are then multiplexed, or interleaved, in frames of a video stream to be encoded and then decoded using a standardized video encoder. A system for viewing may utilize a standard video decoder and a formatting device that de-interleaves the decoded sub-images of each frame reformats the images for a display device. A 3D video may be encoded using a most advantageous interleaving format such that a preferred quality and compression ratio is reached. In one embodiment, the invention includes a display device that accepts data in multiple formats.

摘要:
An encoding device evaluates a plurality of processing and/or post-processing algorithms and/or methods to be applied to a video stream, and signals a selected method, algorithm, class or category of methods/algorithms either in an encoded bitstream or as side information related to the encoded bitstream. A decoding device or post-processor utilizes the signaled algorithm or selects an algorithm/method based on the signaled method or algorithm. The selection is based, for example, on availability of the algorithm/method at the decoder/post-processor and/or cost of implementation. The video stream may comprise, for example, downsampled multiplexed stereoscopic images and the selected algorithm may include any of upconversion and/or error correction techniques that contribute to a restoration of the downsampled images.

摘要:
Video data that represents two or more views is coded. The regions of the views are asymmetrically processed according to different coding patterns. Techniques that impose asymmetry at the region level, but at the same time may consider overall/average symmetry or significantly reduced asymmetry at the picture/view level are presented.

Multi-layered frame-compatible video delivery is described. Multi-layered encoding and decoding methods, comprising a base layer and at least one enhancement layer with reference processing, are provided. In addition, multi-layered encoding and decoding methods with inter-layer dependencies are described. Encoding and decoding methods that are capable of frame-compatible 3D video delivery are also described.
摘要:
Filter selection methods and filter selectors for video pre-processing in video applications are described. A region of an input image is pre-processed by multiple pre-processing filters and the selection of the pre-processing filter for subsequent coding is based on the evaluated metric of the region.
摘要:
Joint layer optimization for a frame-compatible video delivery is described. More specifically, methods for efficient mode decision, motion estimation, and generic encoding parameter selection in multiple-layer codecs that adopt a reference processing unit (RPU) to exploit inter-layer correlation to improve coding efficiency as described.
摘要:
Enhancement methods for sampled and multiplexed image and video data are described. Each component picture is separately processed either after de-multiplexing or on the fly. Processing and de-multiplexing can be combined in a single joint step. The methods apply to both encoding and decoding system and include applications to scalable video coding systems.
