Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for developing quantization matrices for use in video coding. According to these techniques a first quantization matrix may be derived from a second quantization matrix by scaling quantization values of the second quantization matrix by scaling parameters. The scaling parameters may increase according to distance between each matrix position and a matrix origin, they may be derived from characteristics of a video sequence to be coded, or both. The first quantization matrix may be communicated to a decoder. Thereafter, a video sequence may be coded predictively. As part of the coding, pixel data of the video sequence may be transformed to a plurality of frequency domain coefficients, and the frequency domain coefficients may be quantized according to the first quantization matrix.

Abstract: Techniques for encoding video with reduced frame-boundary artifacts are presented. The techniques include a video encoding method, where, when skip mode is selected as a motion prediction coding mode for a pixel block predicted from a reference block of a reference frame, estimating an amount of the reference block that extends beyond the edge of the reference frame. If the amount beyond the edge does not exceed a threshold, the prediction may be coded with skip mode. If the amount beyond the edge exceeds a threshold, the pixel block may be partitioned, and the partitioned blocks may be coded with motion prediction.
