    Abstract: Methods of in-loop deblocking filter for high dynamic range (HDR) video compression are disclosed. HDR processing and standard dynamic range (SDR) processing adopt different electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) to convert digital code words to linear luminance. For compressing HDR video, EOTF is proposed to be involved in the selection of two deblocking parameters, β and tC, which control the strength of deblocking filter. In local activity checking for filter decisions, the calculated local signal characteristics and the thresholds are adjusted according to EOTF. After deblocking filter, the clipping range is modified based on EOTF. The chroma deblocking filter is also extended to inter-inter block boundary.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a server device can segment users based on user engagement with an application on a user device. For example, server device can receive user event data from many user devices indicating user activities with respect to the application and/or content presented by the application. The server device can generate user engagement segments based on the received user event data. The server device can generate predictive models for each user engagement segment based on the received user event data. The server device can determine which particular user engagement segments a particular user is associated with based on user event data associated with the particular user and/or the predictions generated by the predictive models. The application on the user device associated with the particular user can then be configured according to the user engagement segments associated with the particular user.

    Abstract: A method and system of using a pre-encoder to improve encoder efficiency. The encoder may conform to ITU-T H.265 and the pre-encoder may conform to ITU-T H. 264. The pre-encoder may receive source video data and provide information regarding various coding modes, candidate modes, and a selected mode for coding the source video data. In an embodiment, the encoder may directly use the mode selected by the pre-encoder. In another embodiment, the encoder may receive both the source video data and information regarding the various coding modes (e.g., motion information, macroblock size, intra prediction direction, rate-distortion cost, and block pixel statistics) to simplify and/or refine its mode decision process. For example, the information provided by the pre-encoder may indicate unlikely modes, which unlikely modes need not be tested by the encoder, thus saving power and time.

    Abstract translation: 一种使用预编码器来提高编码器效率的方法和系统。 编码器可以符合ITU-T H.265标准,并且预编码器可以符合ITU-T H.264的要求。预编码器可以接收源视频数据并提供关于各种编码模式,候选模式和选择模式的信息 用于对源视频数据进行编码。 在一个实施例中,编码器可以直接使用由预编码器选择的模式。 在另一个实施例中,编码器可以接收源视频数据和关于各种编码模式的信息(例如,运动信息,宏块大小,帧内预测方向,速率失真成本和块像素统计),以简化和/或改进其 模式决策过程。 例如,预编码器提供的信息可能指示不太可能的模式,不可能的模式不需要被编码器测试,从而节省功率和时间。
