    Abstract: Chroma deblock filtering of reconstructed video samples may be performed to remove blockiness artifacts and reduce color artifacts without over-smoothing. In a first method, chroma deblocking may be performed for boundary samples of a smallest transform size, regardless of partitions and coding modes. In a second method, chroma deblocking may be performed when a boundary strength is greater than 0. In a third method, chroma deblocking may be performed regardless of boundary strengths. In a fourth method, the type of chroma deblocking to be performed may be signaled in a slice header by a flag. Furthermore, luma deblock filtering techniques may be applied to chroma deblock filtering.

    Abstract: Techniques for coding video data are described that maintain high precision coding for low motion video content. Such techniques include determining whether a source video sequence to be coded has low motion content. When the source video sequence contains low motion content, the video sequence may be coded as a plurality of coded frames using a chain of temporal prediction references among the coded frames. Thus, a single frame in the source video sequence is coded as a plurality of frames. Because the coded frames each represent identical content, the quality of coding should improve across the plurality of frames. Optionally, the disclosed techniques may increase the resolution at which video is coded to improve precision and coding quality.

    Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide an improved relay user experience and improved management of scarce computing and network resources as the number of relay endpoints increases. A sourcing endpoint device may generate a media feed, such as video and/or audio feed, representing contribution from a conference participant. The sourcing endpoint device may generate a priority value for the media feed, and the priority value may be transmitted to other members of the relay along with the input feed. Priority values of the different relay participants may be used by other devices, for example, intermediate servers or receiving endpoint devices, to manage aspects of the relay. For example, a relay server may prune streams from select endpoint devices based on relative priority values received from those devices. Alternatively, receiving endpoint devices may alter presentation of received feeds based on their associated priority values.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing memory allocations when coding video data according to multiple codec configurations. According to these techniques, devices may negotiate parameters of a coding session that include parameters of a plurality of different codec configurations that may be used during the coding session. A device may estimate sizes of decoded picture buffers for each of the negotiated codec configurations and allocate in its memory a portion of memory sized according to a largest size of the estimated decoded picture buffers. Thereafter, the devices may exchange coded video data. The exchange may involve decoding coded data of reference pictures and storing the decoded reference pictures in the allocated memory. During the coding session, the devices may toggle among the different negotiated codec configurations. As they do, reallocations of memory may be avoided.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for responding to changes in bandwidth that are available to transmit coded video data between an encoder and a decoder. When such changes in bandwidth occur, estimates may be derived of visual significance of coded video data that has not yet been transmitted and also video data that is next to be coded. These estimates may be compared to each other. When the estimated visual significance of the coded video data that has not yet been transmitted is greater than the estimated visual significance of the video data that is next to be coded, transmission of the coded video data that has not yet been transmitted may be prioritized over coding of the video data that is next to be coded. When the estimated visual significance of the video data that is next to be coded is greater than the estimated visual significance of the coded video data that has not yet been transmitted, coding of the video data that is next to be coded may be prioritized over transmission of the coded video data that has not yet been transmitted. Resources may be allocated to the prioritized coder operation.
