    摘要: A sequence of images is encoded in a bitstream as a series of picture units PU-01˜03. Each picture unit corresponds to one encoded image and includes one or more network abstraction layer (NAL) units NAL-01˜23. The NAL units may be video coding layer (VCL) NAL units which each contain encoded image data or adaptation parameter set NAL units which each contain an adaptation parameter set (APS) having parameters for performing one or more types of processing operation on the image data contained in one or more VCL NAL units. The APS NAL units may be prefix APS NAL units P-APS or suffix APS NAL units S-APS. An additional constraint is applied to the bitstream prohibiting inclusion, in a picture unit, of a prefix APS NAL unit after the first NAL unit of the picture unit concerned. This can avoid more than one APS applying to slices belonging to the same picture unit, and hence reduce the size of an APS buffer. Alternatively, or in addition, it is permitted to include, in the same picture unit, of a prefix APS NAL unit and a suffix APS NAL unit having the same APS type and the same APS identifier but different contents. This can reduce rewriting operations when performing random access decoding at a specific timing in the coded video sequence.

    摘要: The invention relates to signalling affine mode in an encoded video stream; in particular determining a list of merge candidates corresponding to blocks neighbouring a current block; and signalling affine mode for said current block; wherein signalling said affine mode comprises decoding a context encoded flag from the data stream, and wherein the context variable for said flag is determined based on whether or not said neighbouring blocks use affine mode. Related encoding and decoding methods and devices are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of filtering a block of pixels in an image, comprising obtaining a first clipping control parameter (tc) value based on a quantization parameter of the block; comparing a first value of a first pixel located on one side of an edge in said block and a second value of a second pixel located on the other side of the edge in said block with a predetermined threshold derived from the first clipping control parameter value; and determining whether to apply a strong filtering to the first pixel based on the result of the comparison, wherein: the strong filtering comprises filtering the first pixel value so that the filtered first pixel value differs from the first pixel value by no more than a range value based on the clipping control parameter (tc), the ration between two range values corresponding to successive values of bitdepths being strictly lower than 2.

    摘要: A temporal motion vector predictor is includable, together with one or more spatial motion vector predictors, in a set of motion vector predictors for a block to encode of a current frame. A method of determining the temporal motion vector predictor comprises selecting as the temporal predictor one motion vector from among motion vectors in a reference block of a reference frame different from the current frame. The reference block is a block of the reference frame collocated with the block to encode or a block of the reference frame neighboring the collocated block. The selection is based on a diversity criterion for achieving diversity among the predictors of the set. This can reduce the motion vector memory requirements with no or no significant additional coding efficiency penalty. Alternatively, even if the motion vector memory is not reduced in size, coding efficiency improvements can be achieved.

    摘要: The value of a quantization parameter for at least one second color component of an image or image portion is determined using a current color format among several possible color formats. The determination comprises the steps of selecting at least one function associated with a possible color format, and determining the value of the quantization parameter for the second color component by applying said at least one function to a value of an intermediate quantization parameter which is based on the value of the quantization parameter of the first color component of the image or image portion. The at least one function is selected independently from the current color format.
