Furthermore, method and apparatus of using multiple Adaptation Parameter Sets (APSs) for information sharing of in-loop filters are disclosed. APS identifiers of in-loop filters may be incorporated in the slice header to allow each of the in-loop filters select respective filter information from the multiple APSs. A flag is incorporated in SPS to indicate whether multiple APS or single APS is used. Various exemplary syntax designs are disclosed to illustrate information sharing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for video processing of reconstructed video in a reconstruction loop are disclosed. An embodiment according to the present invention performs padding for the blocks in the slice boundaries according to a processing order. Each of the one or more reconstructed blocks at slice boundaries is padded according to a padding order. In-loop filtering is applied to the reconstructed slice according to the processing order, wherein the reconstructed slice is filtered by referencing the one or more padded blocks. The padding order can be vertical-edge first and then horizontal-edge, or horizontal-edge first and then vertical-edge. Various embodiments are disclosed regarding whether padding for a later padded block in the processing order is skipped or not in the overlapped area. The present invention is also applied to adaptation blocks for block-based in-loop filtering in slice boundaries.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for in-loop processing of reconstructed video are disclosed. The method and apparatus configure the in-loop processing so that the processing requires no pixel or reduced pixels from other side of a virtual boundary. When the in-loop processing of the to-be-processed pixel requires a pixel from the other side of the virtual boundary, the pixel from the other side of the virtual boundary is replaced by a replacement pixel. The in-loop processing can also be configured to skip the pixel when the processing requires a pixel from other side of the virtual boundary. The in-loop processing can also be configured to change ALF filter shape or filter size when the in-loop processing requires a pixel from other side of the virtual boundary. A filtered output can be combined linearly or nonlinearly with the to-be-processed pixel to generate a final filter output.

    摘要: For sample adaptive offset, classification may be used to classify the pixels into multiple categories and pixels in each category are offset compensated using an offset value for the category. The classification may be based on values of the current pixel and its neighboring pixels before SAO compensation. Therefore, the SAO compensated pixel cannot be written back to the current pixel location until the category for all pixels are determined. An embodiment of the present invention stores the relation between the current pixel and said one or more neighboring pixels so that the SAO compensated current pixel can replace the current pixel without buffering the to-be-processed pixels for classification. The SAO process may be performed on a region by region basis to adapt to the local characteristics of the picture. Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) is often used to guide the mode decision, such as region splitting/region merging decision. Computations associated with the RDO process usually are very computational intensive. Accordingly, distortion reduction estimation is developed which can substantially reduce the required computation associated with RDO.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for processing reconstructed video using in-loop filter in a video coding system are disclosed. The method uses chroma in-loop filter indication to indicate whether chroma components are processed by in-loop filter when the luma in-loop filter indication indicates that in-loop filter processing is applied to the luma component. An additional flag may be used to indicate whether the in-loop filter processing is applied to an entire picture using same in-loop filter information or each block of the picture using individual in-loop filter information. Various embodiments according to the present invention to increase efficiency are disclosed, wherein various aspects of in-loop filter information are taken into consideration for efficient coding such as the property of quadtree-based partition, boundary conditions of a block, in-loop filter information sharing between luma and chroma components, indexing to a set of in-loop filter information, and prediction of in-loop filter information.

    摘要: In a block-based motion compensated system, coding noises may arise due to lossy operations. Adaptive loop filter (ALF) is a technique used to improve the quality. A pixel adaptive (PA) ALF method was developed that uses the Sum-modified Laplacian Measure (SLM) to classify pixels and applies a respective ALF filter to each pixel according to the SLM. While the PA ALF achieves better performance over a conventional single filter (SF) based ALF, the PA ALF causes higher complexity and consumes more power due to the high complexity and per-pixel filter switching. Accordingly region based ALF scheme is disclosed which allows adaptive filter selection on a region by region basis and does not require per-pixel filter switching. In one embodiment according to the present invention, a picture is divided into M×N regions. The region based ALF also allows region merging for the M×N regions to improve performance. In another aspect of the present invention, the optimal ALF design also takes into consideration of the system complexity by using rate-distortion-complexity optimization (RDCO). The RDCO technique is also applied to sample adaptive offset (SAO) design.
