    摘要: A super-resolution coding mode is described. An encoded image can be decoded from an encoded bitstream stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. A flag can indicate whether an image was encoded using the super-resolution mode at a first resolution. Responsive to the flag indicating that the image was encoded using the super-resolution mode, bits indicating an amount of scaling of the image are included. The image is decoded from the encoded bitstream to obtain a reconstructed image at the first resolution, and the reconstructed image is upscaled to a second resolution using the amount of scaling to obtain an upscaled reconstructed image. The second resolution is higher than the first resolution. Loop restoration parameters within the bitstream can used for look restoration filtering of the upscaled reconstructed image to obtain a loop restored image at the second resolution.

    摘要: Guided restoration is used to restore video data degraded from a video frame. The video frame is divided into restoration units (RUs) which each correspond to one or more blocks of the video frame. Restoration schemes are selected for each RU. The restoration schemes may indicate to use one of a plurality of neural networks trained for the guided restoration. Alternatively, the restoration schemes may indicate to use a neural network and a filter-based restoration tool. The video frame is then restored by processing each RU according to the respective selected restoration scheme. During encoding, the restored video frame is encoded to an output bitstream, and the use of the selected restoration schemes may be signaled within the output bitstream. During decoding, the restored video frame is output to an output video stream.
