    摘要: Simulation of film grain in an image can occur by compressing a video image, then transmitting compressed video together with a message containing at least one parameter indicative of the original film grain, to a decoder, and restoring the original grainy appearance of images by having the decoder simulating film grain based on the content of the film grain message. To improve efficiency, one or more parameters of film grain information undergo scaling in accordance with a target pixel block size for pixel blocks in the image. Such scaling allows for the use of conventional circuitry for performing block-based operations in connection with the film grain simulation.

    摘要: There are provided methods and apparatus for constrained prediction for reduced resolution update mode and complexity scalability in video encoders and decoders. A scalable complexity video encoder includes an encoder for encoding a block in a particular picture in the video sequence by generating an intra mode prediction for the block using a constrained intra prediction process that reduces artifacts for both low and high resolutions in a reduced resolution update mode when the particular picture is eventually decoded. The constrained intra prediction process reduces the artifacts by prohibiting the use of particular prediction modes associated with the introduction of the artifacts in the reduced resolution update mode.

    摘要: There are provided a method and apparatus for reusing available motion information as a motion estimation predictor for video encoding. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding an image block by determining a motion estimation predictor for the image block using motion information previously generated from an element other than the encoder, and using the motion estimation predictor in a motion estimation process to generate a motion vector for the image block. The motion estimation predictor is used in place of at least one predictor otherwise used in the motion estimation process. The at least one predictor is any of a search window predictor, a temporal predictor, and a block type predictor.

    摘要: A hybrid intra-inter bi-predictive (or multi-predictive) coding mode allows both intraframe (intra) and interframe (inter) predictions to be combined together for hybrid-encoding a current macroblock or a subblock. Bi-prediction may be used also in I-pictures, combining two intra predictions that use two different intra prediction directions. A video encoder processes data representing a two-dimensional video image which has been produced by a conventional commercially available video camera. The video encoder is adapted to select, for coding a current macroblock, between an intra encoding mode, an P-frame inter encoding mode, a B-frame bi-predictive inter mode, and a hybrid intra-inter bi-predictive encoding mode. A video decoder receives and decodes a data stream that may contain a block/macroblock encoded in accordance with the hybrid intra-inter bi-predictive encoding mode.

    摘要: There are provided methods and apparatus for edge-based spatio-temporal filtering. An apparatus for filtering a sequence of pictures includes a spatial filter, a motion compensator, a deblocking filter, and a temporal filter. The spatial filter is for spatially filtering a picture in the sequence and at least one reference picture selected from among previous pictures and subsequent pictures in the sequence with respect to the picture. The motion compensator, in signal communication with the spatial filter, is for forming, subsequent to spatial filtering, multiple temporal predictions for the picture from the at least one reference picture. The deblocking filter, in signal communication with the motion compensator, is for deblock filtering the multiple temporal predictions. The temporal filter, in signal communication with the deblocking filter, is for temporally filtering the multiple temporal predictions and combining the multiple temporal predictions to generate a noise reduced version of the picture.
