摘要:
An adaptive Wiener filter may be applied to improve coding efficiency because of information lost during quantization of the video encoding process. The Wiener filter may be selectively applied globally to an entire picture or locally to portions of the picture. Histogram segmentation may be used to select pixels for Wiener filtering in some embodiments. The Wiener filter may be adaptively applied to histogram bins, improving coding efficiency in some cases.

To let decoder side motion vector derivation (DMVD) coded blocks be decoded in parallel, decoder side motion estimation (ME) dependency on spatially neighboring reconstructed pixels can be removed. Mirror ME and projective ME are only performed on two reference pictures, and the spatially neighboring reconstructed pixels will not be considered in the measurement metric of the decoder side ME. Also, at a video decoder, motion estimation for a target block in a current picture can be performed by calculating a motion vector for a spatially neighboring DMVD block, using the calculated motion vector to predict motion vectors of neighboring blocks of the DMVD block, and decoding the DMVD block and the target block in parallel. In addition, determining a best motion vector for a target block in a current picture can be performed by searching only candidate motion vectors in a search window, wherein candidate motion vectors are derived from a small range motion search around motion vectors of neighboring blocks.
摘要:
Techniques to identify one or more candidate reference blocks used to generate a prediction block to encode a current coding block. The candidate reference blocks can be in the same layer as the current coding block or a different layer. In addition, the candidate reference blocks do not have to be co-located with the current coding block. Motion vectors and shift vectors can be used to identify the one or more candidate reference blocks. In addition, uniform and non-uniform weighting can be applied to the one or more candidate reference blocks to generate the prediction block. Accordingly, an encoder can determine and identify reference blocks to a decoder that can provide desirable rate-distortion cost.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for the generation of multiple layers of scaled encoded video data compatible with the HEVC standard. Residue from prediction processing may be transformed into coefficients in the frequency domain. The coefficients may then be sampled to create a layer of encoded data. The coefficients may be sampled in different ways to create multiple respective layers. The layers may then be multiplexed and sent to a decoder. There, one or more of the layers may be chosen. The choice of certain layer(s) may be dependent on the desired attributes of the resulting video. A certain level of video quality, frame rate, resolution, and/or bit depth may be desired, for example. The coefficients in the chosen layers may then be assembled to create a version of the residue to be used in video decoding.

In a scalable video codec, an adaptive Wiener filter with offset aims to minimize the differences between two input pictures or picture regions, and the filter coefficients need to be transmitted to decoder site.
摘要:
Systems, devices and methods are described including performing scalable video coding using inter-layer residual prediction, inter-layer residual prediction in an enhancement layer coding unit, prediction unit, or transform unit may use residual data obtained from a base layer or from a lower enhancement layer. The residual may be subjected to upsample filtering and/or refinement filtering. The upsample or refinement filter coefficients may be predetermined or may be adoptively determined.
