    摘要: At high bit rates, the reconstruction error of compressed video is generally proportional to the squared value of quantization step size, such that full quantization step size increments at high bit rates can lead to significant change in the reconstruction error and/or bit rate of the compressed video. A video codec uses fractional increments of quantization step size at high bit rates to permit a more continuous variation of quality and/or bit rate as the quantization scale changes. For high bit rate scenarios, the bit stream syntax includes an additional syntax element to specify fractional step increments (e.g., half step) of the normal quantizer scale step sizes.

    摘要: A video codec provides efficient repeat padding of hybrid video sequences having arbitrary video resolution. The video codec repeat pads to expand the active content of pictures in the video sequence out to meet an adaptive vertical macroblock alignment restriction that varies by picture type. For progressive type pictures, the video codec repeats the last row or horizontal boundary edge of the active content. For interlaced type pictures, the video coded repeats the last two rows (last row of each interlaced field) of the active content. This repeat padding differing by picture type provides a better prediction (lower prediction error residual) for macroblocks in following predicted frames whose motion vector points into the padded region.

    摘要: Techniques and tools for encoding and decoding motion vector information for video images are described. For example, a video encoder yields an extended motion vector code by jointly coding, for a set of pixels, a switch code, motion vector information, and a terminal symbol indicating whether subsequent data is encoded for the set of pixels. In another aspect, an encoder/decoder selects motion vector predictors for macroblocks. In another aspect, a video encoder/decoder uses hybrid motion vector prediction. In another aspect, a video encoder/decoder signals a motion vector mode for a predicted image. In another aspect, a video decoder decodes a set of pixels by receiving an extended motion vector code, which reflects joint encoding of motion information together with intra/inter-coding information and a terminal symbol. The decoder determines whether subsequent data exists for the set of pixels based on e.g., the terminal symbol.

    摘要: A video codec provides for encoding and decoding pictures of a video sequence at various coded resolutions, such that pictures can be encoded at lower coded resolutions based on bit rate or other constraints while maintaining a consistent display resolution. The video codec further provide for encoding and decoding pictures of the video sequence at ranges lower than that used for display, and then expanding the range after decoding for display. The video codec applies post-processing operations, such as de-blocking, de-ringing, and color conversion, at the native resolution and range of the decoded video, prior to range expansion and upsampling for display.

    摘要: A video codec provides for adaptive vertical macroblock alignment of mixed interlaced and progressive video sequences. With adaptive vertical macroblock alignment, a video codec enforces a macroblock alignment height restriction on per picture basis, rather than requiring that all frames in a sequence adhere to a uniform height restriction. The video codec can then apply less padding to progressive and like type pictures that have smaller macroblock alignment increments, than to interlaced type pictures with larger alignment increments, which can save significant compression overhead.
