Abstract:
This disclosure relates to processing video data, including processing video data that is represented by an HDR/WCG color representation. In accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure, one or more Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) Messages may be used to signal syntax elements and or other information that allow a video decoder or video postprocessing device to reverse the dynamic range adjustment (DRA) techniques of this disclosure to reconstruct the original or native color representation of the video data. Dynamic range adjustment (DRA) parameters may be applied to video data in accordance with one or more aspects of this disclosure in order to make better use of an HDR/WCG color representation, and may include the use of global offset values, as well as local scale and offset values for partitions of color component values.
Abstract:
In one example, a device for processing decoded video data a video decoder implemented by one or more hardware-based processing units comprising digital logic circuitry, and a postprocessing unit implemented by one or more hardware-based processing units comprising digital logic circuitry. The video decoder is configured to decode video data of a video bitsream according to a video coding standard, extract HDR postprocessing data from an SEI message of the video bitstream, and provide the decoded video data and the HDR postprocessing data to the postprocessing unit. The postprocessing unit is configured to process the decoded video data using the HDR postprocessing data according to the video coding standard. The device may additionally determine whether the video decoder is compliant with the video coding standard by comparing the processed video data with reference processed video data.
Abstract:
Example techniques are described to determine transforms to be used during video encoding and video decoding. A video encoder and a video decoder may select transform subsets that each identify one or more candidate transforms. The video encoder and the video decoder may determine transforms from the selected transform subsets.
Abstract:
Processing high dynamic range and or wide color gamut video data using a fixed-point implementation. A method of processing video data may include receiving one or more supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages that contain information specifying how to determine parameters for performing an inverse dynamic range adjustment process, receiving decoded video data, and performing the inverse dynamic range adjustment process on the decoded video data using fixed-point computing in accordance with the information in the one or more SEI messages.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for identifying and reducing the incidence of artifacts in video using color gamut scalability (CGS) parameters and tables in scalable video coding (SVC). Derivation of CGS mapping tables are performed for each partition of pixel values in a color space. The pixel value domain is split into partitions and each is optimized independently. Color prediction techniques for CGS may be used by video encoders and/or video decoders to generate inter-layer reference pictures when a color gamut for a lower layer of video data is different than a color gamut for a higher layer of the video data. When mapped values are used as inter-layer predication references for the enhancement layer blocks, artifacts may appear in some frames of the sequences. A video encoder may identify blocks that potentially contain these artifacts and disable inter-layer prediction in those identified blocks.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to processing video data, including processing video data to conform to a high dynamic range/wide color gamut (HDR/WCG) color container. As will be explained in more detail below, the techniques of the disclosure including dynamic range adjustment (DRA) parameters and apply the DRA parameters to video data in order to make better use of an HDR/WCG color container. The techniques of this disclosure may also include signaling syntax elements that allow a video decoder or video post processing device to reverse the DRA techniques of this disclosure to reconstruct the original or native color container of the video data.
Abstract:
Provided are techniques for low complexity video coding. For example, a video coder may be configured to calculate a first sum of absolute difference (SAD) value between a coding unit (CU) block and a first corresponding block in a reference frame, and define branching conditions for branching of CU sizes based on the first SAD value, the branching conditions including a background condition and/or a homogeneous condition. The video coder may be configured to detect the background condition if the first SAD value of the CU block is less than a first threshold background value, and detect the homogeneous condition if a second SAD value of a sub-block of the CU block is between upper and lower homogeneous threshold values based on the first SAD value. The branching of the CU sizes may be based on detecting the background or homogeneous conditions.
Abstract:
A device for encoding video data includes a memory configured to store video data, and a video encoder implemented in circuitry and configured to encode a future picture of the video data having a first display order position, the future picture being included in an intra period (IP) of the video data, the IP comprising a plurality of groups of pictures (GOPs), and after encoding the future picture, encode a picture of an ordinal first GOP of the plurality of GOPs using the future picture as a reference picture, each picture of the ordinal first GOP having display order positions earlier than the first display order position. Encoding the future picture in this manner may result in encoding performance improvements with minimal increases in encoding and decoding complexity.
Abstract:
A video coder may determine a motion vector of a non-adjacent block of a current picture of the video data. The non-adjacent block is non-adjacent to a current block of the current picture. Furthermore, the video coder determines, based on the motion vector of the non-adjacent block, a motion vector predictor (MVP) for the current block. The video coder may determine a motion vector of the current block. The video coder may also determine a predictive block based on the motion vector of the current block.
Abstract:
A method of decoding video data includes constructing a motion vector candidate list of merge candidates for the current block of video data based on motion information from a number of neighboring blocks relative to the current block, wherein the number of neighboring blocks considered for the motion vector candidate list is based on the size of the current block, and wherein the number of neighboring blocks is greater than 5. In some examples, the method includes deriving a histogram of motion vector information for the neighboring blocks, and constructing the motion vector candidate list based on the derived histogram.
