Abstract:
High efficiency video coding (HEVC) enhancements are described for intra-block copying for reducing motion vector (MV) coding redundancy and enhancing in range extensions (RExt) by selecting a default block mv predictor. In reducing MV data redundancy, the value of MVx and/or MVy can have a baseline at the width (W), or height (H) of the respective block, whereby fewer bits need to be encoded. One embodiment for enhancing RExt provides an improved selection of a default block vector predictor for the first CU performing intra-block copying in a CTU.
Abstract:
Region of Interest (ROI) scalability with SHVC is able to be implemented where scalability is used for part of a picture but not the whole picture. Applications of ROI scalability include traffic monitoring, security monitoring and tiled streaming.
Abstract:
Based on conditions or restrictions, Strong Intra Smoothing (SIS) is enabled or disabled. SIS is not allowed for chroma when the chroma format is 444, and SIS is not allowed for chroma when the chroma format is 422 or 444.
Abstract:
A method of compressing untracked and tracked meshes using a projection-based approach, and leveraging the tools and syntax already generated for projection-based point cloud compression is described herein. Similar to the V-PCC approach, the mesh is segmented into surface patches, where a difference is that the segments follow the connectivity of the mesh. Each surface patch (or 3D patch) is then projected to a 2D patch, whereby in the case of the mesh, the triangle surface sampling is similar to a common rasterization approach used in computer graphics. For each patch, the position of the projected vertices is kept in a list, along with the connectivity of those vertices. The sampled surface resembles a point cloud and is coded with the same approach used for point cloud compression. Additionally, the list of vertices and connectivity is encoded per patch, and the data is sent along with the coded point cloud data.
Abstract:
A point cloud coding structure defines a "key" point cloud frame, where all references used for predicting point cloud patches are limited to the current point cloud frame. A point cloud patch buffer is described, where the list of reference patches and their respective bounding boxes from a point cloud frame are stored to be used for prediction of patches in another frame. The list of reference patches may contain patches from the past and patches from the future, in case the coding order of point cloud frames is allowed to be different from the presentation order, and bi-directional prediction is used. A similar reference buffer list concept is able to be applied to the layers of the point cloud. A signaling method that correlates the blocks of V-PCC by signaling within the payload the reference to the ID of the block containing the higher-level information is also described.
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing device including circuitry configured to predict, from an image of a first layer, an image of a second layer having a different pixel attribute from the first layer, by using a lookup table in which a combination of a luma component, a first chroma component, and a second chroma component of the first layer is mapped to a predicted pixel value of the second layer corresponding to the combination, wherein a predicted value of a luma component of the second layer is acquired by using a first lookup table, and a predicted value of a first chroma component of the second layer is acquired by using a second lookup table with granularity different from granularity of the first lookup table.
Abstract:
There is provided an image coding apparatus including: circuitry configured to set a correspondence relationship between resolution information and an enhancement layer, in a case where the number of the layers is greater than the number of multiple candidates for the resolution information on a layer of an image; and code the image and generate a bitstream including information relating to the set correspondence relationship.
