A mechanism is described for facilitating interpolated minimum-maximum compression/decompression for efficient processing of graphics data at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a tile having pixels representing graphics contents capable of being processed by a graphics processor of a computing device; computing a minimum color value and a maximum color value of the tile. The method may further include splitting the tile into a plurality of interpolation tiles, where each interpolation tile includes a set of pixels of one or more colors. The method may further include computing a plurality of local minimum color values for the plurality of interpolation tiles, computing, based on the plurality of local minimum values, a plurality of residuals for the plurality of interpolation tiles to reduce spreads from the plurality of interpolation tiles, and compressing the reduced plurality of interpolation tiles based on the plurality of residuals.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for 3D model compression are described. Repetitive structures in the 3D model are identified to increase the compression ratio by reducing the redundancy among the instance components. The instance components can be expressed in a "pattern-instance" representation and a decision is made as to whether to compress the "pattern-instance" representation for the 3D model. For those instance components that are determined to be encoded in "pattern-instance" representation, a verification process is employed to examine the decoding error of the instance components. If the decoding error is below a threshold value, the instance components are compressed in the "pattern-instance" representation. Otherwise, a different encoding mode is used to compress the instance components.

Abstract:
Disclosed are an intra prediction method of a chrominance block using a luminance sample and an apparatus using the same. An image decoding method comprises the steps of: calculating an intra prediction mode of a chrominance block on the basis of an LM mapping table when the chrominance block uses an LM; and generating a prediction block for the chrominance block on the basis of the calculated intra prediction mode of the chrominance block. When intra prediction mode information of chrominance blocks are decoded, mutually different tables are used depending on whether or not an LM is used, so that encoding and decoding can be performed without an unnecessary waste of bits.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention relate to compression of parameters of an encoded texture block such that an efficient encoding is achieved. Index data is used as an example of parameters to be encoded. Accordingly, encoding the index data is achieved by predicting the index data, wherein the prediction is done in the pixel color domain, where changes often are smooth, instead of in the pixel index domain where the changes vary a lot. Hence, according to embodiments of the present invention the index data is predicted from previously predicted neighboring pixels taking into account that the base value and a modifier table value are known. When the index value is predicted the real index value can be decoded with the prediction as an aid. Since this way of predicting the index provides a very good prediction, it lowers the number of bits needed to represent the pixel index.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention reduce the compression time in order to achieve a faster texture compression. That is achieved by guessing, i.e. estimating the best table or tables (e.g. from tables 0 to 7) representing luminance information, and to only execute the compression for the table(s) estimated to provide the best luminance information.
