Abstract:
Inferring an illumination compensation flag during encoding or decoding of a video image signal using frame rate up conversion can save one bit and eliminate complexity. The illumination compensation flag can be derived from the corresponding flags of at least one bi-predictive or bi-directional prediction candidates. The flag can also be derived from some function of the flags from those candidates. Alternatively, several flags can be used for respective coding or decoding of blocks if there are more than one prediction candidate using illumination compensation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to motion vector determination based on template matching for bi-directional motion vector estimation. In particular, a block template is constructed as an average of blocks pointed to by initial motion vectors to be refined. Then, the motion vector refinement is performed by template matching in two different reference pictures. The matching is performed by finding an optimum (minimum or maximum, depending on the function) of a matching function corresponding to the best matching block in each of the two reference pictures. The optimum is searched for zero-mean template and a zero-mean candidate block (among the block positions pointed to by the motion vector candidates of the search space). In other words, before performing the function optimization, a mean of the template is subtracted from the template and a mean of the candidate block is subtracted from the candidate block. The predictor of the current block is then calculated as a weighted average of these best matching blocks in the respective reference pictures.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus of video coding using decoder derived motion information based on bilateral matching or template matching are disclosed. According to one method, merge index for merge candidate group comprising bilateral matching merge candidate and/or template matching merge candidate are signalled using different codewords. According to another method, the first-stage MV or the first-stage MV pair is used as an only initial MV or MV pair or used as a central MV of search window for second-stage search. According to yet another method, after the reference template for a first reference list is found, the current template is modified for template search in the other reference list. According to yet another method, the sub-PU search is disabled for the template search. According to yet another method, block difference calculation is based on reduced bit depth during MV search associated with the decoder-side MV derivation process.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus of motion compensation using the bi-directional optical flow (BIO) techniques are disclosed. According to one method of the present invention, the BIO process is applied to encode or decode bi-directional current block in Merge mode only or in AMVP (advanced motion vector prediction) mode only. According to another method, the BIO process conditionally to encode or decode the current block depending on a jointly-coded flag if the current block is coded using a bi-prediction mode. According to yet another method, x-offset value v x and y-offset value v y for the current block are added to the current motion vector to form a final motion vector. The final motion vector is then used as a reference motion vector for following blocks. In still yet another method, the BIO process is applied to the chroma component.

Abstract:
Video streaming concepts are presented. According to a first aspect, the video stream is formed as a multi-layered data stream with forming a set of one or more layers of the multi-layered data stream by copying from the coded version of the video content, while a composition of the at least one video is synthesized in at least a portion of pictures of a predetermined layer of the multi-layer data stream by means of inter-layer prediction. According to a second aspect, inter-layer prediction is used to either substitute otherwise missing referenced pictures of a newly encompassed video by inserting replacement pictures, or portions of the newly encompassed video referencing, by motion- compensated prediction, pictures which are missing are replaced by inter-layer prediction. According to a third aspect, output pictures inserted into the composed video stream so as to synthesize the composition of the video content by copying from a no-output portion of the composed data stream by temporal prediction, are inserted into the composed data stream so that output pictures are arranged in the data stream in the presentation time order rather than the coded picture order.
