Abstract:
In one example, a device for coding video data includes a video coder configured to code an intra random access point (IRAP) picture of a partially aligned IRAP access unit of video data, and code data that indicates, when performing random access from the partially aligned IRAP access unit, at least one picture of a video coding layer that is not correctly decodable. When the video coder comprises a video decoder, the video decoder may skip decoding of the pictures that are not correctly decodable, assuming random access has been performed starting from the partially aligned IRAP access unit.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein for coding video data include techniques for coding pictures partitioned into tiles, in which each of the plurality of tiles in a picture is assigned to one of a plurality of tile groups. One example method for coding video data comprising a picture that is partitioned into a plurality tiles comprises coding video data in a bitstream, and coding, in the bitstream, information that indicates one of a plurality of tile groups to which each of the plurality of tiles is assigned. The techniques for grouping tiles described herein may facilitate improved parallel processing for both encoding and decoding of video bitstreams, improved error resilience, and more flexible region of interest (ROI) coding.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for 3D video coding. In particular, this disclosure is related to techniques for advanced residual prediction (ARP) in 3D-HEVC. According to one techniques of this disclosure, when performing inter-view ARP for a bi-directionally predicted block, the video coder may determine a motion vector for a first corresponding block as part of performing ARP for a first prediction direction and reuse that determined motion vector when performing ARP for a second prediction direction. According to another technique, for a bi-directionally predicted block, a video coder may apply ARP in only one direction for a chroma component of a block but apply ARP in two directions for a luma component of the block. According to another technique, a video coder may selectively apply ARP to chroma components based on block size. These simplifications, as well as other techniques included in this disclosure, may reduce overall coding complexity.
Abstract:
Techniques are described determining a partition pattern for intra-prediction encoding or decoding a depth block from a partition pattern of one or more partition patterns associated with smaller sized blocks. A video encoder may intra-prediction encode the depth block based on the determined partition pattern, and a video decoder may intra-prediction decode the depth block based on the determine partition pattern.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for constraining depth intra mode coding in a three-dimensional (3D) video coding process, such as 3D-High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC). In some examples, the techniques for constraining depth intra mode coding may prevent transform tree nodes from being split into sub-transform tree nodes when a depth prediction unit that corresponds to the transform tree node is predicted according to a depth modeling mode (DMM). In further examples, the techniques for constraining depth intra mode coding may prevent the DMM mode from being used when the maximum transform unit size that corresponds to a depth prediction unit is greater than the size of the depth prediction unit. The techniques for constraining depth intra mode coding may prevent characteristics of the DMM prediction modes used in 3D-HEVC and characteristics of the transform tree subdivision used in 3D-HEVC from interfering with each other.
Abstract:
During a process to derive an inter-view predicted motion vector candidate (IPMVC) for an Advanced Motion Vector Prediction (AMVP) candidate list, a video coder determines, based on a disparity vector of a current prediction unit (PU), a reference PU for the current PU. Furthermore, when a first reference picture of the reference PU has the same picture order count (POC) value as a target reference picture of the current PU, the video coder determines an IPMVC based on a first motion vector of the reference PU. Otherwise, when a second reference picture of the reference PU has the same POC value as the target reference picture of the current PU, the video coder determines the IPMVC based on a second motion vector of the reference PU.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for simplifying depth inter mode coding in a three-dimensional (3D) video coding process, such as 3D-HEVC. The techniques include generating a motion parameter candidate list, e.g., merging candidate list, for a current depth prediction unit (PU). In some examples, the described techniques include determining that a sub-PU motion parameter inheritance (MPI) motion parameter candidate is unavailable for inclusion in the motion parameter candidate list for the current depth PU if motion parameters of a co-located texture block to a representative block of the current depth PU are unavailable. In some examples, the described techniques include deriving a sub-PU MPI candidate for inclusion in the motion parameter candidate list for the current depth PU only if a partition mode of the current depth PU is 2N×2N.
Abstract:
In one example, a device includes a video coder (e.g., a video encoder or a video decoder) configured to determine that a block of video data is to be coded in accordance with a three-dimensional extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), and, based the determination that the block is to be coded in accordance with the three-dimensional extension of HEVC, disable temporal motion vector prediction for coding the block. The video coder may be further configured to, when the block comprises a bi-predicted block (B-block), determine that the B-block refers to a predetermined pair of pictures in a first reference picture list and a second reference picture list, and, based on the determination that the B-block refers to the predetermined pair, equally weight contributions from the pair of pictures when calculating a predictive block for the block.
Abstract:
A video encoder signals, in a bitstream, a syntax element that indicates whether a current video unit is predicted from a VSP picture. The current video unit is a macroblock or a macroblock partition. The video encoder determines, based at least in part on whether the current video unit is predicted from the VSP picture, whether to signal, in the bitstream, motion information for the current video unit. A video decoder decodes the syntax element from the bitstream and determines, based at least in part on the syntax element, whether the bitstream includes the motion information.
Abstract:
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for simplifying SDC coding of large intra-prediction blocks, such as 64×64 blocks, in a 3D video coding process, such as 3D-HEVC. In some examples, the techniques may include processing 64×64 intra-prediction blocks as four 32×32 intra-prediction blocks in intra SDC. Processing large intra-prediction blocks as multiple, smaller intra-prediction blocks in intra SDC may reduce maximum buffer size requirements in the intra SDC process.
