Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code video information comprises a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a reference layer (RL) and an enhancement layer (EL). The EL comprises an EL video unit and the RL comprises an RL video unit corresponding to the EL video unit. The processor is configured to perform upsampling and bit-depth conversion on pixel information of the RL video unit in a single combined process to determine predicted pixel information of the EL video unit, and determine the EL video unit using the predicted pixel information.

An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit stores difference video information associated with a difference video layer of pixel information derived from a difference between an enhancement layer and a corresponding base layer of the video information. The processor determines pixel accuracy of motion predictor information, determines a motion vector based on the pixel accuracy of the motion predictor information, and determines a value of a video unit based at least in part on the motion vector.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for inter-layer reference picture set derivation based on sub-layer reference prediction dependency are described herein. One aspect of the subject matter described in the disclosure provides a video encoder comprising a memory configured to store one or more direct reference layer pictures of one or more current pictures in a sequence, wherein the one or more current pictures are associated with a current layer, the current layer being associated with the one or more direct reference layers. The video encoder further comprises a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to set an indication associated with a current picture to indicate whether all of the one or more direct reference layer pictures of the current picture that are not restricted for use in inter-layer prediction are included in an inter-layer reference picture set associated with the current picture.
Abstract:
A method of coding video data includes receiving one or more layers of video information. Each layer may include at least one picture. The method can include determining a number of active reference layer pictures associated with at least one picture of the one or more layers. The method can further include determining a number of direct reference layers associated with the at least one of the one or more layers. Based on the number of direct reference layers equaling the number of active reference layer pictures, the method can further include refraining from further signaling inter-layer reference picture information in any video slice associated with at least one of a video parameter set (VPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS), or a picture parameter set (PPS). Additionally or alternatively, based on the number of direct reference layers equaling the number of active reference layer pictures, the method can include adding to the inter-layer reference picture set all direct reference layer pictures for any video slice associated with at least one of a video parameter set (VPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS), or a picture parameter set (PPS).
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code (e.g., encode or decode) video information includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a video layer comprising one or more temporal sub-layers. The processor is configured to determine presence information for a coded video sequence in a bitstream, the presence information indicating whether said one or more temporal sub-layers of the video layer are present in the bitstream. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code (e.g., encode or decode) video information includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a base layer and an enhancement layer, the enhancement layer comprising an enhancement layer (EL) block and the base layer comprising a base layer (BL) block that is co-located with the enhancement layer block. The processor is configured to determine predicted pixel information of the EL block by applying a prediction function to pixel information of the BL block, and to determine the EL block using the predicted pixel information. The processor may encode or decode the video information.

Abstract:
An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit stores video information associated with a reference layer. The processor determines a value of a current video unit based on, at least in part, a reconstruction value associated with the reference layer and an adjusted difference prediction value. The adjusted difference prediction value is equal to a difference between a prediction of a current layer and a prediction of the reference layer multiplied by a weighting factor that is different from 1.
