Abstract:
In an example, a method of coding video data includes coding, by a video coder, at least a portion of a picture of an independently decodable non-base layer of a multi-layer bitstream. The method also includes coding, by the video coder, data indicating a picture order count (POC) value reset for a POC least significant bits (LSB) value of the picture only when the picture has a POC LSB value for the picture is equal to zero.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems are provided for decoding and processing video data. For example, a method of decoding video data includes accessing an encoded video bitstream comprising multiple layers. The encoded video bitstream includes multiple access units, with a first access unit including an end of sequence network abstraction layer unit. A second access unit includes an intra random access point picture and is a next subsequent access unit in decoding order following the first access unit. The method further includes reinitializing decoding at the second access unit based on the second access unit being the next subsequent access unit in decoding order following the end of sequence network abstraction layer unit of the first access unit.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for providing improved color remapping. In some examples, a video bitstream is obtained that includes a plurality of pictures having a first color characteristic. A color remapping information (CRI) supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message is identified from the video bitstream. A restriction is placed on the CRI SEI message such that a value of a syntax element of the CRI SEI message is restricted based on a condition. One or more samples of the plurality of pictures is remapped from the first color characteristic to a second color characteristic using a color remapping model of the CRI SEI message according to the restriction. In some cases, the condition is a chroma format of the plurality of pictures, in which case the value of the syntax element of the CRI SEI message is restricted based on the chroma format. In some cases, the condition is a color remap value identifying a purpose of the color remapping model of the CRI SEI message, in which case the value of the syntax element of the CRI SEI message is restricted based on the color remap value.
Abstract:
A device for encoding video data includes a memory configured to store at least a portion of a multi-layer bitstream of video data and one or more processors configured to determine that a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message applies to more than one layer of the multi-layer video data; determine that the SEI message references a syntax element that has multiple instances associated with the more than one layer of the multi-layer video data; and set all of the multiple instances to a same value.
Abstract:
In an example, a method of decoding video data includes decoding data that indicates a picture order count (POC) reset for a POC value of a first picture of a first layer of multi-layer video data, wherein the first picture is included in an access unit. The example method also includes, based on the data that indicates the POC reset for the POC value of the first picture and prior to decoding the first picture, decrementing POC values of all pictures stored to a decoded picture buffer (DPB) that precede the first picture in coding order including at least one picture of a second layer of the multi-layer video data.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for processing video data to conform to a high dynamic range (HDR)/wide color gamut (WCG) color container. Operations may be applied to video data in certain color spaces to enable compression of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) video in such a way that an existing receiver without HDR and WCG capabilities would be able to display a viewable Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) video from the received bitstream without any additional processing. Certain embodiments enable delivery of a single bitstream from which an existing decoder obtains the viewable SDR video directly and an HDR capable receiver reconstruct the HDR and WCG video by applying the specified processing. Such embodiments may improve the compression efficiency of hybrid based video coding systems utilized for coding HDR and WCG video data.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to processing video data, including processing video data that is represented by an HDR/WCG color representation. In accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure, one or more Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) Messages may be used to signal syntax elements and or other information that allow a video decoder or video postprocessing device to reverse the dynamic range adjustment (DRA) techniques of this disclosure to reconstruct the original or native color representation of the video data. Dynamic range adjustment (DRA) parameters may be applied to video data in accordance with one or more aspects of this disclosure in order to make better use of an HDR/WCG color representation, and may include the use of global offset values, as well as local scale and offset values for partitions of color component values.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for identifying and reducing the incidence of artifacts in video using color gamut scalability (CGS) parameters and tables in scalable video coding (SVC). Derivation of CGS mapping tables are performed for each partition of pixel values in a color space. The pixel value domain is split into partitions and each is optimized independently. Color prediction techniques for CGS may be used by video encoders and/or video decoders to generate inter-layer reference pictures when a color gamut for a lower layer of video data is different than a color gamut for a higher layer of the video data. When mapped values are used as inter-layer predication references for the enhancement layer blocks, artifacts may appear in some frames of the sequences. A video encoder may identify blocks that potentially contain these artifacts and disable inter-layer prediction in those identified blocks.
Abstract:
A video coder codes a slice header for a slice of video data. The slice header includes a syntax element comprising identifying information for a long term reference picture, wherein the identifying information is explicitly signaled in the slice header or derived from a sequence parameter set corresponding to the slice. When the syntax element indicates that the identifying information for the long term reference picture is explicitly signaled, to code the slice header, the video coder is further configured to code a value for the identifying information for the long term reference picture in the slice header.
