Abstract:
In an example, aspects of this disclosure relate to a process for video coding that includes determining that a set of support for selecting a context model to code a current significant coefficient flag of a transform coefficient of a block of video data includes at least one significant coefficient flag that is not available. The process also includes, based on the determination, modifying the set of support, and calculating a context for the current significant coefficient flag using the modified set of support. The process also includes applying context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) to code the current significant coefficient flag based on the calculated context.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coding device is configured to decode four blocks of video data, wherein the four blocks are non-overlapping and share one common point such that four edge segments are formed by the four blocks, for each of the four edge segments, determine whether to deblock the respective edge segment based on a first analysis of at least one line of pixels that is perpendicular to the respective edge segment and that intersects the respective edge segment, for each of the four edge segments that was determined to be deblocked, determine whether to apply a strong filter or a weak filter to the respective edge segment based on a second analysis of the at least one line of pixels for the respective edge, and deblock the four edge segments based on the determinations.
Abstract:
In general, techniques are described for implementing an 8-point discrete cosine transform (DCT). An apparatus comprising an 8-point discrete cosine transform (DCT) hardware unit may implement these techniques to transform media data from a spatial domain to a frequency domain. The 8-point DCT hardware unit includes an even portion comprising factors A, B that are related to a first scaled factor (μ) in accordance with a first relationship. The 8-point DCT hardware unit also includes an odd portion comprising third, fourth, fifth and sixth internal factors (G, D, E, Z) that are related to a second scaled factor (η) in accordance with a second relationship. The first relationship relates the first scaled factor to the first and second internal factors. The second relationship relates the second scaled factor to the third internal factor and a fourth internal factor, as well as, the fifth internal factor and a sixth internal factor.
Abstract:
A video encoder is configured to determine a first and second binary string for a value indicating the position of the last significant coefficient, within a video block of size T. A video decoder is configured to determine a value indicating the position of a last significant coefficient within a video block of size T based on a first and second binary string. In one example, the first binary string is based on a truncated unary coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by 2 log2(T)−1 and the second binary string is based on a fixed length coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by log2(T)−2.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for coding significant coefficient information for a video block in a transform skip mode. The transform skip mode may provide a choice of a two-dimensional transform mode, a horizontal one-dimensional transform mode, a vertical one-dimensional transform mode, or a no transform mode. In other cases, the transform skip mode may provide a choice between a two-dimensional transform mode and a no transform mode. The techniques include selecting a transform skip mode for a video block, and coding significant coefficient information for the video block using a coding procedure defined based at least in part on the selected transform skip mode. Specifically, the techniques include using different coding procedures to code one or more of a position of a last non-zero coefficient and a significance map for the video block in the transform skip mode.
Abstract:
In generating a candidate list for inter prediction video coding, a video coder can perform pruning operations when adding spatial candidates and temporal candidates to a candidate list while not performing pruning operations when adding an artificially generated candidate to the candidate list. The artificially generated candidate can have motion information that is the same as motion information of a spatial candidate or temporal candidate already in the candidate list.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding video data. In an example an intra-mode for predicting a current block of video data and most probable intra-modes (MPMs) for predicting the current block of video data may be determined. MPMs for predicting the current block of video data may be determined. An index for each of the MPMs based on an order in which the intra-mode for predicting the current block is compared to the MPMs may be determined. When one of the MPMs for predicting the current block matches the intra-mode for predicting the current block, the index of the matching MPM.
Abstract:
A video coding device, such as a video encoder or a video decoder, may be configured to code a parameter set group representing a first parameter set of a first type and a second parameter set of a second, different type, and code a slice of video data using information of the parameter set group, information of the first parameter set, and information of the second parameter set, wherein the slice includes information referring to the parameter set group. The video coding device may further code the first and second parameter sets.
Abstract:
In one example, an apparatus for context adaptive entropy coding a video unit comprises a coder configured to code a syntax element, wherein a first value of the syntax element indicates that one or more of a plurality of context states are initialized using an adaptive initialization mode for the video unit, and a second value of the syntax element indicates that each of the plurality of context states is initialized using a default initialization mode for the video unit. In some examples, when the syntax element has the first value, the coder is further configured to code a map that indicates which of the context states are initialized using the adaptive initialization mode, and to further code either an initial state value for those contexts, or information from which the initial state values of those adaptively initialized context may be derived.
Abstract:
A video encoder is configured to encode a binary sting indicating a position of a last significant coefficient within a video block. A video decoder is configured to decode the encoded binary string. The string may be coded using context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). Binary indices of the binary string may be assigned a context. The context may be determined according to a mapping function. A context may be a assigned to one or more binary indices where each index is associated with a different block size. The last binary index of a 16×16 video block may share a context with the last binary index of a 32×32 video block.
