    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for deriving prediction pixel blocks for use in intra-coding video and combined inter- and intra-coding video. In a first aspect, the techniques may include deriving value(s) for pixel location(s) of the prediction pixel block by, when a prediction direction vector assigned to the prediction vector points to quadrants I or III of a Cartesian plane, deriving the pixel location's value from pixel values in two regions of previously-decoded pixel data intercepted by extending the prediction direction vector in two opposite directions through the pixel location. When the prediction direction vector points toward quadrants II of the Cartesian plane, deriving the pixel location's value from pixel values in one region intercepted by the prediction direction vector through the pixel location, and from a second region intercepted by a vector that is orthogonal to the prediction direction vector.

    Abstract: Methods of in-loop deblocking filter for high dynamic range (HDR) video compression are disclosed. HDR processing and standard dynamic range (SDR) processing adopt different electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) to convert digital code words to linear luminance. For compressing HDR video, EOTF is proposed to be involved in the selection of two deblocking parameters, β and tC, which control the strength of deblocking filter. In local activity checking for filter decisions, the calculated local signal characteristics and the thresholds are adjusted according to EOTF. After deblocking filter, the clipping range is modified based on EOTF. The chroma deblocking filter is also extended to inter-inter block boundary.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed by which a coding parameter is determined to encode video data resulting in encoded video data possessing a highest possible video quality. Features may be extracted from an input video sequence. The extracted features may be compared to features described in a model of coding parameters generated by a machine learning algorithm from reviews of previously-coded videos, extracted features of the previously-coded videos, and coding parameters of the previously-coded videos. When a match is detected between the extracted features of the input video sequence and extracted features represented in the model, a determination may be made as to whether coding parameters that correspond to the matching extracted feature correspond to a tier of service to which the input video sequence is to be coded. When the coding parameters that correspond to the matching extracted feature correspond to the tier of service to which the input video sequence is to be coded, the input video sequence may be coded according to the coding parameters.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for environment aware supervised HDR tone mapping. According to those techniques, responsive to metadata provided with HDR source video data, the received metadata may be compared to sensor date representing viewing conditions at a display device. Tone mapping corrections to the HDR source video data may be derived from the comparison of the received metadata to the sensor data. The HDR source video data may be altered based on the tone mapping corrections. The altered HDR source video data may be used to drive the display device.

    Abstract: A system obtains a data set representing immersive video content for display at a display time, including first data representing the content according to a first level of detail, and second data representing the content according to a second higher level of detail. During one or more first times prior to the display time, the system causes at least a portion of the first data to be stored in a buffer. During one or more second times prior to the display time, the system generates a prediction of a viewport for displaying the content to a user at the display time, identifies a portion of the second data corresponding to the prediction of the viewport, and causes the identified portion of the second data to be stored in the video buffer. At the display time, the system causes the content to be displayed to the user using the video buffer.
