Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for region-of-interest (ROI) encoding. In accordance with the techniques described herein, an encoding device may determine a temporal spatial dependency value for a candidate reference video block for inter-coding a current block in a video frame. The encoding device may compare the temporal spatial dependency value to a threshold value and select a coding mode for the current block based on the comparison. A decoding device may receive data defining a ROI as well as the temporal spatial dependency value and decode a video block in the ROI based at least in part on the temporal spatial dependency value. In this manner, the techniques of this disclosure may allow a video content viewer the ability to choose a ROI to watch.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently decoding packets sent with H-ARQ are described. Packet decoding for H-ARQ may be performed based on local search around a start of packet (SOP) decision for a packet. The SOP decision for the packet may be made based on traffic detection results for received transmissions. At least one SOP hypothesis may be determined for the packet based on the SOP decision, and the received transmissions may be decoded based on the at least one SOP hypothesis. A sliding SOP window may be used to keep track of SOP hypotheses for the packet. The sliding window may be initialized at an earliest received transmission, moved forward for each subsequent received transmission with no detected packet data, and maintained at the first received transmission with detected traffic. Rotating buffers may be used to store received transmissions for packets for decoding.

Abstract: A video demultiplexer and video decoder include features for efficient video data recovery in the event of channel error. The demultiplexer detects a boundary between physical layer data units and adds boundary information to the bitstream produced by the demultiplexer. The demultiplexer produces adaptation layer data units, which are processed by the adaptation layer to produce an application layer bitstream. When the video decoder encounters an error in the bitstream, it uses the boundary information to limit the amount of data that must be concealed. In particular, the boundary information permits the error to be associated with a small segment of data. The video decoder conceals data from the beginning of the segment of data, rather than an entire slice or frame in which the segment resides. In this manner, the video decoder provides efficient data recovery, limiting the loss of useful data that otherwise would be purposely discarded for concealment purposes.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a video slicing technique that promotes low complexity, bandwidth efficiency and error resiliency. A video encoder places an RM close to the beginning of each logical transmission unit (LTU) so that all but a very small end segment of each video slice fits substantially within an LTU. Instead of requiring placement of RMs exactly at the LTU boundaries, a video encoder applies an approximate alignment technique. Video slices are encoded so that RMs are placed close to the beginning of each LTU, e.g., at the end of the first MB falling within the LTU. A portion of the last MB from the preceding slice carries over into the next LTU. Loss of an LTU results in loss of virtually the entire current slice plus a very small portion of the previous slice.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及一种促进低复杂度，带宽效率和错误弹性的视频切片技术。 视频编码器使RM靠近每个逻辑传输单元（LTU）的开始，使得每个视频片段的除了非常小的端段之外的所有基本上都在LTU内。 视频编码器不需要将RM完全放置在LTU边界，而是应用近似对准技术。 视频片段被编码，使得RM被放置在每个LTU的开始附近，例如在第一MB的结尾落在LTU内。 来自前一个片段的最后一个MB的一部分进入下一个LTU。 LTU的损失导致几乎整个当前切片的损失加上前一切片的非常小的部分。
