Abstract:
A video encoder may use an adaptive Wiener filter inside the core video encoding loop to improve coding efficiency. In one embodiment, the Wiener filter may be on the input to a motion estimation unit and, in another embodiment, it may be on the output of a motion compensation unit. The taps for the Wiener filter may be determined based on characteristics of at least a region of pixel intensities within a picture. Thus, the filtering may be adaptive in that it varies based on the type of video being processed.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may include technology to bundle on demand video frames together in clusters having similar encode times based on predicted performance determined by weighted heuristics.
Abstract:
Techniques related to object detection using binary coded images are discussed. Such techniques may include performing object detection based on multiple spatial correlation mappings between a generated binary coded image and a binary coded image based object detection model and nesting look up tables such that binary coded representations are grouped and such groups are associated with confidence values for performing object detection.
Abstract:
Reconstructed picture quality for a video codec system may be improved by categorizing reconstructed pixels into different histogram bins with histogram segmentation and then applying different filters on different bins. Histogram segmentation may be performed by averagely dividing the histogram into M bins or adaptively dividing the histogram into N bins based on the histogram characteristics. Here M and N may be a predefined, fixed, non-negative integer value or an adaptively generated value at encoder side and may be sent to decoder through the coded bitstream.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) video codec encodes multiple views of a 3D video, each including texture and depth components. The encoders of the codec encode video blocks of their respective views based on a set of prediction parameters, such as quad-tree split flags, prediction modes, partition sizes, motion fields, inter directions, reference indices, luma intra modes, and chroma intra modes. The prediction parameters may be inherited across different views and different ones of the texture and depth components.
Abstract:
Video compression encoding includes intra and inter prediction to reduce spatial and temporal redundancies in video. Prediction results or residuals represent differences between original video pixel values and predicted pixel values. The prediction residuals may be transformed into coefficients, referred to as transform coefficients, in the frequency domain. The transform coefficients may be quantized and entropy encoded. The transform coefficients can be sub-sampled prior to quantization to reduce their number. For example, sub-sampling may reduce more high frequency components than low frequency components represented in the transform coefficients. Therefore, sub-sampling reduces the number of transform coefficients that need to be quantized, reduces quantization complexity, and correspondingly increases throughput in the encoding.
Abstract:
A system, apparatus, method, and article to process a chroma motion vector are described. The apparatus may include a video decoder. The video decoder includes a processor to receive a compressed video bitstream. The compressed video bitstream includes a stream of pictures. The stream of pictures includes a current slice and a current block within the slice. The processor pre-computes a chroma motion vector adjustment parameter for the current slice and determines a motion vector component for the current block within the current slice using the pre-computed chroma motion vector adjustment parameter.
