Abstract:
In an example, a process for coding video data includes determining a partitioning pattern for a block of depth values comprising assigning one or more samples of the block to a first partition and assigning one or more other samples of the block to a second partition. The process also includes determining a predicted value for at least one of the first partition and the second partition based on the determined partition pattern. The process also includes coding the at least one of the first partition and the second partition based on the predicted value.
Abstract:
An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a first layer having a first spatial resolution and a corresponding second layer having a second spatial resolution, wherein the first spatial resolution is less than the second spatial resolution. The video information includes at least motion field information associated with the first layer. The processor upsamples the motion field information associated with the first layer. The processor further adds an inter-layer reference picture including the upsampled motion field information in association with an upsampled texture picture of the first layer to a reference picture list to be used for inter prediction. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for deriving a disparity vector for a current block based on a disparity motion vector of a neighboring block in a 3D-AVC video coding process. The disparity vector derivation allows for texture-first coding where a depth view component of a dependent view is coded subsequent to the coding of the corresponding texture component of the dependent view.
Abstract:
A video encoder generates a syntax element that indicates whether a video unit of a current picture is predicted from an external picture. The external picture is in a different layer than the current picture. Furthermore, the video encoder outputs a video data bitstream that includes a representation of the syntax element. The video data bitstream may or may not include a coded representation of the external picture. A video decoder obtains the syntax element from the video data bitstream. The video decoder uses the syntax element in a process to reconstruct video data of a portion of the video unit.
Abstract:
In one example, a device for receiving information for multimedia data, the device comprising one or more processors configured to analyze at least a portion of a manifest file for multimedia content, wherein the portion of the manifest file includes information indicative of sets of representations of the multimedia content and information indicative of common characteristics for each of the sets of representations, select one of the sets of representations based on the common characteristics for the one of the sets of representations, select one of the representations of the selected one of the sets of representations based on one or more coding characteristics of the one of the representations of the one of the sets, and generate a request for data of the one of the representations based on the selection.
Abstract:
A video coder may utilize large macroblocks having more than 16x16 pixels. Syntax for the large macroblocks may define whether a bitstream includes large macroblocks, such as superblocks having 64x64 pixels or bigblocks having 32x32 pixels. The syntax may be included in a slice header or a sequence parameter set. The large macroblocks may also be encoded according to a large macroblock syntax. The bitstream may further include syntax data that indicates a level value based on whether the bitstream includes any of the large macroblocks, for example, as a smallest-sized luminance prediction block. A decoder may use the level value to determine whether the decoder is capable of decoding the bitstream.
Abstract:
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for simplifying SDC coding of large intra-prediction blocks, such as 64×64 blocks, in a 3D video coding process, such as 3D-HEVC. In some examples, the techniques may include processing 64×64 intra-prediction blocks as four 32×32 intra-prediction blocks in intra SDC. Processing large intra-prediction blocks as multiple, smaller intra-prediction blocks in intra SDC may reduce maximum buffer size requirements in the intra SDC process.
