Abstract: An encoder encodes pixels representative of a picture in a multimedia stream, generates a first approximate signature based on approximate values of pixels in a reconstructed copy of the picture, and transmits the encoded pixels and the first approximate signature. A decoder receives a first packet including the encoded pixels and the first approximate signature, decodes the encoded pixels, and transmits a first signal in response to comparing the first approximate signature and a second approximate signature generated based on approximate values of the decoded pixels. If a corrupted packet is detected, the multimedia application requests an intra-coded picture in response to the first approximate signature differing from the second approximate signature. The second signal instructs the decoder to bypass requesting an intra-coded picture and to continue decoding received packets in response to the first approximate signature being equal to the second approximate signature.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus that allow encoding of video data in pipelined encoder architectures with reduced encoding performance penalty. The methods and apparatus encode video data without the need to flush the data pipeline and re-encode macroblocks, thus saving time and resulting in an increase in the encoder's throughput. In one embodiment, macroblocks are encoded in a data pipeline to form a first video slice of a plurality of video slices. Once a macroblock overshoot condition occurs, the overshooting macroblock is determined and a second video slice is formed that includes at least one of the overshooting macroblock and the encoded macroblocks without re-encoding the included overshooting macroblock and encoded macroblocks. For example, a second video slice may be formed from the overshooting macroblock, and any remaining encoded macroblocks, that do not form the first video slice.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing adaptive interpolation filter search in video encoding are disclosed. Conventional interpolation filter searching is simplified to implement adaptive interpolation filter search by selecting one or more first filter types to determine one or more initial interpolation costs. After identifying an MV that produces a target interpolation error for one of the one or more first filter types, one or more secondary interpolation costs are calculated for one or more additional filter types based on the identified MV, and one of the one or more first filter type and one or more additional filter types that results in minimal interpolation error is selected as the interpolation filter type.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for implementing a hierarchical and partitional integer motion estimation search (IMES) architecture using a search engine that is configurable based on a content of a plurality of frames in a video sequence. For example, the techniques include identifying, based on the plurality of frames, one or more search parameters for the hierarchical and partitional motion estimation, where the one or more search parameters are based on a content indicative of motion features tracked across the video sequence. The hierarchical and partitional motion estimation, which includes at least one decimated motion estimation search followed by a full-pixel level search, is performed based on the one or more identified search parameters to determine an integer (or pixel-level) motion vector.

Abstract: An encoder encodes pixels representative of a picture in a multimedia stream, generates a first approximate signature based on approximate values of pixels in a reconstructed copy of the picture, and transmits the encoded pixels and the first approximate signature. A decoder receives a first packet including the encoded pixels and the first approximate signature, decodes the encoded pixels, and transmits a first signal in response to comparing the first approximate signature and a second approximate signature generated based on approximate values of the decoded pixels. If a corrupted packet is detected, the multimedia application requests an intra-coded picture in response to the first approximate signature differing from the second approximate signature. The second signal instructs the decoder to bypass requesting an intra-coded picture and to continue decoding received packets in response to the first approximate signature being equal to the second approximate signature.

Abstract: An encoder encodes an image portion by recursively partitioning the portion into a partitioning hierarchy of levels. The top level has a single block representing the entire portion and each lower level has four smaller blocks representing a corresponding larger block at a higher level. A palette table is generated for each bottom-level block based on the pixels of the associated block. For each successively higher level, the encoder generates a palette table for each current-level block by selecting palette colors based on the palette colors from the four palette tables for the associated four blocks at the next-lowest level. A color index map is then generated based on a final palette table selected from the palette tables generated for the partitioning hierarchy. A representation of the portion is then encoded using the final palette table and the color index map to generate a corresponding segment of an encoded bitstream.

Abstract: A processing apparatus is provided that includes an encoder configured to encode current frames of video data using previously encoded reference frames and perform motion searches within a search window about each of a plurality of co-located portions of a reference frame. The processing apparatus also includes a processor configured to determine, prior to performing the motion searches, which locations of the reference frame to reload the search window according to a threshold number of search window reloads using predicted motions of portions of the reference frame corresponding to each of the locations. The processor is also configured to cause the encoder to reload the search window at the determined locations of the reference frame and, for each of the remaining locations of the reference frame, slide the search window in a first direction indicated by the location of the next co-located portion of the reference frame.
