Abstract: The present disclosure relates to deblocking filtering, which may be advantageously applied for block-wise encoding and decoding of images or video signals. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an improved memory management in an automated decision on whether to apply or skip deblocking filtering for a block and to selection of the deblocking filter. The decision is performed on the basis of a segmentation of blocks in such a manner that memory usage is optimized. Preferably, the selection of appropriate deblocking filters is improved so as to reduce computational expense.

Abstract: A system for processing a video obtains a prediction table for a reference frame of the video and codes one or more target frames of the video based on the prediction table. The prediction table is a Huffman table of difference values for reference pixels of the reference frame. The difference value for a reference pixel is determined based on an actual value of the reference pixel and a prediction value determined based on respective pixel values of one or more pixels adjacent to the reference pixel. The one or more target frames are coded based on the Huffman table of the reference frame and prediction values of the one or more target frames.

Abstract: In a picture coding device, a significant coefficient information coding controller 706 and an arithmetic encoder 701 code significant difference coefficient information indicating that a difference coefficient value is not zero and significant for each of the difference coefficients in the partial region of the coding target. A difference coefficient value coding controller 707 and the arithmetic encoder 701 code difference coefficient values when significant difference coefficient information is significant for each of pixels in the partial region of the coding target. The significant coefficient information coding controller 706 decides a context for coding the significant difference coefficient information in the partial region of the coding target based on information indicating significance of the difference coefficient in the coded partial region.

Abstract: Improved transforms are used to encode and decode large video and image blocks. During encoding, a prediction residual block having a large size (e.g., larger than 32×32) is generated. The pixel values of the prediction residual block are transformed to produce transform coefficients. After determining that the transform coefficients exceed a threshold cardinality representative of a maximum transform block size (e.g., 32×32), a number of the transform coefficients are discarded such that a remaining number of transform coefficients does not exceed the threshold cardinality. A transform block is then generated using the remaining number. During decoding, after determining that the transform coefficients exceed the threshold cardinality, a number of new coefficients are added to the transform coefficients such that a total number of transform coefficients exceeds the threshold cardinality. The transform coefficients are then inverse transformed into a prediction residual block having a large size.
