Abstract: Implementations are provided that relate, for example, to view tiling in video encoding and decoding. A particular method includes accessing a video picture that includes multiple pictures combined into a single picture (826), accessing information indicating how the multiple pictures in the accessed video picture are combined (806, 808, 822), decoding the video picture to provide a decoded representation of at least one of the multiple pictures (824, 826), and providing the accessed information and the decoded video picture as output (824, 826). Some other implementations format or process the information that indicates how multiple pictures included in a single video picture are combined into the single video picture, and format or process an encoded representation of the combined multiple pictures.

Abstract: A method processes a signal by first constructing a graph from the signal, and then determining a graph matrix from the graph and the signal. A Krylov-based subspace is determined based on the graph matrix and the signal. A filter for the Krylov subspace is determined. The filter transforms the signal to produce a filtered signal, which is output.

Abstract: Various implementations are described. Several implementations relate to a refined depth map. According to one aspect, depth information for a picture in a set of pictures is accessed. Modified depth information for the picture is accessed. A refinement is determined that characterizes a difference between the depth information and the modified depth information. The refinement, and the depth information, is provided for use in processing one or more pictures in the set of pictures.

Abstract: Various implementations address high dynamic range (“HDR”) images. In one particular implementation, a low dynamic range (“LDR”) image is generated from an HDR image, and information is generated allowing the HDR image to be reconstructed from the LDR image. The LDR image and the information are encoded. In another implementation, a signal or signal structure includes an LDR section including the encoded LDR image, and an information section including the encoded information. In another implementation, the encoded LDR image and the encoded information are both decoded. The HDR image is then reconstructed based on the decoded LDR image and the decoded information.

Abstract: Various implementations relate to depth map coding. In one method, a depth coding rate and depth distortion are determined for a coding mode. Based on the value of depth distortion, a correlation coefficient is determined between at least a portion of a video picture and a translated version of the video picture. The video picture is one or more of a video picture corresponding to the depth being coded, or a rendered video picture for a different view. A video distortion is determined based on the correlation coefficient, and is used to evaluate the coding mode. Another implementation determines a multiplier, to be used in a rate-distortion cost, based on pixel values from one or more of a video picture from a particular view or a rendered video picture for a different view.

Abstract: Several implementations relate to depth map coding. In one implementation, a depth coding rate, that results from coding one or more portions of a depth map using a particular coding mode, is determined. The depth map can be used to render video for a different view than that of the depth map. A depth map distortion, that results from coding the one or more portions of the depth map using the particular coding mode, is determined. A value of distortion for the rendered video, based on the depth map distortion and on a particular relationship between the depth map distortion and values of distortion for the rendered video, is determined. It is determined whether to use the particular coding mode to code the one or more portions of the depth map, and the determination is based on the value of distortion for the rendered video and the depth coding rate.

Abstract: A method processes a signal represented as a graph by first determining a graph spectral transform based on the graph. In a spectral domain, parameters of a graph filter are estimated using a training data set of unenhanced and corresponding enhanced signals. The graph filter is derived based on the graph spectral transform and the estimated graph filter parameters. Then, the signal is processed using the graph filter to produce an output signal. The processing can enhance signals such as images b denoising or interpolating missing samples.
