Abstract: A section-specific video data stream is derived by reducing a video data stream pertaining an entire scene with conservation of conformance by use of a file format and incorporating slices into which tiles of a set of tiles are encoded which forms the section, are incorporated into a set of one or more source tracks and a set of one or more gathering tracks including construction instructions is used in order to indicate a synthesis of the section-specific video data stream by signaling replacements of certain portions of the slices and instructing to copy certain portions of the slices. Further, there is described a concept pertaining an indication of a position of a region of interest.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present description provides a decoding method and device for a quantization block as well as an electronic device.

Abstract: Disclosed are a signal processing device and an image display apparatus including the same. The signal processing device of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a quality calculator configured to calculate an source quality of an image signal received from an external settop box or a network; an image quality setter configured to set an image quality of the image signal based on the calculated source quality; and an image quality processor configured to perform image quality processing on the image signal based on the set image quality, wherein in response to the source quality of the received image signal being changed at a first time point, the image quality setter changes an image quality setting sequentially from a first setting to a second setting; and based on the image quality setting, the image quality processor performs image quality processing. Accordingly, flicker may be reduced when an image quality is changed due to a change in the source quality of the received image signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of entropy coding of coding symbols using Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coder (CABAC) are disclosed. The method operates by applying context-adaptive arithmetic encoding or decoding to a current bin of a binary data of a current coding symbol according to a current binarized probability value of the current bin and a current range associated with a current state of the context-adaptive arithmetic encoding or decoding; deriving an LPS probability index corresponding to an inverted current binarized probability value or the current binarized probability value, depending on whether the current binarized probability value of the current bin is greater than or equal to 2k?1, k being a positive integer; deriving a range index for identifying one range interval containing the current range; and deriving an LPS range using one or more mathematical operations.

Abstract: Decoding includes identifying a scan pattern by which the bitstream is decoded. A set index value is decoded from the bitstream that specifies a set of flags according to the scan pattern that contains a last significant coefficient flag of the significance map, and individual significance flags are decoded and the decoded values written into the significance map according to the scan pattern and including the specified set of flags. Encoding a significance map includes identifying a scan pattern by which the significance map is scanned to form a list of significant coefficient flags. Encoding identifies a group of significant coefficient flags including a last significant coefficient flag and referencing the identified group with a scan index value. The significance map is then scanned in accordance with the scan pattern up to and including an entirety of the identified group and the scanned flag values then encoded.

Abstract: In one example, a method for coding video data includes identifying a scan path for scanning significance information associated with a quantized transform coefficient. The method also includes determining a context support neighborhood for entropy coding the significance information associated with the quantized transform coefficient, wherein the context support neighborhood excludes one or more context support elements that are located in the scan path. The method also includes coding the significance information using the modified context support neighborhood.

Abstract: A method for encoding pictures within a groups of pictures using prediction, where a first reference picture from a group of pictures and a second reference pictures from the subsequent group of pictures are used in predicting pictures in the group of pictures associated with the first reference picture. A plurality of anchor pictures in the group of pictures associated with the first reference picture may be predicted using both the first and second reference pictures to ensure a smooth transition between different groups of pictures within a video frame.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for encoding a plurality of integers with variable-length code tables constructed by combining a plurality of structured code tables. Each code table has an associated set of integer values; the sets are disjoint and exhaustive, so that every integer appears in exactly one set. An integer is encoded using the codebook associated with the set in which the integer appears.
