  • Unequal weight planar motion vector derivation
    Patent number: 12244789
    Abstract: A system and method of planar motion vector derivation which, in some embodiments can employ an unequal weighted combination of adjacent motion vectors. In some embodiments, motion vector information associated with a bottom right pixel or block adjacent to a current coding unit can be derived from motion information associated with a top row or top neighboring row of a current coding unit and motion information associated with a left column or left neighboring column of a current coding unit. Weighted or non-weighted combinations of such values can be combined in a planar mode prediction model to derive associated motion information for bottom and/or right adjacent pixels or blocks.

  • Weighted angular prediction for intra coding
    Patent number: 12244825
    Abstract: A method of decoding JVET video, comprising receiving a bitstream indicating how a coding tree unit was partitioned into coding units according to a partitioning structure that allows nodes to be split according to a partitioning technique. An intra direction mode for a coding unit may be selected, as well as one or more of the plurality of reference lines to generate at least one predictor for the intra direction mode. A predictor may be generated from reference samples within each selected reference line by combining predicted pixel values based on a projected position on a main reference line in combination with predicted pixel values based on a projected position on a side reference line. The predicted pixel values are weighted according to a weight parameter, wherein the weight parameter is determined based on a shift conversion factor.

  • Re-sampling with phase offset adjustment for luma and chroma to select filters in scalable video coding
    Patent number: 12244833
    Abstract: A sampling filter process is provided for scalable video coding. The process provides for re-sampling using video data obtained from an encoder or decoder process of a base layer (BL) in a multi-layer system using adaptive phase shifting to improve quality in Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC). In order to compensate for phase offsets introduced by downsampling an appropriate phase offset adjustment is made for upsampling in SHVC with an appropriate offset included for proper luma/chroma color space positions. In one approach the luma/chroma phase offset is specified and a filter is selected to apply the appropriate phase change.
