Abstract: Techniques are described for video encoding and decoding using reference picture resampling with switchable filters. One example involves obtaining a current picture and a reference picture, identifying filter index information for a current block of the current picture, and determining that a first picture size value of the current picture and a second picture size value of the reference picture are different. Based on the determining that the first picture size value of the current picture and the second picture size value of the reference picture are different, performing a resampling process using a default filter index in place of a current filter index identified by the filter index information. Additional examples can use the current filter index identified by the filter index information in subsequent blocks. In various examples, the current filter index can be derived or signaled.

Abstract: Video stream data is selectively scaled so that sections within regions of interest (ROI) maintain high resolution while areas not within the region of interest are down-scaled to reduce bandwidth cost of transmission. A low compression encoder compresses sections of a video frame corresponding to one or more ROI without motion search or prediction mode decision to generate low-compression section data. The video frame is downscaled and a high compression encoder compresses the resulting downscaled video frame with prediction mode decision to generate high-compression frame data.
