Abstract: A method includes identifying an optimal backlight value for at least one quality level of a first video segment. The method also includes transmitting data for the first video segment. The transmitted data for the first video segment includes a message containing a first set of display adaptation information. The first set of display adaptation information includes the optimal backlight value for the at least one quality level of the first video segment. The method further includes identifying a backlight value for the at least one quality level of a second video segment. The method also includes determining a maximum backlight value change threshold between successive video segments. In addition, the method includes applying temporal smoothing between the optimal backlight value and the backlight value based on the maximum backlight value change threshold.

Abstract: An decoding device, an encoding device and a method for point cloud encoding is disclosed. The method includes generating, from a three-dimensional point cloud, multiple two-dimensional frames, the two-dimensional frames including at least a first frame representing a geometry of points in the three-dimensional point cloud and a second frame representing texture of points in the three-dimensional point cloud. The method also includes generating an occupancy map indicating locations of pixels in the two-dimensional frames that represent points in the three-dimensional point cloud. The method further includes encoding the two-dimensional frames and the occupancy map to generate a compressed bitstream. The method also includes transmitting the compressed bitstream.

Abstract: A method for real-time multi-frame super resolution (SR) of video content is provided. The method includes receiving a bitstream including an encoded video, motion metadata for a plurality of blocks of a frame of video content, and parameters. The motion metadata is estimated from the original video before downsampling and encoding. The motion metadata is averaged over consecutive blocks. The method includes upscaling the motion metadata for the plurality of blocks. The method also includes upscaling the decoded video using the upscaled motion metadata. The method also includes deblurring and denoising the upscaled video.

Abstract: A user equipment includes a modem receives a compressed bitstream and metadata. The UE also includes a decoder that decodes the compressed bitstream to generate an HDR image, an inertial measurement unit that determines viewpoint information based on an orientation of the UE, and a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU maps the HDR image onto a surface and renders a portion of the HDR image based on the metadata and the viewpoint information. A display displays the portion of the HDR image.

Abstract: An image-encoding system that is configured to generate an output stream based on an input image is provided that includes an encoder and a metadata extractor. The encoder is configured to encode a low-resolution image to generate a quantized, low-resolution image. The low-resolution image is generated based on the input image. The metadata extractor is configured to extract super-resolution (SR) metadata from the input image. The output stream comprises the quantized, low-resolution image and the SR metadata. An image-decoding system is configured to receive the output stream. The image-decoding system includes a decoder and an SR processor. The decoder is configured to decode the quantized, low-resolution image to generate a decoded image. The super-resolution processor is configured to perform super-resolution on the decoded image based on the SR metadata to generate a super-resolved image.
