Abstract: Techniques related to accelerated video enhancement using deep learning selectively applied based on video codec information are discussed. Such techniques include applying a deep learning video enhancement network selectively to decoded non-skip blocks that are in low quantization parameter frames, bypassing the deep learning network for decoded skip blocks in low quantization parameter frames, and applying non-deep learning video enhancement to high quantization parameter frames.

Abstract: A method, system, and article is directed to automatic content-dependent image processing algorithm selection.

Abstract: A method for image content classification is described herein. The method includes counting a number of distinct color numbers in an image. The method also includes clustering blocks with a same distinct color number into a same class and determining a block occupancy rate of each color number for the image. Finally, the method includes classifying the image according to the block occupancy rate via a plurality of classifiers communicatively coupled in series.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of video coding. Implementations herein provide methods for fast 3D video coding for high efficiency video coding HEVC. The methods speed up the view synthesis process during the rate distortion optimization for depth coding based on texture flatness. The implementations include extracting coding information from textures, analyzing luminance regularity among pixels from flat texture regions based on statistical method, judging the flat texture regions using the luminance regularity for depth maps and terminating the flat texture block's view synthesis process when processing rate distortion optimization. Compared to original pixel-by-pixel rendering methods, the implementations reduce coding time without causing significant performance loss.
