Abstract: Techniques are described for processing video data to conform to a high dynamic range (HDR)/wide color gamut (WCG) color container. Operations may be applied to video data in certain color spaces to enable compression of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) video in such a way that an existing receiver without HDR and WCG capabilities would be able to display a viewable Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) video from the received bitstream without any additional processing. Certain embodiments enable delivery of a single bitstream from which an existing decoder obtains the viewable SDR video directly and an HDR capable receiver reconstruct the HDR and WCG video by applying the specified processing. Such embodiments may improve the compression efficiency of hybrid based video coding systems utilized for coding HDR and WCG video data.

Abstract: In palette-based coding, a video coder may form a so-called “palette” as a table of colors representing the video data of a given block. The video coder may code index values for one or more pixels values of a current block of video data, where the index values indicate entries in the palette that represent the pixel values of the current block. According to the techniques, a video coder determines one or more palette entries in a predictive palette that are copied to the current palette, and a number of new palette entries not in the predictive palette that are included in the current palette. The video coder calculates a size of the current palette equal to the sum of the number of the copied palette entries and the number of the new palette entries, and generates the current palette including the copied palette entries and the new palette entries.

Abstract: Techniques are described for coding residual data of a prediction residual block in either a lossy or lossless coding mode, in which a transform is skipped or bypassed. The techniques of this disclosure include determining whether to reposition, e.g., rotate or flip, residual data of a residual block prior to coding the residual data of the residual block. For both the lossy and lossless coding modes, a video coding device determines whether to reposition residual data of a residual block based on a prediction mode of the residual block and a size of the residual block. In some examples, the techniques disable repositioning for all residual blocks in the inter-prediction mode and the intra block copying prediction mode, and determine to reposition residual blocks in the intra-prediction mode when the residual blocks have block sizes that are less than or equal to a threshold size.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for processing high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG) video data for video coding. A device comprising a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may store compacted fractional chromaticity coordinate (FCC) formatted video data. The processor may inverse compact the compacted FCC formatted video data using one or more inverse adaptive transfer functions (TFs) to obtain decompacted FCC formatted video data. The processor may next inverse adjust a chromaticity component of the decompacted FCC formatted video data based on a corresponding luminance component of the decompacted FCC formatted video data to obtain inverse adjusted FCC formatted video data. The processor may convert the chromaticity component of the inverse adjusted FCC formatted video data from the FCC format to a color representation format to obtain High Dyanmic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) video data.

Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and reducing the incidence of artifacts in video using color gamut scalability (CGS) parameters and tables in scalable video coding (SVC). Derivation of CGS mapping tables are performed for each partition of pixel values in a color space. The pixel value domain is split into partitions and each is optimized independently. Color prediction techniques for CGS may be used by video encoders and/or video decoders to generate inter-layer reference pictures when a color gamut for a lower layer of video data is different than a color gamut for a higher layer of the video data. When mapped values are used as inter-layer predication references for the enhancement layer blocks, artifacts may appear in some frames of the sequences. A video encoder may identify blocks that potentially contain these artifacts and disable inter-layer prediction in those identified blocks.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to processing video data, including processing video data to conform to a high dynamic range (HDR)/wide color gamut (WCG) color container. The techniques apply, on an encoding side, pre-processing of color values prior to application of a static transfer function and/or apply post-processing on the output from the application of the static transfer function. By applying pre-processing, the examples may generate color values that when compacted into a different dynamic range by application of the static transfer function linearize the output codewords. By applying post-processing, the examples may increase signal to quantization noise ratio. The examples may apply the inverse of the operations on the encoding side on the decoding side to reconstruct the color values.
