Abstract: A method is provided for inter-coding video in which transmission bandwidth requirements associated with second motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction is reduced. In the method, vector information for one of motion vectors for multi-directional temporal prediction can be transmitted together with information on how to derive or construct the second motion vectors. Thus, rather than sending express information regarding each of the plurality of motion vectors, express information related to only one motion vector along with information related to reconstruction/derivation of the second motion vectors is transmitted, thus reducing bandwidth requirements and increasing coding efficiency.

Abstract: A method is provided for inter-coding video in which encoder and decoder memory requirements associated with storage of motion information related to collocated coding units is reduced. In some embodiments motion information related to only a single or reduced set of collocated coding unit(s) may be stored at the encoder and decoder. In operation, motion information for multiple coding predictors is determined based upon scaling of motion information from motion information from one of the multiple coding predictors. Additionally, in some embodiments, where multiple lists of collocated picture are available for update, only of the multiple available lists may be updated.

Abstract: A method for inter-coding video is provided in which transmission bandwidth requirements associated with second motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction is reduced. In the method motion vector information for only one of the two motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction can be transmitted together with information on how to derive or construct the second motion vector. Thus, rather than sending express information regarding two motion vectors, express information related to only one motion vector along with information related to reconstruction/derivation of the second motion vector is transmitted, thus reducing bandwidth requirements and increasing coding efficiency.

Abstract: A method is provided for inter-coding video in which coding units can be encoded using multiple local illumination compensation (LIC) values to more accurately and efficiently transmit and render video. In the method, two or more LIC values can be established for a single coding unit (CU) such that the CU can be coded using multiple LIC values instead of a single LIC value as employed in present systems.

Abstract: An improved method for temporal motion vector prediction for inter block HEVC is provided that relies on a block translational model. The method adds an offset to a temporal motion vector predictor (TMVP) to improve prediction accuracy. The method first designates a current prediction block as an area for motion compensation where all the pixels inside the prediction block perform identical translation temporally using motion vectors MVs. A coordinate offset is then derived for a current prediction block from the MVs of its spatially neighboring blocks. The offset TMVP is then defined for the current prediction block as the MV of an offset block which is in the geometrical location of the current prediction block coordinate plus the coordinate offset in a specified temporal reference picture. The offset TMVP is then used to code MVs.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a variable, BitDepth, that may be set at a value based on a number of bits used to represent pixels in pictures of a video. The variable may be used in syntax elements in HEVC, such as the HEVC range extension, but other coding standards may be used. By using the variable, different resolutions for the video may be accommodated during the encoding and decoding process. For example, the number of pixels in the pictures may be represented by 8 bits, 10 bits, 12 bits, or another number of bits depending on the resolution. Using the BitDepth variable in the syntax provides flexibility in the motion estimation and motion compensation process. For example, syntax elements used in the weighted prediction process may take into account different numbers of bits used to represent the pictures.

In some embodiments motion information related to only a single collocated coding unit may be stored at the encoder and decoder. In operation, if the encoder determines that motion information for a current coding unit should replace the currently stored motion information for the currently stored motion information for the collocated coding unit, then the encoder can replace the motion information at the encoder and transmit an indicator with the current coding unit to signal to the decoder that the motion information currently stored should be updated or replaced with the motion information associated with the current coding unit.

A top template, a left template and a top-left template can be defined wherein the width of the top template is equal to the width of the coding block, the height of the left template is equal to the height of the coding block, but the second dimensions (height and width) of the templates are variable. A best match between the current coding block is then identified and the coding block is then encoded using FRUC.
