The encoder selects a second number of the highest pixel count bins from the second histogram. A third histogram is calculated from the concatenation of bits assigned to the first and second number of bins, and the highest pixel count bins are selected from the third histogram. A palette table is derived based on these highest pixel count bins selected from the third histogram, and the block of pixels is encoded using the palette table.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for calculating multi-pass histograms for palette table derivation are disclosed. An encoder calculates a first histogram for a first portion of most significant bits (MSBs) of pixel component values of a block of an image or video frame. Then, the encoder selects a given number of the highest pixel count bins from the first histogram. The encoder then increases the granularity of these selected highest pixel count bins by evaluating one or more additional bits from the pixel component values. A second histogram is calculated for the concatenation of the original first portion MSBs from the highest pixel count bins and the one or more additional bits, and the highest pixel count bins are selected from the second histogram. A palette table is derived based on these highest pixel count bins selected from the second histogram, and the block is encoded using the palette table.

Abstract: An encoder implements a residual-free palette encoding mode in which a block of pixels is used to derive a palette table having a number of palette colors less than a number of pixel colors in the block of pixels, and to derive a color map representing each pixel of the block with a corresponding index number associated with a palette color that most closely matches the pixel's color. The calculations of residuals representing errors between the predicted palette colors and the actual pixel colors are omitted during the encoding process, thereby facilitating implementation of less complex palette mode encoder hardware at the expense of slight loss of color accuracy. Moreover, when multiple encoding modes are available, the encoder can employ the residual-free palette encoding mode when the rate-distortion cost or other cost of using this mode is determined to be the lowest cost of the plurality of encoding modes.
