Abstract: A method of decoding video data, the method comprising receiving a run-length sequence indicative of a binary vector, the binary vector comprising indications of locations of escape samples in a block of video data encoded using a palette-based coding mode, decoding the run-length sequence to obtain the binary vector, and decoding the block of video data using the binary vector. The method of claim 1 may further comprise receiving palette entries for the block of video data receiving one or more escape samples, and receiving a plurality of flags indicating the palette mode for each respective pixel in the block of video data.

Abstract: In an example, a method of processing video data includes determining an input parameter for a truncated binary code that represents a palette index for a pixel of a block of video data based on a number of indices in a palette for the block.

Abstract: Techniques are described for palette-based video coding. In palette-based coding, a video coder may form a so-called “palette” as a table of colors for representing video data of a given block of video data. Rather than coding actual pixel values or their residuals for the given block, the video coder may code index values for one or more of the pixels. The index values map the pixels to entries in the palette representing the colors of the pixels. Techniques are described for determining the application of deblocking filtering for pixels of palette coded blocks at a video encoder or a video decoder. In addition, techniques are described for determining quantization parameter (QP) values and delta QP values used to quantize escape pixel values of palette coded blocks at the video encoder or the video decoder.

Abstract: A video decoder may obtain a syntax element from a bitstream comprising an encoded representation of a block of video data. The block comprises a series of runs, each of which may consist of one pixel or two or more consecutive pixels. Furthermore, the video decoder may obtain a set of palette run length syntax elements indicating lengths of one or more of the runs. The video decoder may determine, based on the syntax element, that the palette run length syntax elements do not include a palette run length syntax element indicating a length of the first run. Rather, the video decoder determines, based on the lengths indicated by the set of palette run syntax elements, the length of the first run. The video decoder may determine, based on the palette sample modes of the pixels, palette indices of the pixels, each indicating an entry in a palette.

Abstract: Techniques are described to extend palette-mode coding techniques to cases where chroma components are at a different resolution than luma components. The entries of the palette table includes three color values and the three color values or a single one of the three color values are selected based on whether a pixel includes both a luma component and chroma components or only a luma component.

Abstract: In one example, a device for decoding video data includes a memory configured to store video data and a video decoder configured to determine that a value for a right shift parameter for an escape-mode coded pixel of a palette-mode coded block of the video data is less than zero, based on the value for the right shift parameter being less than zero, set a value for a left shift parameter to a positive value having an absolute value equal to an absolute value of the right shift parameter, and inverse quantize the escape-mode coded pixel using the value of the left shift parameter.

Abstract: In an example, a method of processing video data includes determining a value of a block-level syntax element that indicates, for all samples of a block of video data, whether at least one respective sample of the block is coded based on a color value of the at least one respective sample not being included in a palette of colors for coding the block of video data. The method also includes coding the block of video data based on the value.

Abstract: Techniques for sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering that focus on filtering the changed region of a picture or layer (e.g., the high frequency component of video blocks of a picture or layer) are described. The techniques may be referred to as High-Frequency-Pass SAO (HSAO) filtering. In one example, a method for coding video data comprises obtaining a decoded block of video data, separating the decoded block of video data into a low-frequency component and a high-frequency component, applying an SAO filter to the high-frequency component to generate a SAO filtered high-frequency component, and combining the SAO filtered high-frequency component and the low-frequency component to generate a filtered decoded block of video data.

Abstract: Techniques are described for palette-based video coding. In palette-based coding, a video coder may form a “palette” as a table of colors for representing video data of a particular area (e.g., a given block). Rather than coding actual pixel values (or their residuals), the video coder may code palette index values for one or more of the pixels that correspond to entries in the palette representing the colors of the pixels. A palette may be explicitly encoded, predicted from previous palette entries, or a combination thereof. In this disclosure, techniques are described for coding a block of video data that has a single color value using a single color mode as a sub-mode of a palette coding mode. The disclosed techniques enable a block having a single color value to be coded with a reduced number of bits compared to a normal mode of the palette coding mode.
