Digital video compression technologies may enable efficient digital video communication, distribution and consumption, such as H.261, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4 part2 and H.264/MPEG-4 part 10 AVC.
Compared to traditional digital video services, such as sending TV signals over satellite, cable and terrestrial transmission channels, more and more video applications, such as IPTV, video chat, mobile video, and streaming video, may be deployed in heterogeneous environments. For example, video applications may provide video streaming in networks with different size cells, and/or the like. Heterogeneity may exist on or at a client, as well as in a network. For example, on the client side, an N-screen scenario that is consuming video content on devices with varying screen sizes and display capabilities, including a smart phone, tablet, PC and TV, and/or the like may be provided and/or used. On the network side, video may be transmitted across the Internet, WiFi networks, mobile (3G and 4G) networks, and/or any combination thereof
Scalable video coding may encode a signal once at the highest resolution. Scalable video coding may enable decoding from subsets of the streams depending on the specific rate and resolution required by certain application and/or supported by the client device. The resolution may be defined by a number of video parameters including, but not limited to, spatial resolution (e.g., picture size), temporal resolution (e.g., frame rate), video quality (e.g., subjective quality such as MOS, and/or objective quality such as PSNR or SSIM or VQM), and/or the like. Other commonly used video parameters may include a chroma format (e.g., such as YUV420 or YUV422 or YUV444), bit-depth (e.g., such as 8-bit or 10-bit video), complexity, view, gamut, and/or aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9 or 4:3). International video standards such as MPEG-2 Video, H.263, MPEG4 Visual and H.264 may have tools and/or profiles that support scalability modes.
Scalable video coding may enable the transmission and decoding of partial bitstreams. The transmission and decoding of partial bitstreams may enable a scalable video coding (SVC) system to provide video services with lower temporal and/or spatial resolutions or reduced fidelity, while retaining a relatively high reconstruction quality (e.g., given respective rates of the partial bitstreams). SVC may be implemented with single loop decoding, such that an SVC decoder may set up one motion compensation loop at a layer being decoded, and may not set up motion compensation loops at one or more other lower layers. For example, a bitstream may include two layers, including a first layer (e.g., layer 1) that may be a base layer and a second layer (e.g., layer 2) that may be an enhancement layer. When such an SVC decoder reconstructs layer 2 video, the setup of a decoded picture buffer and motion compensated prediction may be limited to layer 2. In such an implementation of SVC, respective reference pictures from lower layers may not be fully reconstructed, which may reduce computational complexity and/or memory consumption at the decoder.
Single loop decoding may be achieved by constrained inter-layer texture prediction, where, for a current block in a given layer, spatial texture prediction from a lower layer may be permitted if a corresponding lower layer block is coded in intra mode. This may be referred to as restricted intra prediction. When a lower layer block is coded in intra mode, it may be reconstructed without motion compensation operations and/or a decoded picture buffer.
SVC may implement one or more additional inter-layer prediction techniques such as motion vector prediction, residual prediction, mode prediction, etc., from one or more lower layers. This may improve rate-distortion efficiency of an enhancement layer. An SVC implementation with single loop decoding may exhibit reduced computational complexity and/or reduced memory consumption at the decoder, and may exhibit increased implementation complexity, for example, due to reliance on block-level inter-layer prediction. To compensate for a performance penalty that may be incurred by imposing a single loop decoding constraint, encoder design and computation complexity may be increased to achieve desired performance. Coding of interlaced content may not be supported by SVC.
In the example scalable video coding system of
Relying on the coding of a residual signal (e.g., a differential signal between two layers) for layers other than the base layer, for example using the example SVC system of
Multi-view video coding (MVC) may provide view scalability. In an example of view scalability, a base layer bitstream may be decoded to reconstruct a conventional two-dimensional (2D) video, and one or more additional enhancement layers may be decoded to reconstruct other view representations of the same video signal. When such views are combined together and displayed by a three-dimensional (3D) display, 3D video with proper depth perception may be produced.
MPEG frame compatible (MFC) video coding may provide a scalable extension to 3D video coding. For example, MFC may provide a scalable extension to frame compatible base layer video (e.g., two views packed into the same frame), and may provide one or more enhancement layers to recover full resolution views. Stereoscopic 3D video may have two views, including a left and a right view. Stereoscopic 3D content may be delivered by packing and/or multiplexing the two views into one frame, and by compressing and transmitting the packed video. At a receiver side, after decoding, the frames may be unpacked and displayed as two views. Such multiplexing of the views may be performed in the temporal domain or the spatial domain. When performed in the spatial domain, in order to maintain the same picture size, the two views may be spatially downsampled (e.g., by a factor of two) and packed in accordance with one or more arrangements. For example, a side-by-side arrangement may put the downsampled left view on the left half of the picture and the downsampled right view on the right half of the picture. Other arrangements may include top-and-bottom, line-by-line, checkerboard, etc. The arrangement used to achieve frame compatible 3D video may be conveyed by one or more frame packing arrangement SEI messages, for example. Although such arrangement may achieve 3D delivery with minimal increase in bandwidth consumption, spatial downsampling may cause aliasing in the views and/or may reduce the visual quality and user experience of 3D video.
Video applications, such as IPTV, video chat, mobile video, and/or streaming video, may be deployed in heterogeneous environments. Heterogeneity may exist on the client side. Heterogeneity may exist in a network. An N-screen may comprise consuming video content on devices with varying screen sizes and/or display capabilities, including smart phones, tablets, PCs, and/or TVs. An N-screen may contribute to heterogeneity, for example, on the client side. Video may be transmitted across the Internet, WiFi networks, mobile networks (e.g., 3G and/or 4G), and/or any combination of these networks, for example, on the network side. Scalable video coding may improve the user experience and/or video quality of service. Scalable video coding may involve encoding a signal at the highest resolution. Scalable video coding may involve enabling decoding from subsets of streams, for example, depending on the available network bandwidth and/or video resolution used by certain applications and/or supported by the client device. Resolution may be characterized by a number of video parameters. Video parameters may comprise one or more of the following: spatial resolution, temporal resolution, video quality, chroma format, bit-depth, complexity, view, color gamut, and/or aspect ratio, etc. Spatial resolution may comprise picture size. Temporal resolution may comprise frame rate. Video quality may comprise subjective quality, such as MOS, and/or objective quality, such as PSNR, SSIM or VQM. Chroma format may comprise YUV420, YUV422 or YUV444, etc. Bit-depth may comprise 8-bit video, 10-bit video, etc. Aspect ratio may comprise 16:9 or 4:3, etc. HEVC scalable extension may support at least spatial scalability (e.g., the scalable bitstream may include signals at more than one spatial resolution), quality scalability (e.g., the scalable bitstream may include signals at more than one quality level), and/or standard scalability (e.g., the scalable bitstream may include a base layer coded using H.264/AVC and one or more enhancement layers coded using HEVC). In spatial scalability, the scalable bitstream may comprise signals at one or more spatial resolution. In quality scalability, the scalable bitstream may comprise signals at one or more quality levels. In standard scalability, the scalable bitstream may comprise a base layer coded using, for example, H.264/AVC, and one or more enhancement layers coded using, for example, HEVC. Quality scalability may be referred to as SNR scalability. View scalability may support 3D video applications. In view scalability, the scalable bitstream may include both 2D and 3D video signals.
A video coding system (e.g., a video coding system in accordance with scalable extensions of high efficiency video coding (SHVC)) may include one or more devices that are configured to perform video coding. A device that is configured to perform video coding (e.g., to encode and/or decode video signals) may be referred to as a video coding device. Such video coding devices may include video-capable devices, for example, a television, a digital media player, a DVD player, a Blu-ray™ player, a networked media player device, a desktop computer, a laptop personal computer, a tablet device, a mobile phone, a video conferencing system, a hardware and/or software based video encoding system, or the like. Such video coding devices may include wireless communications network elements, such as a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a base station, a gateway, or other network elements.
Scalable enhancements of HEVC may be discussed herein. One or more targets may have been established, for example, for spatial scalability. The targets of 25% bit rate reduction for 2× spatial scalability and 50% bit rate reduction for 1.5× spatial scalability may be achieved, for example, compared to using non-scalable coding, measured for higher resolution video. Scalability may be used, for example, to broaden the use cases for scalable HEVC. Scalability may refer to the type of scalability when the base layer may be encoded with H.264/AVC, or MPEG2, while the one or more enhancement layers may be encoded using, for example, HEVC. Scalability may provide backward compatibility for legacy content that may be encoded using H.264/AVC, or MPEG2, and enhance the quality of the legacy content with one or more enhancement layers encoded with HEVC, that may provide better coding efficiency.
3D scalable video coding technique may be referred to as 3D video coding or 3DV. 3DV may be discussed herein. 3DV may develop various flavors of view scalability that may be targeted for autostereoscopic applications. Autostereoscopic displays and applications may allow or enable people to experience 3D without the cumbersome glasses. To achieve a suitable or good 3D experience without glasses, more than two views may be provided and/or used. Coding many views (e.g., such as 9 views or 10 views) may be expensive. 3DV may provide and/or use a hybrid approach of coding a few views (e.g., 2 or 3 views) with relatively large disparity together with the depth maps that may provide depth information of the views. At the display side, the coded views and depth maps may be decoded, and the remaining views may be generated using the decoded views and their depth maps using, for example, view synthesis technologies. 3DV may consider various methods to code the views and the depth maps, for example, coding the views and the depth maps using a combination of different techniques, such as H.264/AVC, MVC and HEVC, including coding the base layer with one technique (e.g., H.264/AVC) and coding one or more enhancement layers with another technique (e.g., HEVC). 3DV may provide a menu of different options from which applications may choose.
Table 1 may summarize an example of the different types of scalabilities discussed herein. At the bottom of Table 1, bit-depth scalability and chroma format scalability may be tied to video formats (e.g., higher than 8-bit video and/or chroma sampling formats higher than YUV4:2:0) used by professional video applications. Bit-depth scalability and chroma format scalability may be utilized. Aspect ratio scalability and color gamut scalability may be provided and/or used as desirable scalability (e.g., but may not be currently provided, used, and/or planned for the first phase of scalable HEVC development).
Color gamut scalability. Color gamut scalable (CGS) coding may be multi-layer coding where two or more layers may have different color gamut and bit-depth. For example, as shown in Table 1, in a 2-layer scalable system, the base layer may be a HDTV color gamut as defined in BT.709 and the enhancement layer may be a UHDTV color gamut as defined in BT.2020. P3 color gamut is a color gamut that may be used. The P3 color gamut may be used in digital cinema applications. The inter-layer process in CGS coding may use color gamut conversion techniques to convert a base layer color gamut to an enhancement layer color gamut. After color gamut conversion may be applied, the inter layer reference pictures generated may be used to predict the enhancement layer pictures, for example, with better or improved accuracy.
As shown in
The BL encoder 518 may include, for example, a high efficiency video coding (HEVC) video encoder or an H.264/AVC video encoder. The BL encoder 518 may be configured to generate the BL bitstream 532 using one or more BL reconstructed pictures (e.g., stored in the BL DPB 320) for prediction. The EL encoder 504 may include, for example, an HEVC encoder. The EL encoder 504 may include one or more high level syntax modifications, for example, to support inter-layer prediction by adding inter-layer reference pictures to the EL DPB. The EL encoder 504 may be configured to generate the EL bitstream 508 using one or more EL reconstructed pictures (e.g., stored in the EL DPB 506) for prediction.
One or more reconstructed BL pictures in the BL DPB 520 may be processed, at inter-layer processing (ILP) unit 522, using one or more picture level inter-layer processing techniques, including one or more of upsampling (e.g., for spatial scalability), color gamut conversion (e.g., for color gamut scalability), or inverse tone mapping (e.g., for bit depth scalability). The one or more processed reconstructed BL pictures may be used as reference pictures for EL coding. Inter-layer processing may be performed based on enhancement video information 514 received from the EL encoder 504 and/or the base video information 516 received from the BL encoder 518. This may improve EL coding efficiency.
At 526, the EL bitstream 508, the BL bitstream 532, and the parameters used in inter-layer processing such as ILP information 524, may be multiplexed together into a scalable bitstream 512. For example, the scalable bitstream 512 may include an SHVC bitstream.
The model parameters for color gamut conversion may be different for different content, for example, even when the BL color gamut and the EL color gamut may be fixed (e.g., BL may be in 709 and may be EL in 2020). These parameters may depend on the color grading process during post production in content generation where the colorists may apply different grading parameters to different spaces and/or different content to reflect his or her artistic intent. The input video for color grading may include high fidelity pictures. In a scalable coding system, coding of the BL pictures may introduce quantization noise. With coding structures such as the hierarchical prediction structure, the level of quantization may be adjusted per picture and/or per group of pictures. The model parameters generated from color grading may not be sufficiently accurate for coding purposes. In an embodiment, it may be more effective for the encoder to compensate the coding noise by estimating the model parameters at any point. The encoder may estimate the model parameters per picture or per groups of pictures. These model parameters, for example, generated during color grading process and/or by the encoder, may be signaled to the decoder at the sequence and/or picture level so the decoder may perform the same color gamut conversion process during inter-layer prediction.
Color gamut conversion examples may include, but are not limited to, linear or piece-wise linearc color conversions. In the film industry, a 3D Look-up Table (3D LUT) may be used for color gamut conversion from one color gamut method or technique to another. Additionally, 3D LUT for CGS coding may be provided and/or used.
The input of the 3D LUT may be (y, u, v) in the BL color gamut and the output of 3D LUT may be the mapped triplet (Y, U, V) in EL color gamut. For example, referring to
Referring to Equations (1)-(3) and
3D LUT may be estimated by the encoder, for example, using an original signal in one color space and the corresponding signal in another color space. For example, a Least Square (LS) estimation method may be used to estimate a 3D LUT, for example, if a 3D LUT interpolation technique or process is linear. A gradient descent based iterative technique may be used for estimation. As described herein, a 3D LUT estimation may be performed with a LS estimation method.
There may be challenges for 3D LUT estimation with LS. For example, the scale of 3D LUT parameters that may be estimated may be large. In
The 3D LUT may not be fully used for color gamut conversion of a given video input. For example, in a statistical analysis of one or more test sequences used in core experiments of color gamut scalability, a percentage of used entries in 3D LUT may be less than 20%. In such an embodiment, a LS estimation method may not be able to be directly applied because there may be one or more entries that may not be measured.
A distribution of BL pixels may not be even in a 3D color space. For example, such BL pixels may cluster around some colors (e.g., major colors) and may be distributed sparsely around other colors. This unbalanced characteristic may be related to a stability of the LS estimation as may be described herein.
To address one or more of such challenges, systems and/or methods may be provided to improve 3D LUT estimation. For example, a BT.709 to BT.2020 color gamut conversion may be described herein. For example, the input signal in 3D LUT estimation may be the BT.709 compressed/uncompressed video, and the output signal may be BT.2020 video (e.g., which may be the training reference or target). Equation (7) may be used to describe the color gamut conversion process with 3D LUT.
zi(c)=ƒP(c)(xi), i ∈ [0,N−1] (7)
where x may denote an input signal in the form of triplet (y,u,v) in BT.709. z(c) may be the output signal of component c where c may be Y, U or V in BT.2020. P(c) may be the parameters of component c to be estimated. P(c) may be the 3D LUT output of component c. fP(c) may be the interpolation function. fP(c) may be a linear function, such as trilinear or tetrahedral as described herein. i may be the index of input pixel. N may be the total number of input pixels. Rewriten in the form of matrices it may be as follows:
zi(c)=(c)*P(c), i ∈ [0,N−1] (8)
where * in Equation(8) may be matrix multiplication. (c) may be the weighting vector for the i-th input pixel. wi,j may be the weight of the j-th output entry of 3D LUT for the i-th input pixel. In an example, wi,j may be calculated according to Equation (1)-(3) for trilinear interpolation and Equation (4)-(6) for tetrahedral interpolation. The weighting vector may be as follows in an example:
(c)=[wi,0 . . . wi,M−1], i ∈ [0,N−1]
P(c) may be the parameter vector to be estimated, which may be the output entries of 3D LUT, and may be as follows:
P(c)=[p0 . . . pM−1]
M may be the number of 3D LUT output entries. For example M may be 4913 for 17×17×17 sized 3D LUT. In an example, the component c may be omitted in the following equations as the 3D LUT of one or more (e.g., each) component may be estimated independently. Aggregating Equation (8) for one or more (e.g., all) pixels, the following may be defined or provided:
With Least Square estimation, the solution may be as follows:
P=H−1*(WT*Z) (11)
H=(WT*W) (12)
where H may be the auto-correlation matrix.
3D LUT estimation may be described herein. For example, for an input video signal such as BT.709, 3D LUT entries (e.g., 20% of 3D LUT entries) may be used in color conversion with 3D LUT. This may mean the matrix W in Equation (10) may be sparse and one or more of its elements may be zeros. An auto-correlation matrix H may be defined in Equation (12). The auto-correlation matrix H may be sparse. The auto-correlation matrix H may not be inversible. The solution in Equation (11) may not be available for the auto-correlation matrix H. In an example, the matrix W may be compacted by considering referenced entries of 3D LUT. To compact the matrix, the input pixels (y,u,v) of the input video may be scanned. The 3D LUT vertices may be masked, for example, if the vertices may be used in a 3D LUT interpolation process. The compact parameter set P′ may be determined, calculated, or generated by removing the unused vertices. A mapping from P′ to P that may be used to reconstruct P after P′ may be estimated and/or built, for example, as
P′=compact(P)
W′ and H′ may be calculated using the compacted P′, for example, where unused vertices may have been removed. The solution may be defined as:
P′=H′−1*(W′T*Z) (13)
H′=(W′T*W′) (14)
3D LUT estimation may reduce the sparsity of the matrix W. The memory that may be used to store the auto-correlation matrix H for the 3D LUT estimation may be reduced, for example, after compaction since the size of H′ may be smaller than H.
As described herein, a color distribution of an input video may not be even. For example, pixels may have similar colors. Colors with high occurrence rates may be major colors. This may cause an unbalance problem with W′. For example, elements in W′ may correspond to major colors may have large values. Other elements in W′ may correspond to colors that may not occur often (e.g., relatively often or rarely) may have low or smaller values. The result may be that the dynamic range of elements in the auto correlation matrix H′ may be large, which may cause the inversion process of H′ to become unstable. The estimation of P′ may become unstable. To reduce such a problem, a constraint may be provided and/or used to establish a trade-off between accurate estimation results and stability of the estimation process. For example,
H′=(W′T*W′)+λI, λ≥0 (15)
where I may be a unary matrix, and λ may be the factor to balance between the estimation accuracy and stability of the process. A larger λ may mean more bias may be put on the stability of the method or process. The value of λ may be determined based on the extent of unbalance in W′.
The original parameter vector P may be obtained by mapping the estimated vertices from P′ to P, for example, after the compact parameter vector P′ may be estimated. For example,
P=decompact(P′) (16)
The unused vertices in P may be filled using the corresponding vertices in P′, for example, using the interpolation process (e.g., trilinear or tetrahedral) in 3D LUT coding.
As described herein,
As shown in

Misalignment of sampling locations may reduce the accuracy of 3D LUT estimation. For example as shown in
For luma component interpolation, a plurality of sampling locations of one or more chroma components (e.g., a red difference chroma component and/or blue difference chroma component) may be used to align the chroma components to the luma component sample location. For a chroma component interpolation, one or more sampling locations of the luma component may be used to align the luma component to the chroma component sampling location. Once aligned, a color component conversion model, such as a 3D LUT, may be used to translate a component (e.g., luma or chroma) from one color space to another. Translating a component from one color space to another color space may be determining the component in the second color space, for example, using the component in the first color space (e.g., at a particular sampling location).
The video coding device may receive a scalable bitstream. The scalable bitstream may comprise a base layer and an enhancement layer. The base layer may comprise the picture and the base layer may be associated with the first color space. The enhancement layer may be associated with the second color space.
The input for 3D LUT conversion may signal components (e.g., (y, u, v)) in one color space (e.g., BT.709), and the output of 3D LUT conversion may be the components (e.g., (Y, U, V)) in another color space (e.g., BT. 2020). For chroma component conversion, the luma component y may be adjusted to y′ to align to the chroma component sampling location. The interpolation filter may be Equations (17)-(18). The input for 3D LUT conversion of chroma component may be (y′, u, v), and the output may be U or V. The interpolation filter may be a 2-tap filter [1, 1], a 4-tap filter, and/or the like.
A video coding device may receive a picture associated with a first color space. The picture may comprise a first chroma component at a first sampling location, a second chroma component at the first sampling location, a luma component at a second sampling location, a luma component at a third sampling location, a luma component at a fourth sampling location, and a luma component at a fifth sampling location. The video coding device may apply a first interpolation filter to two or more of the luma component at the second sampling location, the luma component at the third sampling location, the luma component at the fourth sampling location, and the luma component at the fifth sampling location to determine the luma component at the first sampling location, wherein the luma component at the first sampling location is associated with the first color space. The video coding device may apply a color conversion model to the first chroma component at the first sampling location, the second chroma component at the first sampling location, and to the luma component at the first sampling location to translate the first chroma component at the first sampling location to a second color space. The video coding device may apply the color conversion model to the first chroma component at the first sampling location, the second chroma component at the first sampling location, and to the luma component at the first sampling location to translate the second chroma component at the first sampling location to the second color space. The first chroma component and/or the second chroma component may be a red difference chroma component and/or a blue difference chroma component, for example, if the YCbCr format is used. The first chroma component and/or the second chroma component may be a green difference chroma component and/or an orange difference chrom component, for example, if the YCgCo format is used. It should be noted that the descriptions herein may be applicable to color spaces represented in other formats.
As shown in
Interpolation filters, (e.g., those shown in Equations (17)-(18)) may be used to align the luma component to the sampling location of the chroma component such that the conversion model may be used. For example, the luma component at a sampling location of a chroma component (e.g., sampling location C0) may be determined by applying an interpolation filter using the luma component at two or more luma sampling locations (e.g., sampling locations L0, L1, L4, and/or L5), for example, as described with reference to Equations (17)-(18). The sampling location of a chroma component may comprise two or more chroma components, for example, a red difference chroma component Cr0 and corresponding blue difference chroma component Cb0). The luma component at the sampling location C0 and chroma components at the sampling location C0 may be used to translate the chroma component at the location C0 from a first color space to a second color space.
For example, as discussed herein, when converting a chroma component from one color space to another, the value of the luma component at the chroma component sampling location may be determined. To determine value of the luma component at a sampling location of a chroma component (e.g., sampling location C0), a video coding device may use a four-tap interpolation filter or a two-tap interpolation filter. The video coding device may determine which interpolation filter to use based on the sampling location of the chroma component on the x-y axis in
For example, the luma component at the sampling location CO may be determined using a four-tap filter, for example, as shown in Equation (17):
L(C0)=((L0+L4)*3+(L1+L5)+4)>>3 (17)
where >>3 may mean the sum of ((L0+L4)*3+(L1+L5)+4) is divided by 23 and/or >>3 is calculated using right shift by three. If the sum of ((L0+L4)*3+(L1+L5)+4) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 23. In Equation 17, to determine the luma component at the sampling location C0, a video coding device may apply an interpolation filter in which the luma component at sampling location L0 is added to the luma component at a different sampling location L4 to determine a sum. The video coding device may then multiply the sum by three, and add the multiplied sum to the luma component at sampling location L1, the luma component at sampling location L5 and four to determine a final sum. An integer sum of the final sum may be determined. The video coding device may then divide this integer sum by 8 to determine the luma component at the sampling location C0. The luma component at the sampling locations C1, C2, and C3 may be determined using Equation 17 with the appropriate luma components.
The luma component at the sampling location CO may be determined using a two-tap filter. An example of a two-tap filter that may be used is provide in Equation (18):
L(C0)=(L0+L4+1)>>1 (18)
where >>1 may mean the sum of (L1+L4 +1) is divided by 21 and/or >>1 is calculated using right shift by one. If the sum of (L0+L4 +1) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 21. In Equation 18, to determine the luma component for the sampling location C0, a video coding device may apply a two-tap interpolation filter in which the luma component at a sampling location L0 is added to the luma component at a different sampling location L4 and one to determine a sum. An integer sum of the final sum may be determined. The video coding device may then divide the integer value of the sum by two to determine the luma component at the sampling location C0. The luma component at the sampling locations C1, C2, and C3 may be determined using Equation 18 with the appropriate luma components.
The video coding device may translate (e.g., determine) a chroma component at the sampling location C0 in a second color space using the luma component at the sampling location C0 in the first color space and both of the chroma components at the sampling location C0 in the first color space using a conversion model, for example, a 3D LUT as described herein. As noted, the luma component at the sampling location C0 may be determined using an interpolation filter, for example, as shown in Equation (17) or (18).
A video coding device may receive a picture associated with a first color space. The picture may comprise a luma component at a first sampling location, a first chroma component at a second sampling location, a second chroma component at the second sampling location, the first chroma component at a third sampling location, the second chroma component at the third sampling location, the first chroma component at a fourth sampling location, the second chroma component at the fourth sampling location, the first chroma component at a fifth sampling location, and the second chroma component at the fifth sampling location. The video coding device may apply an interpolation filter to two or more of the first chroma component at the second sampling location, the first chroma component at the third sampling location, the first chroma component at the fourth sampling location, and the first chroma component at the fifth sampling location to determine the first chroma component at the first sampling location, wherein the first chroma component at the first sampling location is associated with the first color space. The video coding device may apply the interpolation filter to two or more of the second chroma component at the second sampling location, the second chroma component at the third sampling location, the second chroma component at the fourth sampling location, and the second chroma component at the fifth sampling location to determine the second chroma component at the first sampling location, wherein the second chroma component at the first sampling location is associated with the first color space. The video coding device may apply a color conversion model to the luma component at the first sampling location, the first chroma component at the first sampling location, and the second chroma component at the first sampling location to translate the luma component at the first sampling location to a second color space. The first chroma component and/or the second chroma component may be a red difference chroma component and/or a blue difference chroma component
As shown in
Interpolation filters (e.g., those shown in Equations (19)-(22)) may be used to align a chroma component to the sampling location of the luma component such that the conversion model may be used. For example, a chroma component at a sampling location of a luma component (e.g., sampling location L4, L5, L8, and/or L9) may be determine by applying a resampling filter using the chroma component at two or more sampling locations (e.g., sampling locations C0, C1, C2, and/or C3). As such, a resampled value of a component (e.g., a value of the component at a different sampling location) may be determined using the component at a plurality of other sampling locations. For example, the luma component at the sampling locations L4, L5, L8, and/or L9 in
For example, as discussed herein, when converting a luma component from one color space to another, the value of the chroma component (e.g., the red difference chroma component and/or the blue difference chroma component) at the luma component sampling location may be determined. To determine value of the chroma component at a sampling location of a luma component (e.g., sampling location L0, L1, L4, L5), a video coding device may use a four-tap interpolation filter or a two-tap interpolation filter. The video coding device may determine which interpolation filter to use based on the sampling location of the luma component on the x-y axis in
The chroma component at the sampling location L4 may be derived using Equation (19):
C(L4)=(C0*3+C2+2)>>2 (19)
where >>2 may mean the sum of (C0*3+C2+2) is divided by 22 and/or >>2 is calculated using right shift by two. If the sum of (C0*3+C2+2) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 22. In Equation (19), to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L4, a video coding device may apply an interpolation filter in which the chroma component (e.g., Cr0 or Cb0) at sampling location C0 is multiplied by three, then the sum is added to the chroma component (e.g., Cr2 or Cb2) at a different chroma sampling location C2, and that sum is added to two to determine a final sum. An integer value of the final sum may be determined. The interpolation filer may divide the integer sum by four to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L4. The value of a plurality of chroma components (e.g., cr and cb, u and v, etc.) at the sampling location L4 may be determined using an interpolation filer (e.g., Equation (19)). The chroma component at other sampling locations (e.g., the sampling locations L6, L14, L112) may be determined using Equation (19) using the chroma component at the appropriate sampling locations.
The chroma component at the sampling location L8 may be derived using Equation (20). The chroma component at the sampling location L8 may be similar to the derived chroma component for the sampling location L4. Equation (20) is provided herein:
C(L8)=(C0+C2*3+2)>>2 (20)
where >>2 may mean the sum of (C0+C2*3 +2) is divided by 22 and/or >>2 is calculated using right shift by two. If the sum of (C0+C2*3 +2) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 22. In Equation (20), to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L8, a video coding device may apply an interpolation filter in which the chroma component (e.g., Cr2 or Cb2) at sampling location C2 is multiplied by three, then the sum is added to the chroma component (e.g., Cr0 or Cb0) at a different sampling location C0, and that sum is added to two to determine a final sum. An integer value of the final sum may be determined. The interpolation filer may divide the integer sum by four to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L8. The chroma component for sampling locations L8, L2, L10 may be determined using Equation (20) with the appropriate sampling locations of the chroma component. The value of a plurality of chroma components (e.g., Cr and Cb, u and v, etc.) at the sampling location L8 may be determined using an interpolation filer (e.g., Equation (20)).
The chroma component at the sampling location L5 may be determined using Equation (21), for example, as follows:
C(L5)=((C0+C1)*3+(C2+C3)+4)>>3 (21)
where >>3 may mean the sum of ((C0+C1)*3 +(C2+C3) +4) is divided by 23 and/or >>3 is calculated using right shift by three. If the sum of ((C0+C1)*3 +(C2+C3) +4) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 23. In Equation (21), to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L5, a video coding device may apply an interpolation filter in which the chroma component (e.g., Cr0 or Cb0) at sampling location C0 is added to the chroma component (e.g., Cr1 and Cb1) at a different sampling location C1. The video coding device may then multiply the sum of the sampling location C1 and the sampling location C0 by three, and add the multiplied sum to the chroma component at the sampling location C2 (e.g., Cr2 and Cb2), the chroma component at the sampling location C3 (e.g., Cr3 and Cb3) and four to determine a final sum. An integer value of the final sum may be determined. The video coding device may then divide this integer value by eight to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L5. The chroma component for sampling locations L7, L13, L15 may be determined using Equation (21) with the appropriate sampling locations of the chroma component. The value of a plurality of chroma components (e.g., Cr and Cb, u and v, etc.) at the sampling locations L5 may be determined using an interpolation filter (e.g., Equation (21)).
The derived chroma component for luma component at sampling location L9 may be similar to the derived chroma component for the luma component at sampling location L5. The chroma component at the sampling location L9 may be determined using Equation (22), for example, as follows:
C(L9)=((C0+C1)+(C2+C5)*3+4)>>3 (22)
where >>3 may mean the sum of ((C0+C1)+(C2+C5)*3 +4) is divided by 23 and/or >>3 is calculated using right shift by three. If the sum of ((C0+C1)+(C2+C5)*3 +4) is not an integer, the decimal may be disregarded prior to dividing the sum by 23. In Equation (22), to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L9, a video coding device may apply an interpolation filter in which the chroma component C0 (e.g., Cr0 or Cb0) at sampling location C0 is added to the chroma component C1 (e.g., Cr1 or Cb1) at sampling location C1. The video coding device may then add the chroma component (e.g., Cr2 or Cb2) at sampling location C2 to the chroma component (e.g., Cr5 or Cb5) at a different sampling location C5. The video coding device may then multiply the sum of the chroma component at the sampling location C2 and the chroma component at the sampling location C5 by three, and the multiplied sum may be added to the sum the chroma component at the sampling location C0 and the chroma component at the sampling location C1 and four to determine a final sum. An integer value of the final sum may be determined. The video coding device may then divide this integer value by eight to determine the chroma component at the sampling location L9. The chroma component for sampling locations L11, L1, L3 may be determined using Equation (22) with the appropriate chroma component sampling locations.
The interpolation filter for the luma component at the sampling locations L4 and L8 may be a two-tap filter, for example, a two-tap filter [1, 3] and [3, 1], respectively. For example, the interpolation filer for the luma component at the sampling location L4 and L8 may be the interpolation filter described with reference to Equation (19) and Equation (20), respectively. The interpolation filter for the luma component at the sampling locations L5 and L9 may be a four-tap filter, for example, a four-tap filter [3, 3, 1, 1] and [1, 1, 3, 3], respectively. For example, the interpolation filer for the luma component at the sampling location L5 and L9 may be the interpolation filter described with reference to Equation (21) and Equation (22), respectively.
