Abstract: Techniques and tools for conversion operations between modules in a scalable video encoding tool or scalable video decoding tool are described. For example, given reconstructed base layer video in a low resolution format (e.g., 4:2:0 video with 8 bits per sample) an encoding tool and decoding tool adaptively filter the reconstructed base layer video and upsample its sample values to a higher sample depth (e.g., 10 bits per sample). The tools also adaptively scale chroma samples to a higher chroma sampling rate (e.g., 4:2:2). The adaptive filtering and chroma scaling help reduce energy in inter-layer residual video by making the reconstructed base layer video closer to input video, which typically makes compression of the inter-layer residual video more efficient. The encoding tool also remaps sample values of the inter-layer residual video to adjust dynamic range before encoding, and the decoding tool performs inverse remapping after decoding.

Abstract: A method generates a high-resolution (HR) image from a low-resolution (LR) image using regression functions. During a training stage, training HR images are downsampled to LR images. A signature is determined for each LR-HR patch pair based on a local ternary pattern (LTP). The signature is a low dimensional descriptor used as an abstraction of the patch pair features. Then, patch pairs with the same signature are clustered, and a regression function which maps the LR patches to the HR patches is determined. In some cases patch pairs of similar signatures can be combined for learning and a single regression function determined, thus decreasing the number of required regression functions. During actual upscaling, LR patches of an input image are similarly processed to obtain the signatures and from the regression functions. The LR patches can then be upscaled using the training regression functions.
