Abstract: For each content-mapped frame of a scene, it is determined whether the content mapped frame is susceptible to object fragmentation with respect to texture in a homogeneous region based on statistical values derived from the content-mapped image and a source image mapped into the content-mapped image. The homogeneous region is a region of consistent texture in the source image. Based on a count of content-mapped frames susceptible to object fragmentation in homogeneous region, it is determined whether the scene is susceptible to object fragmentation in homogeneous region. If so, an upper limit for mapped codewords for a prediction function for predicting codewords of a predicted image from the mapped codewords in the content-mapped image is adjusted. Mapped codewords above the upper limit are clipped to the upper limit.

Abstract: A video encoder or video decoder buffers multiple blocks of a reconstructed picture of a video sequence. The video encoder/decoder performs deblock filtering between at least some of the multiple blocks. As part of the deblock filtering, the video encoder/decoder selectively filters at least some sample values in a diagonal line that crosses a block-boundary intersection between two diagonally adjacent blocks. When filtering sample values at the block-boundary intersection between four blocks, the video encoder/decoder can evaluate characteristics of all four blocks and adjust sample values in a line between diagonally adjacent blocks. If there is a large visual difference between sample values at corner positions of two diagonally adjacent blocks, the difference can be smoothed by filtering sample values in a diagonal line. In this way, the quality of motion-compensated prediction using the reconstructed picture is improved in many cases.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention a cache unit organizes data stored in an attached memory to optimize accesses to compressed data. In operation, the cache unit introduces a layer of indirection between a physical address associated with a memory access request and groups of blocks in the attached memory. The layer of indirection—virtual tiles—enables the cache unit to selectively store compressed data that would conventionally be stored in separate physical tiles included in a group of blocks in a single physical tile. Because the cache unit stores compressed data associated with multiple physical tiles in a single physical tile and, more specifically, in adjacent locations within the single physical tile, the cache unit coalesces the compressed data into contiguous blocks. Subsequently, upon performing a read operation, the cache unit may retrieve the compressed data conventionally associated with separate physical tiles in a single read operation.
