Intra coding is an indispensable part of all video coding systems. However, the intra prediction in the HEVC standard has several limitations with respect to the available amount of information which is exploited for the prediction and the limited number of prediction directions per block. In this paper, we propose a novel contour-based multidirectional intra coding mode which combines computer vision...
The High Efficiency Video Coding standard and its screen content coding extension provide superior coding efficiency compared to predecessor standards. However, this coding efficiency is achieved at the expense of very complex encoders. One major complexity driver is the comprehensive rate distortion (RD) optimization. In this paper, we present a deep learning-based encoder control which replaces...
Screen content largely consists of static parts, e.g. static background. However, none of the available screen content coding tools fully employs this characteristic. In this paper we present the copy mode, a new coding mode specifically aiming at increased coding efficiency for static screen content. The basic principle of the copy mode is the direct copy of the collocated block from the reference...
In Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC), inter-layer prediction efficiency may be degraded because much high frequency information can be removed during: 1) the down-sampling/up-sampling process and, 2) the base layer coding/quantization process. In this paper, we present a method to enhance the quality of the inter-layer reference (ILR) picture by combining the high frequency information...
Upon the completion of the single-layer H.265/HEVC, scalable extensions of the H.265/HEVC standard, called Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC), are currently under development. Compared to the simulcast solution that simply compresses each layer separately, SHVC offers higher coding efficiency by means of inter-layer prediction which is implemented by inserting inter-layer reference (ILR)...
One main element of modern hybrid video coders consists of motion compensated prediction. It employs spatial or temporal neighborhood to predict the current sample or block of samples, respectively. The quality of motion compensated prediction largely depends on the similarity of the reference picture block used for prediction and the current picture block. In case of varying blur in the scene, e...
