Virtual reality applications make use of 360-degree panoramic or omnidirectional video with high resolution and high frame rate in order to create the immersive experience to the user. The user views only a portion of the captured 360-degree scene at each time instant, hence streaming the whole omnidirectional video in highest quality is not efficient. In order to alleviate the problem of bandwidth...
Fisheye cameras have become extremely popular in applications where the goal is to capture large fields of view with only one camera. However, the wide-angle fisheye imagery has special characteristics that may not be very well suited for modern video codecs that employ block-based translational motion model. This model fails to describe complex deformable motion which is often present in fisheye...
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard includes support for a large range of image representation formats and provides an excellent image compression capability. The High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) offers a convenient way to encapsulate HEVC coded images, image sequences and animations together with associated metadata into a single file. This paper discusses various features and...
Segment-based temporal prediction combined with higher-order motion models have been studied as an alternative to conventional block-based translational inter prediction. One example of such studies is known as motion hints, where an affine motion model has been used. In this paper, we explore the applicability of motion hints with an elastic motion model in generating reference frames for conventionally...
The goal of this work is to provide a low complexity video decoding solution for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) streams in applications where only a region of the video frames is needed to be decoded. This paper studies the problem of creating selfcontained (i.e., independently decodable) partitions in the HEVC streams. Further, the requirements for building self-contained regions are described,...
This paper reviews the multiview extension (MV-HEVC) of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. MV-HEVC is capable of multiview video coding with or without accompanying depth views. The key design concepts and design elements of MV-HEVC are described in the paper. Furthermore, the features and characteristics of MV-HEVC compared to other standardized video codec extensions for three-dimensional...
The Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) enables bitrate adaptation through different representations of the same content. It is common to encode random access point (RAP) pictures at segment boundaries to support representation switching. As an open group of pictures (GOP) results into a temporary discontinuity of the video playback due to the inability to decode some pictures when switching...
One use case that the scalable extension (SHVC) of the state-of-the-art High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard aims for is to support Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV broadcast in a backwards compatible way with the existing High Definition (HD) TV broadcast. However, since UHD content typically has higher bit-depth and wider color gamut in addition to increased spatial resolution, the compression...
