Abstract: in some compression techniques, in-loop filters can be included to effectively remove coding artifacts and improve the objective quality measurement at the same time. to avoid increasing complexity in the encoder, a single pass encoding solution can be implemented to efficiently and effectively make reasonably optimal in-loop filtering decisions. the solution can improve the in-loop filtering bit usage (e.g., reduce bitrate) and reduce the complexity in the encoder at the same time.

CPC Code(s): H04N19/189



Abstract: a lightweight but effective adaptive coding tool selection system with content classification can be implemented to reduce complexity and maintain quality in a video encoder. content classification may classify a current frame between at least three classifications: screen content, weak screen content, and natural content. content classification may make use of two statistics, e.g., color number and variance, of blocks that are 8�8 pixels or larger in size. the statistics may be used to calculate three frame-level statistics, e.g., proportion/percentage of blocks with few colors, proportion/percentage of blocks with zero variance, and proportion/percentage of blocks with big/large variance. the frame-level statistics are used to classify the current frame. based on the classification, coding tool control flags or control signals may be generated accordingly to configure the encoder to, e.g., turn on or off certain coding tools, and/or use certain parameter values for the coding tools.
