摘要： A method and apparatus for processing in-loop reconstructed video using an in-loop filter is disclosed. In the recent HEVC development, adaptive loop filtering (ALF) is being adopted to process in-loop reconstruction video data, where ALF can be selectively turned ON or OFF for each block in a frame or a slice. An advanced ALF is disclosed later that allows a choice of multiple filter sets that can be applied to the reconstructed video data adaptively. In the present disclosure, pixels of the in-loop reconstructed video data are divided into a plurality of to-be-filtered regions, and an in-loop filter from a filter set is determined for each to-be-filtered region based on a rate-distortion optimization procedure. According to one embodiment of the present invention, computation of cost function associated with the rate-distortion optimization procedure is related to correlation values associated with original video data and the in-loop reconstructed video data. Furthermore, the correlation values can be shared by the multiple candidate filters during the rate-distortion optimization procedure for said each to-be-filtered region. In another embodiment, the correlation values can be shared by multiple candidate to-be-filtered regions of an area of the in-loop reconstructed video data during the rate-distortion optimization procedure for the area of the in-loop reconstructed video data.

摘要： In a block-based motion compensated system, coding noises may arise due to lossy operations such as quantization. Deblocking is often used to alleviate visibility of coding artifacts by applying filtering across block boundaries adaptively. In the recent HEVC development, adaptive loop filtering (ALF) is being adopted to process deblocked reconstruction frames. Adaptive loop filtering is applied to reconstructed video data across multiple frames to reduce visibility of coding artifacts in the temporal domain. In a HEVC system, conventional ALF can be selectively turned ON or OFF for each block in a frame or a slice. The advanced ALF disclosed here allows a choice of multiple filter sets that can be applied to the reconstructed video data adaptively. Furthermore, the advanced ALF adopts a new unit for the filtering process to apply so that more flexible and/or localized processing can be provided. Furthermore, the advanced ALF allows a decoder to derive respective information for applying the filtering process without side information.
摘要翻译：在基于块的运动补偿系统中，由于诸如量化的有损操作，可能产生编码噪声。解块通常用于通过自适应地跨越块边界应用过滤来减轻编码伪像的可视性。在最近的HEVC开发中，正在采用自适应环路滤波（ALF）来处理解块重建帧。自适应环路滤波被应用于跨多帧的重建视频数据，以减少时域中编码伪像的可见性。在HEVC系统中，对于帧或片中的每个块，可以选择性地将常规ALF打开或关闭。这里公开的高级ALF允许选择可以自适应地应用于重建的视频数据的多个滤波器组。此外，先进的ALF采用新的过滤单元进行应用，从而可以提供更灵活和/或本地化的处理。此外，高级ALF允许解码器导出用于应用无侧信息的过滤处理的相应信息。

摘要： An apparatus and method for sample adaptive offset to restore intensity shift of processed video data are described. In a video coding system, the video data are subject to various processing such as prediction, transformation, quantization, deblocking, and adaptive loop filtering. Along the processing path in the video coding system, certain characteristics of the processed video data may be altered from the original video data due to the operations applied to video data. For example, the mean value of the processed video may be shifted. Therefore, the pixel intensity shift has to be carefully compensated or restored to alleviate the artifacts. Accordingly a sample adaptive offset scheme is disclosed that can take into consideration of the dynamic characteristics within a frame using a region partition scheme. Furthermore, the sample adaptive offset scheme also supports multiple SAO types that can be tailored to the characteristics of processed video data and achieve better quality.

摘要： A method and apparatus for video processing of reconstructed video in a reconstruction loop are disclosed. An embodiment according to the present invention performs padding for the blocks in the slice boundaries according to a processing order. Each of the one or more reconstructed blocks at slice boundaries is padded according to a padding order.

摘要： For sample adaptive offset, classification may be used to classify the pixels into multiple categories and pixels in each category are offset compensated using an offset value for the category. The classification may be based on values of the current pixel and its neighboring pixels before SAO compensation. Therefore, the SAO compensated pixel cannot be written back to the current pixel location until the category for all pixels are determined. An embodiment of the present invention stores the relation between the current pixel and said one or more neighboring pixels so that the SAO compensated current pixel can replace the current pixel without buffering the to-be-processed pixels for classification. The SAO process may be performed on a region by region basis to adapt to the local characteristics of the picture. Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) is often used to guide the mode decision, such as region splitting/region merging decision. Computations associated with the RDO process usually are very computational intensive. Accordingly, distortion reduction estimation is developed which can substantially reduce the required computation associated with RDO.
摘要翻译：对于样本自适应偏移，可以使用分类来将像素分类为多个类别，并且使用该类别的偏移值来对每个类别中的像素进行偏移补偿。分类可以基于SAO补偿之前的当前像素及其相邻像素的值。因此，在确定所有像素的类别之前，SAO补偿像素不能被写回到当前像素位置。本发明的实施例存储当前像素和所述一个或多个相邻像素之间的关系，使得SAO补偿的当前像素可以代替当前像素，而不缓冲待处理像素用于分类。可以在逐个区域的基础上执行SAO处理，以适应图像的局部特征。速率失真优化（RDO）经常用于指导模式决策，如区域分割/区域合并决策。与RDO过程相关的计算通常是非常计算密集型的。因此，开发了可以显着减少与RDO相关联的所需计算的失真减小估计。
