Adaptive resolution management prediction rescaling
A decoder is configured to receive a bitstream that has a reference picture, a current picture having a resolution different from the reference picture and including a first block and a second block that is an intra-coded block, and information useful for determining a scaling constant. The decoder is further configured to determine a scaling constant using the information in the bitstream, determine a scaled prediction block from the reference picture by determining a location of the scaled prediction block by scaling a motion vector component using the scaling constant, scaling the resolution of a block of the reference picture using the scaling constant and applying a filter determined specifically for the prediction block and not determined for the whole reference picture, reconstruct the first block using the scaled prediction block, and reconstruct the intra-coded second block without using a scaled prediction block.
1. A decoder comprising circuitry configured to:
receive a bitstream comprising a reference picture, a current picture having a resolution different from the reference picture and including a first block and a second block, the second block being an intra-coded block, and information useful for determining a scaling constant;
determine whether a block-based mode for decoding a current picture of one resolution using a reference picture of a different resolution is enabled;
determine a scaling constant using the information in the bitstream;
using the enabled mode, determine a scaled prediction block from the reference picture by:
determining a location of the scaled prediction block by scaling a motion vector component using the scaling constant; and
scaling the resolution of a block of the reference picture using the scaling constant and applying a filter determined specifically for the prediction block and not determined for the whole reference picture;
reconstruct the first block using the scaled prediction block; and
reconstruct the intra-coded second block without using the mode.
2. A decoder comprising circuitry configured to:
receive a bit stream including a current coded picture comprising a first plurality of coded blocks and a second plurality of coded blocks, the second plurality of coded blocks being intra-coded blocks;
determine whether a block-based mode for decoding a current picture of one resolution using a reference picture of a different resolution is enabled;
decode each block of the first plurality of coded blocks using the enabled mode by:
determining a scaling constant using information in the bitstream;
determining a scaled prediction block from a reference picture having a different resolution than the current coded picture, by scaling a motion vector component to determine the location of the scaled prediction block, scaling the resolution of a block from the reference picture using the scaling constant, and applying a filter determined individually for the prediction block;
decoding each block of the first plurality of coded blocks using its scaled prediction block; and
decode each intra-coded block of the second plurality of coded blocks without using the mode.
