- In another aspect, a system programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprises a receiving device configured for receiving encoded video content, wherein the encoded video content was encoded without using strong intra smoothing depending on the chroma format of the video content and a display device configured for displaying the encoded video content. Encoding the encoded video content included determining the chroma format is 444; and not enabling strong intra smoothing. Encoding the encoded video content included determining the chroma format is 422 or 444 and not enabling strong intra smoothing. A strong intra smoothing flag is equal to 1 and a image component index is equal to 0. The device is selected from the group consisting of a personal computer, a laptop computer, a computer workstation, a server, a mainframe computer, a handheld computer, a personal digital assistant, a cellular/mobile telephone, a smart appliance, a gaming console, a digital camera, a digital camcorder, a camera phone, a smart phone, a portable music player, a tablet computer, a mobile device, a video player, a video disc writer/player, a television, a home entertainment system and smart jewelry.
- In another aspect, an apparatus comprises a display device, a non-transitory memory for storing an application, the application for receiving video content, wherein the video content was encoded without using strong intra smoothing depending on the chroma format of the video content and displaying the video content on the display device and a processing component coupled to the memory, the processing component configured for processing the application.

FIG. 1 illustrates a flowchart of an SIS decision method according to some embodiments. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary computing device configured to implement the SIS decision method according to some embodiments. - In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) version 1, strong intra smoothing (SIS) is applied to luma (420 format) to reduce (e.g. smooth) some visual artifacts in intra prediction. In Range Extension (RExt) of HEVC, more chroma formats (monochrome, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4) and higher bitdepths (12, 14, 16) are supported. Implementations to extend the SIS in RExt to address SIS for 444 chroma format. Restrictions on applying SIS are also described.
- SIS introduces blocking artifacts and coding efficiency loss although SIS improves contouring artifacts. If the disabling SIS conditions are not satisfied, then the appropriate flag is set to a value other than 0 such as 1.
-
- When filterFlag is equal to 1, the following applies:
- The variable bilntFlag is derived as follows:
If all of the following conditions are true, bilntFlag is set equal to 1: - strong_intra_smoothing_enabled_flag is equal to 1
- nTbS is equal to 32
- cldx is equal to 0 //cldx is the image component index
- Abs(p[−1][−1]+p[nTbS*2−1][−1]−2*p[nTbS−1][−1]<(1<<(BitDepth
Y −5)) - Abs(p[−1][−1]+p[−1][nTbS*2−1]−2*p[−1][nTbS−1])<(1<<(BitDepth
Y −5))
Otherwise, bilntFlag is set equal to 0. - Shown herein is a comparison between SIS “on” and “off” for chroma, based on both AHGS and AHG8 test sequences. The reference software used is HM13.0+RExt6.0.
- More specifically, SIS “on” means that SIS is allowed for chroma when the chroma format is 4:4:4 and SIS is applied because intra_smoothing_disabled_flag is set to 0 (false) in default settings. Anchor: SIS “off” is exactly the HM13.0+RExt6.0.
- In the simulation, AHGS test sequences and conditions apply. Because the simulation is run in a cluster, encoding and decoding times are not accurate. The results are summarized in Table 1. Results show that allowing SIS for chroma when chroma format is 4:4:4 will degrade the coding performance of current reference software under common test conditions.
