Video encoding optimization of extended spaces including last stage processes

Abstract:

A video coding system may include an encoder performs motion-compensated prediction on a video signal in a second format converted from an input format of the video signal. The video coding system may also include a decoder to decode portions of the encoded video, and a filtering system that filters portions of the decoded video, for example, by deblocking filtering or SAO filtering, using parameters derived from the video signal in the input format. A prediction system may include another format converter that converts the decoded video to the input format. The prediction system may select parameters of the motion-compensated prediction based at least in part on a comparison of the video signal in the input format to decoded video in the input format.
