In asymmetric resolution stereoscopic video coding (ARSVC), a stereoscopic video consists of one full-sized leftview video sequence and the synchronized quarter-sized rightview video sequence for achieving a bitrate reduction effect by the encoder. Prior to displaying 3D scenes on the screen, it is necessary to upsample the decoded downsampled right-view video sequence at the client side. In this paper, we propose an effective adaptive upsampling method for ARSVC.

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive chroma subsampling-binding and luma-guided (ASBLG) chroma reconstruction method for screen content images (SCIs). After receiving the decoded luma and subsampled chroma image from the decoder, a fast winner-first voting strategy is proposed to identify the used chroma subsampling scheme prior to compression. Then, the decoded luma image is subsampled as the identified subsampling scheme was performed on the chroma image such that we are able to conclude an accurate correlation between the subsampled decoded luma image and the decoded subsampled chroma image.

In this paper, we propose a novel and effective hybrid method, which joins the conventional chroma subsampling and the distortion-minimization-based luma modification together, to improve the quality of the reconstructed RGB full-color image. Assume the input RGB full-color image has been transformed to a YUV image, prior to compression. For each 2×2 UV block, one 4:2:0 subsampling is applied to determine the one subsampled U and V components, U and V .
