Overview • Problems of Current UEP Process • Current UEP only supports a pixel data with 8/8/8 bit depth • Needs to support video data with various bit depths such as 16/16/16 • Current UEP is not optimized to various video formats • UEP can be applied to YCbCr as well as RGB color format • In case of YCbCr, current UEP scheme may not be optimized because Y is more important than CbCr. • UEP for compressed video can also be considered • New Proposal of UEP process • Considers color depths and color format of the video data • supports the bit position for separation of MSBs and LSBs ETRI
Current UEP Process • Separates MSBs and LSBs according to fixed bit position of a pixel data with 8/8/8 bit depth • Different FEC coding rates (or MCSs) can be applied to MSBs and LSBs, respectively • UEP mapping can be applied inorder to weight MSBs and LSBs differently ETRI
Problems of Current UEP • Current UEP process supports only fixed color depth of 8 bits (comment 48 & comment 49 in DF1) • Not support various color depths • Not indicate bit position to separate MSBs from LSBs Using Current UEP
Problems of Current UEP • Current UEP is not optimized to various video format • In case of YCbCr, video quality may not be optimized because even LSBs of Y might be more important than MSBs of Cb/Cr (comment 50 in DF1) ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 • Method 1: During UEP negotiation, required information, such as color depth, bit position and color format, is delivered in advance • Method 2: Like subframe information and UEP mapping indication field in MAC subheader, the color depth and bit position fields are included in the subheader • ETRI prefers method 1 to method 2 because method 2 requires much overhead in every single frame ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 • Method 1: UEP negotiation • Current UEP Information Request/Response Command • Suggested UEP Information Request Command ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 • Method 1: UEP negotiation (cont’d) • Example of Color (pixel) depth field ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 • Method 1: UEP negotiation (cont’d) • Example of bit separation pointfield ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 • Method 1: UEP negotiation (cont’d) • Example of color format field ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 48 & 49 Method 1: UEP negotiation (cont’d) - summary March, 2008 Slide 11 ETRI
Proposed Resolution to Comment 50 • Color format-based separation of MSBs/LSBs • Unlike RGB color format, the luminance is more important than chrominance in YCbCr color format • For example, Y can be MSBs, and Cb/Cr can be considered as LSBs if bit separation point field is used. Y Cb Y Cb Cr Cr Video component 8 8 8 8 8 8 Color depth in bits 4:4 4:4 4:4 8 8 8 MSB bits:LSB bits MSBs LSBs ETRI
Conclusion • It is recommended to include fields for bit separation point, color depth and color format in UEP command frame to support various bit depths and color formats • If we use the bit separation point field, it’s possible to make luminance more weighted than chrominance ETRI
