Abstract
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for increasing the efficiency of inter-layer prediction using an enhanced inter-layer reference (EILR) picture as a reference picture for inter-layer prediction for encoding an enhancement layer. A luminance component and chrominance components of an inter-layer reference (ILR) picture may be enhanced. High frequency information may be obtained by processing an inter-layer motion compensated (ILMC) picture with a high pass filter. Low frequency information may be obtained by processing an ILR picture with a low pass filter. The EILR picture may be generated as a function of the high frequency information, the low frequency information, and/or the ILR picture.
