UPSAMPLING AND DOWNSAMPLING OF MOTION MAPS AND OTHER AUXILIARY MAPS IN A TIERED SIGNAL QUALITY HIERARCHY
First Claim
1. A method of generating an auxiliary map at a second level of quality in a hierarchy based on an auxiliary map at a first level of quality and a signal encoded at multiple different levels of quality in a hierarchy, the method comprising:
- selecting an element from a rendition of the auxiliary map at the first level of quality;
subdividing the selected element at the first level of quality into multiple sub-elements, the multiple sub-elements being at the second level of quality in the hierarchy for the auxiliary map, the second level of quality higher than the first level of quality; and
based at least in part on auxiliary information assigned to at least one element in the auxiliary map at the first level of quality, generating respective auxiliary information for each of the sub-elements at the second level of quality of the auxiliary map.

Abstract
Certain configurations herein include changing the resolution of an auxiliary map (e.g., a motion map, a z-map, etc.) at a first level of quality to obtain an auxiliary map at a second level of quality. For example, changing the resolution can include receiving a respective auxiliary map of one or more vectors at one or more lower levels of quality and progressively refining, via novel operations, the auxiliary map to higher or lower levels of quality in a hierarchy.
