New observations of coalitionary infanticide by female chimpanzees in Uganda shed light on the nature of female competition.

AUX Information Assisted HEVC

An AUX information assisted HEVC is described in this paper. This new functionality provides a tool for HEVC to determine the quantization parameter of CU based on auxiliary input. In this report, a saliency based auxiliary input is employed as a proof-of-concept. As shown in our subjective tests, the new tool achieves up to 12% bit rate reduction with negligible perceptual quality loss.
