Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video coding. A processing circuitry determines a process unit size for a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR). Then, the processing circuitry enables an application of the DMVR on a current block when a size of the current block is smaller than or equal to the process unit size; and disables the application of the DMVR on the current block when the size of the current block is larger than the process unit size. In an example, the application of the DMVR refines the motion vectors with or without a template block.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of Inter prediction for video coding performed by a video encoder or a video decoder that utilizes motion vector prediction (MVP) to code a motion vector (MV) associated with a block coded with coding modes including affine Inter mode are disclosed. According to one method, MVP pairs for the current block are derived based on neighbouring blocks related to two control points for representing a 4-parameter affine motion model associated with the current block. A final MVP pair is selected based on two MVs for each MVP pair. In another method, MVP sets for three control points are derived to represent a 6-parameter affine motion model associated with the current block. A final MVP set is selected and included in the Inter candidate list. According to another method, one or more decoder-side derived MVs are included in a MVP set for inclusion in the Inter candidate list.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for non-local adaptive loop filtering. The method can include receiving reconstructed picture, dividing the picture into current patches, forming patch groups each including a current patch and a number of reference patches, determining a noise level for each of the patch groups, and denoising the patch groups with a non-local denoising technology. The determining a noise level for each of the patch groups can include calculating a pixel variance for a respective patch group, determining a pixel standard deviation (SD) of the respective patch group according to the calculated pixel variance by searching in a lookup table that indicates mapping relationship between patch group pixel SDs and patch group pixel variances, and calculating a noise level for the respective patch group based on a compression noise model that is a function of the pixel SD.

Abstract: Methods of palette coding to reduce the required coding process are disclosed. According to one method, smaller blocks are derived from a large block. The histogram of the large block is derived based on the histograms of smaller blocks in the large block. According to another method, one or more palette tables are derived based on multiple blocks. One palette table is used for each of the multiple blocks. According to yet another method, index map transpose is performed in the parsing stage according to the transpose flag of the index map. Accordingly, a buffer to store the transpose flags can be saved. According to still yet another method, the palette predictor update is performed using an index mapping table to avoid the need for shuffling the contents of the palette predictor stored in a palette buffer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of sharing an on-chip buffer or cache memory for a video coding system using coding modes including Inter prediction mode or Intra Block Copy (IntraBC) mode are disclosed. At least partial pre-deblocking reconstructed video data of a current picture is stored in an on-chip buffer or cache memory. If the current block is coded using IntraBC mode, the pre-deblocking reconstructed video data of the current picture stored in the on-chip buffer or cache memory are used to derive IntraBC prediction for the current block. In some embodiments, if the current block is coded using Inter prediction mode, Inter reference video data from the previous picture stored in the on-chip buffer or cache memory are used to derive Inter prediction for the current block. In another embodiment, the motion compensation/motion estimation unit is shared by the two modes.

Abstract: Video processing methods and apparatuses receive input data associated with a current block, determine an actual intra prediction mode for the current block by performing decoder side intra mode derivation, perform intra prediction based on the actual intra prediction mode, replace the actual intra prediction mode with a pseudo mode when processing the current block by an intra mode dependent tool in syntax signaling or parsing, and encode or decode the current block. The pseudo mode referenced by the intra mode dependent tool is a predefined mode or a derived mode, which is referenced as the intra prediction mode for blocks coded using decoder side intra mode derivation, or is referenced by the intra mode dependent tool as the intra prediction mode for all intra prediction coded blocks.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for video coding using template-based Intra prediction are disclosed. According to one method, where determining whether to apply the template-based Intra prediction or one or more parameters associated with the template-based Intra prediction depends on the current block size. According to yet another method, the quad-tree plus binary tree (QTBT) structure is used to partition an image or one or more areas of the current image into blocks. If the template-based Intra prediction is used for a current block and the current block is non-square, the width and height of the L-shaped reference pixel line are determined according to width and height of the current block. The L-shaped reference pixel line comprises a top reference pixel segment above the top template and a left reference pixel segment adjacent to a left side of the left template

Abstract: In one implementation, a method operates by receiving neighboring reconstructed first-color pixels and current reconstructed first-color pixels of a current first-color block and receiving neighboring reconstructed second-color pixels of a current second-color block collocated with the current first-color block. The method then determines linear model (LM) parameters according to a linear model for one or more LM Intra modes. The method then receives input data associated with current second-color pixels of the current second-color block and generates a cross-color Intra predictor from the current reconstructed first-color pixels of the current first-color block using the LM parameters associated with a LM Intra mode selected from said one or more LM Intra modes. Finally, the method applies cross-color Intra prediction encoding or decoding to the current second-color pixels of the current second-color block using the cross-color Intra predictor for the selected LM Intra mode.
