Abstract: A method and apparatus of entropy coding of coding symbols using Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coder (CABAC) are disclosed. According to the present invention, a math formula is used for calculating the LPS range for deriving rangeOne value and rangeZero value. For example, the LPS range is derived using one or more mathematical operations comprising calculating a multiplication of a first value and a second value, in which the first value is related to (2*the LPS probability index+1) or the LPS probability index, while the second value is related to (2*the range index+1) or the range index. Besides, the LPS range can be derived by using a look-up-table including table contents corresponding to values of LPS range associated with a set of LPS probability indexes and a set of range indexes for encoding or decoding a binary value of the current bin.

Abstract: Method and apparatus of using Pattern-based MV derivation (PMVD), Bi-directional optical flow (BIO) or Decoder-side MV refinement (DMVR) to refine motion for a bi-direction predicted block are disclosed. According to one method of the present invention, a first and a second motion-compensated reference blocks associated with the current block in a first and a second reference pictures from reference picture list 0 and list 1 are determined respectively. The PMVD process, BIO process or DMVR process is applied to generate motion refinement for the current block using reference data corresponding to the first motion-compensated reference block and the second motion-compensated reference block without other reference data outside the first motion-compensated reference block and the second motion-compensated reference block so as to reduce required system memory bandwidth. Also an adaptive block size method for block-based BIO is disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide adaptive interpolation filter for motion compensation with fractional-pixel accuracy. Embodiments of the present invention generate interpolated reference samples at non-integer locations based on existing reference samples in a reference block by using an interpolation filter set adaptively according to pixel location and/or pixel characteristics. A current block is then encoded or decoded using a temporal predictor including the interpolated reference samples. The adaptive interpolation filter can be applied to the prediction unit (PU). In one embodiment, the interpolation filter set consists of interpolation filters having different filter lengths. An interpolation filter with a longer tap length is applied to generate interpolated reference samples farther from the block boundary and an interpolation filter with a shorter tap length is applied to generate interpolated reference samples closer to the block boundary.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of video coding using Non-Local (NL) denoising filter are disclosed. According to the present invention, the decoded picture or the processed-decoded picture is divided into multiple blocks. The NL loop-filter is applied to a target block with NL on/off control to generate a filtered output. The NL loop-filter process comprises determining, for the target block, a patch group consisting of K nearest reference blocks within a search window located in one or more reference regions and deriving one filtered output which could be one block for the target block or one filtered patch group based on pixel values of the target block and pixel values of the patch group. The filtered output is provided for further loop-filter processing if there is any further loop-filter processing or the filtered output is provided for storing in a reference picture buffer if there is no further loop-filter processing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of motion compensation using the bi-directional optical flow (BIO) techniques are disclosed. According to one method of the present invention, the BIO process is applied to encode or decode bi-directional current block in Merge mode only or in AMVP (advanced motion vector prediction) mode only. According to another method, the BIO process conditionally to encode or decode the current block depending on a jointly-coded flag if the current block is coded using a bi-prediction mode. According to yet another method, x-offset value vx and y-offset value vy for the current block are added to the current motion vector to form a final motion vector. The final motion vector is then used as a reference motion vector for following blocks. In still yet another method, the BIO process is applied to the chroma component.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for forming patch groups. The method can include determining a list of K motion vectors (MVs) for each current patch to form a patch group that includes the respective current patch and K reference patches corresponding to the K MVs, wherein the current patches are included in a reconstructed picture. The list of K MVs of a first current patch that is one of the current patches is determined by performing a neighbor-based fast search (NBFS) process. The NBFS process can include selecting K MVs from lists of K MVs of at least one neighboring current patch of the first patch to form a first list of K MVs of the first current patch, and performing a first refinement process to obtain a second list of K MVs of the first current patch based on the first list of K MVs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of video coding incorporating Deep Neural Network are disclosed. A target signal is processed using DNN (Deep Neural Network), where the target signal provided to DNN input corresponds to the reconstructed residual, output from the prediction process, the reconstruction process, one or more filtering processes, or a combination of them. The output data from DNN output is provided for the encoding process or the decoding process. The DNN can be used to restore pixel values of the target signal or to predict a sign of one or more residual pixels between the target signal and an original signal. An absolute value of one or more residual pixels can be signalled in the video bitstream and used with the sign to reduce residual error of the target signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of video coding using Inter prediction with offset derived from neighbouring reconstructed pixels are disclosed. According to the present invention, the NRP (neighbouring reconstructed pixels) in one or more first neighbouring areas of a current block and the EMCP (extended motion-compensated predictors) in one or more second neighbouring areas of a motion-compensated reference block corresponding to the current block are determined. One or more prediction offsets between first pixel values of the NRP and second pixel values of the EMCP are determined. The current block is encoded or decoded using information including the prediction offset(s). The prediction offset may correspond to a single offset used for a whole block. Individual offsets may also be used the pixels of the current block.

Abstract: Method and apparatus of video coding using decoder derived motion information based on bilateral matching or template matching are disclosed. According to one method, an initial motion vector (MV) index is signalled in a video bitstream at an encoder side or determined from the video bitstream at a decoder side. A selected MV is then derived using bilateral matching, template matching or both to refine an initial MV associated with the initial MV index. In another method, when both MVs for list 0 and list 1 exist in template matching, the smallest-cost MV between the two MVs may be used for uni-prediction template matching if the cost is lower than the bi-prediction template matching. According to yet another method, the refinement of the MV search is dependent on the block size. According to yet another method, merge candidate MV pair is always used for bilateral matching or template matching.
