Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for coding video blocks using a color-space conversion process. A video coder, such as a video encoder or a video decoder, may determine whether to use color-space conversion for a coding unit and set a value of a syntax element of the coding unit to indicate the use of color-space conversion. The video coder may apply a color-space transform process in encoding the coding unit. The video coder may decode the syntax element of the coding unit. The video coder may determine whether a value of the syntax element indicates that the coding unit was encoded using color-space conversion. The video coder may apply a color-space inverse transform process in decoding the coding unit in response to determining that the syntax element indicates that the coding unit was coded using color-space conversion.

Abstract: Coding a motion vector difference (MVD) during an inter-prediction process. Example techniques may include determining a particular coding and/or signaling method for an MVD from among two or more MVD coding and/or signaling techniques. A video coder (e.g., a video encoder and/or a video decoder) may determine a particular MVD coding and/or signaling technique based on characteristics of video data or coding methods, including MV precision, Picture Order Count (POC) difference, or any other already coded/decoded information of a block of video data.

Abstract: An example video coding device is configured to compare an inter-view predicted motion vector candidate (IPMVC) to a motion vector inheritance (MVI) candidate, where the IPMVC and the MVI candidate are each associated with a block of video data in a dependent depth view, and where the IPMVC is generated from a corresponding block of video data in a base depth view. The video coding device may be further configured to perform one of adding the IPMVC to a merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being different from the MVI candidate, or omitting the IPMVC from the merge candidate list based on the IPMVC being identical to the MVI candidate.

Abstract: In some examples, a method of decoding depth data in a video coding process includes defining a depth prediction unit (PU) of a size greater than 32×32 within a depth coding unit (CU) and generating one or more partitions of the depth PU. The method also includes obtaining residual data for each of the partitions; obtaining prediction data for each of the partitions; and reconstructing each of the partitions based on the residual data and the prediction data for the respective partitions.

Abstract: An example device for filtering a decoded block of video data includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to decode a current block of a current picture of the video data, select a filter (such as an adaptive loop filter) to be used to filter pixels of the current block, calculate a gradient of at least one pixel for the current block, select a geometric transform to be performed on one of a filter support region or coefficients of the selected filter, wherein the one or more processors are configured to select the geometric transform that corresponds to an orientation of the gradient of the at least one pixel, perform the geometric transform on either the filter support region or the coefficients of the selected filter, and filter the at least one pixel of the current block using the selected filter after performing the geometric transform.

Abstract: For each respective coding unit (CU) of a slice of a picture of the video data, a video coder may set, in response to determining that the respective CU is the first CU of a coding tree block (CTB) row of the picture or the respective CU is the first CU of the slice, a derived disparity vector (DDV) to an initial value. Furthermore, the video coder may perform a neighbor-based disparity vector derivation (NBDV) process that attempts to determine a disparity vector for the respective CU. When performing the NBDV process does not identify an available disparity vector for the respective CU, the video coder may determine that the disparity vector for the respective CU is equal to the DDV.

Abstract: A video coder reconstructs a set of chroma reference samples and reconstructs luma samples of a non-square prediction unit. Additionally, the video coder sub-samples the set of luma reference samples such that a total number of the luma reference samples that neighbor a longer side of the non-square prediction block is the same as a total number of the luma reference samples that neighbor a shorter side of the non-square prediction block. The video coder determines a Linear Model (LM) parameter based on: β=(Σyi−α·Σxi)/I, where I is a total number of reference samples in the set of the luma reference samples, xi is a luma reference sample in the set of luma reference samples, yi is a chroma reference sample in the set of chroma reference samples. The video coder uses the LM parameter in a process to determine values of chroma samples of the non-square prediction block.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining a block in a reference picture in a reference view based on a disparity vector for a current block. The techniques start the disparity vector from a bottom-right pixel in a center 2×2 sub-block within the current block, and determine a location within the reference picture to which the disparity vector refers. The determined block covers the location referred to by the disparity vector based on the disparity vector starting from the bottom-right pixel in the center 2×2 sub-block within the current block.
