Abstract: A decoding method and a decoder for decoding a current block of a video frame is provided, wherein the decoding method comprises determining a list of Most Probable Modes (MPMs) for the current block. When at least one condition is satisfied, the list of MPMs includes a DC mode, a Vertical mode, a Horizontal mode, an intra prediction mode corresponding to a value of the Vertical mode with a first offset, and an intra prediction mode corresponding to the value of the Vertical mode with a second offset. The decoding method further includes obtaining a MPM flag and a MPM index for the current block from a bitstream of the video, and obtaining an intra prediction mode for the current block for reconstructing the current block.

Abstract: An in-loop deblocking filter apparatus (120) for processing a current row or column of samples into a filtered row or column of samples. The current row or column of samples comprises a plurality of samples from a first sample block and a horizontally or vertically neighboring second sample block of a reconstructed picture of a video stream. The samples of the current row or column of samples have sample values pN−1−p0, q0−qN−1 wherein N is an even integer greater than 2. If a first condition or a second condition is satisfied, the current row or column is processed by: determining a filtered sample value q0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−2, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−1 of the current row or column; and/or determining a filtered sample value p0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−1, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−2 of the current row or column.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for determination of motion parameters (e.g. motion vectors) for motion prediction of a coding block, and is applicable to video encoding and/or decoding. The motion parameter is selected from motion parameters, which include motion parameters associated with a set of respective image samples not included in the coding tree unit, where the set of image samples are located at a predetermined position relative to an extended boundary of the coding tree unit. The apparatuses and methods of the present disclosure may facilitate reducing on-chip buffer requirements for motion prediction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a video encoder and a video decoder, which may both be used for partitioning a block in a current picture based on at least one partitioning predictor. The encoder and decoder are configured to select at least one reference picture and a plurality of blocks in the at least one reference picture. Further, to calculate, for each selected block, a projected location in the current picture based on a motion vector associated to the selected block in the reference picture. Then, they are configured to determine each selected block, of which the projected location spatially overlaps with the block in the current picture, to be a reference block, and generate for at least one reference block a partitioning predictor based on partitioning information associated to, for example stored in, the at least one reference picture.

Abstract: A partitioning method comprises determining whether a current block of a picture is a boundary block and whether the size of the current block is larger than a minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size; and if the current block is the boundary block and the size of the current block is not larger than the minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size (MinQTSize), applying forced binary tree (BT) partitioning to the current block. A method comprises making a determination that a current block of a picture is a boundary block and that a size of the current block is less than or equal to a minimum allowed quadtree (QT) leaf node size (MinQTSize); and applying, in response to the determination, forced binary tree (BT) partitioning to the current block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the performance of motion vector refinement in a search space for multi-reference inter-prediction. Two or more reference pictures are selected, one of those used for motion vector refinement. Based on an initial estimate of a motion vector to the reference picture for motion vector refinement, a search space in this reference image is constructed. Using template matching, the first motion vector is refined. The second motion vector to another reference picture is calculated using its initial estimate, the initial estimate of the first motion vector and the refined first motion vector.

Abstract: A coding apparatus configured to select an intra prediction mode for a current block, encode the selected intra prediction mode using truncated binary coding every time the selected intra prediction mode is a remaining mode, and encode the selected intra prediction mode using N bits when the selected intra prediction mode is included in a first portion from remaining modes and using N+1 bits when the selected intra prediction mode is included in a second portion of the remaining modes.

Abstract: A method of filtering a sample value of a picture includes, when an integer t is less than k and an integer j is in the range of 1 to m, generating, with an integer i in the range of 1 to k−t−1, a first filtered sample value by applying a first filter to the value of the sample p(i,j), where the first filter is supported by a first set of filter support samples, which does not comprise any samples p(i′,j′) with row index i′ greater than k−t−1, and generating, with i in the range of k−t to k, a second filtered sample value by applying a second filter to the value of the sample p(i,j), the second filter is supported by a second set of filter support samples, which does not comprise any samples p(i′,j′) with row index i′ less than k−t.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to video coding and picture partitioning methods. In particular, the disclosure is concerned with relations between partition constraint elements, by setting partitioning rules for different picture partitioning methods. The disclosure provides devices and corresponding methods for generating or processing a bitstream including encoded pictures, particularly for setting and including partition constraint element into the bitstream. One of the devices is configured to determine a minimum luma size of a leaf block resulting from quadtree splitting (MinQtSizeY), determine a maximum luma size of a coding block where partitioning using a binary tree splitting is allowed (MaxBtSizeY) based on the MinQtSizeY, and include information for the determined MinQtSizeY into the bitstream.
