Abstract: The present disclosure provides an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, as well as an encoding method and a decoding method. In particular, the present disclosure relates to block partitioning and signaling the partitioning parameters in a bitstream. An override flag in an image region header indicates whether or not a block is to be partitioned according to a first partition constraint information. The override flag is included in the bitstream and the block is partitioned accordingly.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus partitions a video coding block based on coding information into two or more segments including a first segment and a second segment. The coding information comprises a first segment motion vector associated with the first segment and a second segment motion vector associated with the second segment. A co-located first segment in a first reference frame is determined based on the first segment motion vector and a co-located second segment in a second reference frame is determined based on the second segment motion vector. A predicted video coding block is generated based on the co-located first segment and the co-located second segment. A divergence measure is determined based on the first segment motion vector and the second segment motion vector and a first or second filter is applied depending on the divergence measure to the predicted video coding block.

Abstract: An image processing device for use in an image encoder and/or an image decoder, for deblocking a block edge between a first block and a second block of an image encoded with a block code, is provided. The image processing device comprises a filter for filtering the block edge, configured to, for at least some of the pixels to be filtered, within a deblocking range from the block edge, the deblocking range being perpendicular to the block edge, determine a filtered pixel value from an original pixel value of the pixel and at least one further pixel value, determine a clipping value of the pixel, dependent upon a distance of the pixel from the block edge, and clip the filtered pixel value, using the clipping value resulting in a deblocked pixel value.

Abstract: A deblocking filter of an image processing device is provided. The deblocking filter is used in an image coding process, for deblocking a block edge between a first coding block and a second coding block of an image. The first block has SA samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge, and the second block has SB samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge. No more than IA samples of the first coding block are used as first filter input values, and no more than IB samples of the second coding block are used as second filter input values. No more than MA samples of the first coding block are modified as first filter output values, and no more than MB samples of the second coding block are modified as second filter output values.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, as well as an encoding method and a decoding method. In particular, the present disclosure relates to block partitioning and signaling the partitioning parameters in a bitstream. An override flag in a slice header indicates whether or not a block is to be partitioned according to a first partition constraint information. The override flag is included in the bitstream and the block is partitioned accordingly.

Abstract: A method for coding implemented by a decoding device or an encoding device includes: obtaining a first prediction mode for a first sub-block, obtaining a second prediction mode for a second sub-block; obtaining a first prediction value for a sample in the current block according to the first prediction mode, obtaining a second prediction value for the sample in the current block according to the second prediction mode; obtaining a value of an indicator, the value of the indicator indicating a blending operation which is performed for the sample in the current block; and obtaining a combined prediction value for the sample in the current block, according to the value of the indictor, the first prediction value, and the second prediction value. The blending operation adaptively performs around a separation line dividing the current block into at least the first sub-block and the second sub-block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion vector refinement. As a first step, an initial motion vector and a template for the block are obtained. Then, the refinement of the initial motion vector is determined by template matching with said template in a search space. The search space is located on a position given by the initial motion vector and includes one or more fractional sample positions, wherein each of the fractional sample positions belonging to the search space is obtained by interpolation filtering with a filter of a predefined tap-size assessing integer samples only within a window, said window being formed by integer samples accessible for the template matching in said search space.
