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.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a bitstream representing input frames of a video sequence, is provided. The apparatus includes a processing circuitry configured to generate the bitstream including a synthesized frame at a first position of a first input frame based on two or more input frames. A quality measure for the synthesized frame is determined.

Abstract: The general intra prediction process is unnecessarily complicated with inclusion of the reference sample filtering. This application provides solutions for this problem. A method for intra prediction is provided. The method includes: during an intra predicted sample generation stage, obtaining a filtering indication, which indicates whether a filtered value or an unfiltered value of reference samples of the current coding block will be used. When the value of the filtering indication is true, a prediction sample is generated by using the filtered value of the reference samples based on the planar mode. When the value of the filtering indication is false, a prediction sample is generated by using the unfiltered value of the reference samples based on the planar mode. As a result, the reference sample filtering stage can be fully removed or can be combined with other stage.

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 method of coding implemented by a decoding device or an encoding device, comprising obtaining indication information for a luma position (cbWidth/2, cbHeight/2) of a current coding block, relative to a top-left luma sample position (xCb, yCb) of the current coding block; setting a value of a luma intra prediction mode associated with the current coding block to a first default value, when the indication information indicates that an Intra Block Copy (IBC) mode or palette mode is applied for the luma component at the luma position (cbWidth/2, cbHeight/2), relative to the top-left luma sample position (xCb, yCb) of the current coding block; and obtaining a value of a chroma intra prediction mode based on the value of the luma intra prediction mode of the current coding block.

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.
