Abstract: A decoder includes circuitry which, in operation, parses a first flag indicating whether a CCALF (cross component adaptive loop filtering) process is enabled for a first block located adjacent to a left side of a current block; parses a second flag indicating whether the CCALF process is enabled for a second block located adjacent to an upper side of the current block; determines a first index associated with a color component of the current block; and derives a second index indicating a context model, using the first flag, the second flag, and the first index. The circuitry, in operation, performs entropy decoding of a third flag indicating whether the CCALF process is enabled for the current block, using the context model indicated by the second index; and performs the CCALF process on the current block in response to the third flag indicating the CCALF process is enabled for the current block.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry, in inter prediction processing: derives a first motion vector of a current block to be processed, using a motion vector of a previous block which has been previously processed; derives a second motion vector of the current block by performing motion estimation in the vicinity of the first motion vector; and generates a prediction image of the current block by performing motion compensation using the second motion vector.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: derives a size of a subpicture included in a picture using a size of the picture, a position of the subpicture, and a size of a coding tree block (CTB) included in the picture, when the subpicture is located at a right border or a bottom border of the picture, the position of the subpicture being indicated using the size of the CTB; and extracts a sub-bitstream of the subpicture from a bitstream of the picture.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory connected to the circuitry. The circuitry: derives an absolute value of a sum of horizontal gradient values; derives, as a first parameter, the total sum of the absolute values of horizontal gradient values; derives, as a second parameter, the total sum of the absolute values of vertical gradient values; derives a horizontal-related pixel difference value; derives, as a third parameter, the total sum of the absolute values of horizontal-related pixel difference values; derives a vertical-related pixel difference value; derives, as a fourth parameter, the total sum of the absolute values of vertical-related pixel difference values; and generates a prediction image using the first to fourth parameters.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in operation, for each coefficient of a plurality of coefficients included in a block, determines a base level relating to Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) for the coefficient, and encodes an absolute value of the coefficient. In determining the base level, when one or more flags are used in encoding the absolute value of the coefficient, the base level is determined to be a first value, and when one or more flags are not used in the encoding, the base level is determined to be a second value that is smaller than the first value. In encoding the absolute value of the coefficient, when one or more flags are not used, a rice parameter is determined based on the base level which is equal to the second value, and the coefficient is binarized using the rice parameter.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry determines whether to split a current luma virtual pipeline decoding unit (VPDU) into smaller blocks. When it is determined not to split the current luma VPDU into smaller blocks, the circuitry predicts a block of chroma samples without using luma samples. When it is determined to split the luma VPDU into smaller blocks, the circuitry predicts the block of chroma samples using luma samples. The circuitry encodes the block using the predicted chroma samples.

Abstract: An encoder determines, based on a width and a height of a block, whether or not to disable a prediction mode in which the block is split along a partitioning line defined by a distance and an angle and then prediction is performed; and encodes the block with the prediction mode disabled or not disabled according to a result of the determination on whether or not to disable the prediction mode. Here, the distance is the shortest distance between the center of the block and the partitioning line, and the angle is an angle representing a direction from the center of the block toward the partitioning line in the shortest distance. The encoder determines to disable the prediction mode when (i) a width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or (ii) a height-to-width ratio is at least 8.

Abstract: An encoder that; obtains two prediction images by performing motion compensation using two motion vectors; obtains a gradient value of each of pixels included in the two prediction images; derives a local motion estimation value for each of sub-blocks based on the pixel value and the gradient value of each of the pixels, the sub-blocks being obtained by partitioning the current block; and generates a final prediction image for the current block using the pixel value and the gradient value of each of the pixels, and the local motion estimation value derived for each of the sub-blocks. Each of the pixels in the two prediction images is interpolated with sub-pixel accuracy, and a reference range for the interpolation is included in a normal reference range that is referred to for motion compensation for the current block in normal inter prediction performed without using the local motion estimation value.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry writes, into a bitstream, a first flag indicating whether or not to enable a first process of applying a filter to a first image to generate a second image, holding the second image as a reference image, and displaying the second image. When the first process is not enabled, circuitry writes, into the bitstream, one or more parameters for controlling a second process of applying the filter to the first image to generate the second image, holding the first image as a reference image, and displaying the second image.
