Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion vector determination using template matching. In particular, an initial motion vector and a template are obtained for a prediction block. Then a 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. The template matching accesses integer sample positions within a predetermined window, the predetermined window including said search space and further integer sample positions accessible for the template matching, replaces at least one integer sample position located out of the window by at least one replacement value, each replacement value is based on at least one sample within said window, and uses the accessed integer sample position values as well as the at least one replacement value to perform the template matching.

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: An apparatus and method are provided for inter prediction of a current geometric partition of a coding block. When the coding block is enabled for a geometric partition merge mode, a merge candidate list for the coding block partitioned into two geometric partitions including the current geometric partition is generated. The merge candidate list generation comprises deriving one or more spatial merge candidates from neighboring coding units, and directly or immediately deriving one or more temporal motion vector predictions (MVPs). An uni-prediction MV is derived as a motion vector of the current geometric partition based on the merge candidate list. The current geometric partition of the coding block is predicted based on the uni-prediction MV to obtain a predicted value of the current geometric partition.

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: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for splitting an image into coding units. An image is divided into coding tree units (CTUs) which are hierarchically partitioned. Hierarchical partitioning includes multi-type partitioning such as binary tree or quad tree splitting. For CTUs completely within the image and CTUs on the boundary, respective multi-type partition depths are chosen. The present disclosure provides for multi-type partitioning flexibility in a boundary portion of the image.
