Abstract: A decoding system decodes a video stream, which is encoded video information. The decoding system includes a decoder that acquires the video steam and generates decoded video information, and a maximum luminance information acquirer that acquires, in a case where a dynamic range of luminance of the video stream is a second dynamic range that is wider than a first dynamic range, maximum luminance information indicating the maximum luminance of the video stream from the video stream. The decoding system also includes an outputter that outputs the decoded video information and the maximum luminance information. Where the dynamic range of luminance of the video stream is expressed by the maximum luminance of all pictures in the video stream as the maximum luminance information, the outputter outputs the decoded video information, along with the maximum luminance information indicating the maximum luminance of all pictures in the video stream.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry selects, as a method of determining a first MV precision, a first method or a second method using information of neighboring blocks that are blocks processed and neighboring a current block, and determines, as a motion vector for encoding the current block, a motion vector having the first MV precision determined. In the first method, one MV precision is fixedly determined as the first MV precision. In the second method, one MV precision is selected from among selectable MV precisions, the one MV precision selected is determined as the first MV precision, and selection information indicating the one MV precision selected is encoded into a bitstream.

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: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a decoder includes memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to split a current picture into tiles, generate a slice having a rectangular shape and located at a lower-right corner of the current picture, the slice including at least a part of a tile among the tiles, generate first information on a region of the slice with header information, the header information not including information identical to the first information, and decode the slice with the first information.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory. The circuitry, using the memory: derives a one-dimensional array of a plurality of reference samples for intra prediction; performs smoothing on the one-dimensional array of the plurality of reference samples which has been derived; and generates a prediction image using the plurality of reference samples. In deriving the one-dimensional array, the circuitry projects a value of at least one decoded pixel located on a first line onto a second line perpendicular to the first line, to derive at least one of the plurality of reference samples, and the smoothing is performed on the at least one decoded pixel projected onto the second line.

Abstract: Provided is an encoder which includes circuitry and memory. The circuitry encodes an image block using the memory. In encoding the image block, the circuitry: obtains one or more size parameters related to a size of the image block; determines whether the one or more size parameters and one or more thresholds satisfy a determined relationship; encodes a split parameter when the one or more size parameters and the one or more thresholds are determined to satisfy the determined relationship, the split parameter indicating whether the image block is to be split into a plurality of partitions including a non-rectangular partition; and encodes the image block after splitting the image block into the plurality of partitions when the split parameter indicates that the image block is to be split into the plurality of partitions.

Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory connected to the circuitry, and the circuitry, in operation: 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 circuitry 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.
