    Abstract: Different implementations are described, particularly implementations for video encoding and decoding based on asymmetric binary partitioning of image blocks are presented. The encoding method comprises for a picture, wherein at least one component of the picture is divided into blocks of samples, partitioning a block into block partitions, wherein at least one block partition has a size equal to a positive integer different from a power of 2 in width and/or height, generating a residual by predicting the block partitions and subtracting the prediction from the block partitions, splitting the generated residual into at least two residual blocks with a size equal to a power of 2 in width and height and transforming the at least two residual blocks into transform coefficients, quantizing the transform coefficients, and entropy coding of the quantized transform coefficients. Correspondingly, the decoding method comprises receiving in a bitstream quantized transform coefficients, entropy decoding, de-quantizing and inverse transforming the transform coefficients to obtain residual blocks with a size equal to a power of 2 in width and height, merging at least two residual blocks to reconstruct a residual for a block partition having a size equal to a positive integer different from a power of 2 in width and/or height and reconstructing a block of the picture by predicting the block partitions and combining the residuals with the predicted block partitions. Ohers embodiments are presented for a block partitioning on the border of the picture and for setting maximum and/or minimum block sizes.

    Abstract: The method for intra frame prediction allows for the recovery of some intra directional modes that are otherwise rendered useless due to the classical padding process. Directional modes are recovered by filling pixel locations in the prediction unit with samples from the portion of the unit that is determined to have samples available for use using a counterpart directional mode to the one that is useless. When it is determined that reference samples are missing for a particular prediction unit or portion thereof given a particular directional mode, a determination is made about whether reference samples along another portion of the prediction unit are available. The other portion is the side of the prediction unit at an opposite end of the particular directional mode. When it is determined that such reference samples are available, it is possible to extend the number of intra directional modes by replacing the particular directional modes that are rendered useless, because of the unavailability of reference samples, with their counterpart directional modes that are oppositely directed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for intra prediction in video encoding and decoding using a composite reference array are described. In one exemplary embodiment, the composite reference array is formed from two or more reference arrays of a plurality of reference arrays. The composite reference array can be formed by projecting along a prediction direction, one or more of the plurality of reference arrays onto a reference array closest to the block of the video data being encoded or decoded. The filter coefficients for the interpolation filter are then determined based on the locations of the predictors on different reference arrays. Interpolating reference samples from different reference arrays, the predictor value for a target sample can be obtained.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to improve compression efficiency in a video compression scheme enables use of new tools with multiple transform selection. In one embodiment, transform pair selection is based on a flag indicative of low-frequency non-separable transforms. In another embodiment, transform pair selection is based on a flag indicative of low-frequency non-separable transforms and on a flag indicative of matrix-based intra prediction. In another embodiment, when an implicit multiple transform selection mode is used, transform pair selection is based on a flag indicative of low-frequency non-separable transforms. Bitstream syntax is used to convey the flags.
