    摘要: Methods and apparatus of processing 360-degree virtual reality (VR360) pictures are disclosed. According to one method, if a leaf coding unit contains one or more face edges, the leaf processing unit is split into sub-processing units along the face edges without the need to signal the partition. In another method, if the quadtree (QT) of binary tree (BT) partition depth for a processing unit has not reached the maximum QT or BT depth, the processing unit is split. If the processing unit contains a horizontal face edge, QT or horizontal BT partition is applied. If the processing unit contains a vertical face edge, QT or vertical BT partition is applied.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus of coding a video sequence, wherein pictures from the video sequence contain one or more discontinuous edges are disclosed. The loop filtering process associated with the loop filter is then applied to the current reconstructed pixel to generate a filtered reconstructed pixel, where if the loop filtering process is across a virtual boundary of the current picture, one or more alternative reference pixels are used to replace unexpected reference pixels located in a different side of the virtual boundary from the current reconstructed pixel, and said one or more alternative reference pixels are generated from second reconstructed pixels in a same side of the virtual boundary as the current reconstructed pixel. According to another method, reference pixels are derived from spherical neighbouring reference pixels for the loop filtering process.
