    摘要: A method and apparatus of encoding or decoding for a coding system, where bi-directional CU (coding unit) weighting (BCW) is enabled for the coding system to allow using multiple pairs of weights, are disclosed. According to this method, a Merge candidate list is generated for the current block, where current bi-directional CU weights for a bi-directional predictor of the current block associated with a target Merge candidate in the Merge candidate list are set to a pre-define pair of weights when the target Merge candidate corresponds to a selected Merge candidate. In another method, current bi-directional CU weights for a bi-directional predictor associated with a target Merge candidate in the Merge candidate list are inherited from the target Merge candidate when the target Merge candidate corresponds to a selected Merge candidate.

    摘要: For each prediction candidate of a set of one or more prediction candidates of the current block, a video coder computes a matching cost between a set of reference pixels of the prediction candidate in a reference picture and a set of neighboring pixels of a current block in a current picture. The video coder identifies a subset of the reference pictures as major reference pictures based on a distribution of the prediction candidates among the reference pictures of the current picture. A bounding block is defined for each major reference picture, the bounding block encompassing at least portions of multiple sets of reference pixels for multiple prediction candidates. The video coder assigns an index to each prediction candidate based on the computed matching cost of the set of prediction candidates. A selection of a prediction candidate is signaled by using the assigned index of the selected prediction candidate.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for in-loop processing of reconstructed video are disclosed. According to one method, a virtual boundary is determined for to-be-processed pixels in the current picture, where the virtual boundary is aligned with block boundaries and at least one to-be-processed pixel on a first side of the virtual boundary requires one or more second pixels on a second side of the virtual boundary. According to the method, the in-loop processing is modified if a target to-be-processed pixel requires at least one second pixel from the second side of the virtual boundary and the modified in-loop processing eliminates the need for any second pixel on the second side of the virtual boundary. According to another method, the operations of block classification are changed when part of the required pixels in one 10×10 window used in classification are at the other side of virtual boundaries.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for encoding or decoding transform coefficients in a video coding system are disclosed. According to this method, a region after zero-outis determined. A remaining number of context-coded bins is determined for the current TB based on a size of the region after zero-out. The current TB is encoded or decoded using context-based coding with a constraint based on the remaining number of context-coded bins. According to another method, a remaining number of context-coded bins is determined for the current TB based on the last significant CG index.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of video coding operate by receiving input data associated with a current data unit in a current picture, wherein the current data unit includes a luma component and a chroma component and the current data unit includes a luma data unit and a chroma data unit. The operation proceeds by splitting the luma data unit and the Chroma data unit using one shared tree until the luma data unit and the chroma data unit reach a stop node, encoding or decoding the stop node as a leaf CU (coding unit) if the stop node is greater than M×N for the luma component, M and N are positive integers, and signalling or parsing a prediction mode for the stop node if the stop node is smaller than or equal to M×N for the luma component.

    摘要: A video coding method using inter-layer prediction or referencing is provided. A video decoder receives data from a bitstream carrying data for video pictures in a plurality of different layers. At least one of the plurality of layers comprises temporal sublayers that correspond to levels in a hierarchical temporal prediction structure. Each temporal sublayer is associated with a temporal identifier. The video decoder receives an inter-layer prediction constraint parameter constraining a maximum temporal sublayer used in inter-layer prediction. The video decoder reconstructs a first picture in a first layer by referencing data of a second picture in a second layer. A temporal identifier of the referenced data satisfies the received inter-layer prediction constraint parameter.
