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: 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 method of filtering a sample value of a picture includes, when an integer t is less than k and an integer j is in the range of 1 to m, generating, with an integer i in the range of 1 to k-t-1, a first filtered sample value by applying a first filter to the value of the sample p(i,j), where the first filter is supported by a first set of filter support samples, which does not comprise any samples p(i′,j′) with row index i′ greater than k-t-1, and generating, with i in the range of k-t to k, a second filtered sample value by applying a second filter to the value of the sample p(i,j), the second filter is supported by a second set of filter support samples, which does not comprise any samples p(i′,j′) with row index i′ less than k-t.

Abstract: A method of coding implemented by a decoding device or an encoding device, comprising obtaining indication information for a luma position (cbWidth/2, cbHeight/2) of a current coding block, relative to a top-left luma sample position (xCb, yCb) of the current coding block; setting a value of a luma intra prediction mode associated with the current coding block to a first default value, when the indication information indicates that an Intra Block Copy (IBC) mode or palette mode is applied for the luma component at the luma position (cbWidth/2, cbHeight/2), relative to the top-left luma sample position (xCb, yCb) of the current coding block; and obtaining a value of a chroma intra prediction mode based on the value of the luma intra prediction mode of the current coding block.

Abstract: A method of video coding implemented by a coding device includes obtaining block size information of a current block to be coded in an intra sub-partition (ISP) coding mode, determining a partitioning direction based on the block size information, determining, based on the block size information, a number of sub-partitions to which the current block is to be partitioned in the partitioning direction, wherein the sub-partitions are for intra prediction separately with a width of each of the sub-partitions bigger than or equal to 4 or collaboratively by combining at least two of the sub-partitions with a combined width of the at least two sub-partitions bigger than or equal to 4, and coding the sub-partitions.

Abstract: Devices and methods for Intra prediction are provided. The method includes: parsing a bitstream, wherein the bitstream includes indication information to indicate whether a closest neighboring reference line to the current block is used for an intra prediction; determining an intra prediction mode of the current block is not Planar mode when the closest neighboring reference line to the current block is not used for the intra prediction; and obtaining an index indicating which intra prediction mode in a set of most probable modes is used for the intra prediction mode of the current block when the intra prediction mode of the current block is not Planar mode. The method can improve the efficiency to determine the intra prediction mode of the current block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices to be employed for encoding and decoding of image or video signal. They include determination of whether or not the size of a current block is larger than a minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size. If the size of the current block is not larger than the minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size, multi-type tree splitting is applied to the current block. The minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size is not larger than a maximum allowed binary tree root node size or the minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size is not larger than a maximum allowed ternary tree root node size.
