Abstract: For picture decoding and encoding of neural-network-based bitstreams, a picture is represented by an input set of samples which is obtained from the bitstream. The picture is reconstructed from output subsets, which are generated as a result of processing the input set L. The input set is divided into multiple input subsets Li. The input subsets are each subject to processing with a neural network having one or more layers. The neural network uses as input multiple samples of an input subset and generates one sample of an output subset. By combining the output subsets, the picture is reconstructed. In particular, the size of at least one input subset is smaller than a size that is required to obtain the size of the respective output subset, after processing by the one or more layers of the neural network.

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: A method of coding, implemented by a decoding device, includes obtaining a bitstream wherein at least one bit in the bitstream representing a syntax element for a current block, wherein the syntax element specifies the clipping index of the clipping value for an adaptive loop filter (ALF); parsing the bitstream to obtain a value of the syntax element for the current block, wherein the syntax element is coded using a fixed length code; applying adaptive loop filtering on the current block, based on the value of the syntax element for the current block. Herein fixed length code means that all possible values of the syntax element are signaled using the same number of bits.
