Abstract: A deblocking filter of an image processing device is provided. The deblocking filter is used in an image coding process, for deblocking a block edge between a first coding block and a second coding block of an image. The first block has SA samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge, and the second block has SB samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge. No more than IA samples of the first coding block are used as first filter input values, and no more than IB samples of the second coding block are used as second filter input values. No more than MA samples of the first coding block are modified as first filter output values, and no more than MB samples of the second coding block are modified as second filter output values.

Abstract: A method operates a two-dimensional (2D) separable interpolation filter for coding a video. The 2D separable interpolation filter includes a first second one-dimensional (1D) interpolation filter and a temporal buffer. The method includes: obtaining filter coefficients for the first 1D interpolation filter; comparing a sum of positive filter coefficients of the obtained filter coefficients with a threshold; and upon determining that the sum of positive filter coefficients is larger than the threshold, amending one or more of the filter coefficients to obtain amended filter coefficients, the filter coefficients being amended such that a sum of positive filter coefficients is not larger than the threshold; applying the amended filter coefficients to samples of the video to obtain a value of a fractional sample position of the video; re-scaling the value of the fractional sample position; and storing the re-scaled value of the fractional sample position in the temporal buffer.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for encoding and decoding a video are provided. The method includes determining whether at least one of two blocks of an image in a video is predicted with a combined inter-intra prediction (CIIP), where the two blocks include a first block (block Q) and a second block (block P). There is a boundary between the two blocks. The method further includes setting a boundary strength (Bs) for the boundary to a first value when at least one of the two blocks is predicted with the CIIP, and performing deblocking filter based on the Bs.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium for inter-prediction and an encoder are provided. An initial motion vector is obtained for a current block. Search space positions are determined according to the initial motion vector. Matching costs for the search space positions are checked according to a checking order to select a target search space position with a minimal matching cost. A refining motion vector of the current block is determined based on the initial motion vector and the target search space position. A central search space position is determined according to the checking order, and the central search space position is pointed to by the initial motion vector.

Abstract: A deblocking method is provided for deblocking a sub-partition boundary within a coding block during image encoding and/or image decoding process. The coding block is coded in an intra prediction mode and the coding block is partitioned into sub-partitions comprising a first sub-partition and a second sub-partition that is adjacent to the first sub-partition. The method comprises: determining a maximum filter length to be 1 for a first/second sub-partition when a width of the first or second sub-partition is 4 samples, or when a height of the first or second sub-partition is 4 samples; modifying a value of up to one sample of the first or second sub-partition, wherein the value of the up to one sample is obtained from a row or a column of the first or second sub-partition that is perpendicular to and adjacent to the sub-partitions boundary between the first sub-partition and the second sub-partition.
