Abstract: An apparatus and method for marking availability of a candidate coding block for merge estimation of a current coding block within a coding tree unit (CTU). The candidate block may be marked as unavailable if a splitting depth of the current coding block is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold and a first location of the candidate block and a second location of the current block are included in a same merge estimation region (MER). Otherwise, the candidate block is marked as available. A candidate block may be marked as unavailable also, when a parent block “parentCurr” of the current block and a parent block “parentCand” of the candidate block, with both parent blocks obtained by splitting, are the same block and when the size of the parentCand is smaller than a threshold.

Abstract: A method for deblocking a chroma block edge between a first chroma block of a first image block and a second chroma block of a second image block. The method includes a decision process which includes: determining a first chroma quantization parameter for the first chroma block based on a first luma quantization parameter of a first luma block of the first image block and a chroma QP mapping table for the first chroma block; determining a second chroma quantization parameter for the second chroma block based on a second luma quantization parameter of a second luma block of the second image block and a chroma QP mapping table for the second chroma block; determining an averaged and rounded chroma quantization parameter based on the first chroma quantization parameter and the second chroma quantization parameter; and determining a threshold parameter based on the averaged and rounded chroma quantization parameter.

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.

Abstract: An in-loop deblocking filter apparatus (120) for processing a current row or column of samples into a filtered row or column of samples. The current row or column of samples comprises a plurality of samples from a first sample block and a horizontally or vertically neighboring second sample block of a reconstructed picture of a video stream. The samples of the current row or column of samples have sample values pN−1−p0, q0−qN−1 wherein N is an even integer greater than 2. If a first condition or a second condition is satisfied, the current row or column is processed by: determining a filtered sample value q0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−2, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−1 of the current row or column; and/or determining a filtered sample value p0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−1, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−2 of the current row or column.
