    Abstract: Techniques are described for palette-based video coding. In palette-based coding, a video coder may form a “palette” as a table of colors for representing video data of a particular area (e.g., a given block). Rather than coding actual pixel values (or their residuals), the video coder may code palette index values for one or more of the pixels that correspond to entries in the palette representing the colors of the pixels. A palette may be explicitly encoded, predicted from previous palette entries, or a combination thereof. In this disclosure, techniques are described for coding a block of video data that has a single color value using a single color mode as a sub-mode of a palette coding mode. The disclosed techniques enable a block having a single color value to be coded with a reduced number of bits compared to a normal mode of the palette coding mode.

    Abstract: In one example, a device includes a memory configured to store video data, and one or more processing units implemented in circuitry configured to construct a plurality of filters for classes of blocks of a current picture of the video data, wherein to construct the plurality of filters, the one or more processing units are configured to generate a plurality of sets of filter coefficients, and for a subset of the plurality of filters, determine respective indexes that identify one of the sets of filter coefficients for the corresponding filter of the subset; decode a current block of the current picture, determine a class for the current block, select a filter of the plurality of filters that corresponds to the class for the current block, and filter at least one pixel of the current block using the selected filter.
