Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion vector refinement. As a first step, an initial motion vector and a template for the block are obtained. Then, the refinement of the initial motion vector is determined by template matching with said template in a search space. The search space is located on a position given by the initial motion vector and includes one or more fractional sample positions, wherein each of the fractional sample positions belonging to the search space is obtained by interpolation filtering with a filter of a predefined tap-size assessing integer samples only within a window, said window being formed by integer samples accessible for the template matching in said search space.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to video coding and picture partitioning methods. In particular, the disclosure is concerned with relations between partition constraint elements, by setting partitioning rules for different picture partitioning methods. The disclosure provides devices and corresponding methods for generating or processing a bitstream including encoded pictures, particularly for setting and including partition constraint element into the bitstream. One of the devices is configured to determine a minimum luma size of a leaf block resulting from quadtree splitting (MinQtSizeY), determine a maximum luma size of a coding block where partitioning using a binary tree splitting is allowed (MaxBtSizeY) based on the MinQtSizeY, and include information for the determined MinQtSizeY into the bitstream.

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.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for filtering reconstructed images, in particular, video images, with adaptive multiplicative filters. The efficiency of the filtering operation is increased by restricting the allowable values of the filter coefficients to those that have only a limited number of “ones” in the binary representation.

Abstract: A method of decoding a coded video bitstream implemented by a video decoder. The method includes determining a split mode for a coding tree unit (CTU) in an encoded bitstream, where the split mode is one of triple tree (TT), vertical binary tree (BT), and horizontal BT; marking a coding unit (CU) from the CTU as not to be predicted by intra prediction when one of three conditions is met; parsing the encoded bitstream to obtain a prediction unit and residual information for the CU from the CTU; and reconstructing the CU based on the prediction unit and the residual information when the CU has been marked.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for marking the availability of a potential candidate coding block for intra prediction mode estimation of a current coding block are provided. One example method includes obtaining a parent block of a current coding block (parentCurr), and a parent block of a candidate coding block (parentCand). The current coding block and the candidate coding block are each obtained by splitting of the parentCurr and the parentCand, respectively. In one aspect, the current coding block cannot use an intra prediction mode of a potential candidate coding block when parentCand and parentCurr are the same block, a function of a number of quadtree, ternary tree, and binary tree splitting operations is greater than a threshold minus 1, and a split mode of the parent block of the current coding block parentCurr is a ternary tree split.
