Abstract: A mechanism for position dependent spatial varying transform (SVT) for video coding. A prediction block and a corresponding transformed residual block are received at a decoder. A type of spatial varying transform (SVT) employed to generate the transformed residual block is determined. A position of the SVT relative to the transformed residual block is also determined. An inverse of the SVT is applied to the transformed residual block to reconstruct a reconstructed residual block. The reconstructed residual block is then combined with the prediction block to reconstruct an image block.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism for viewpoint dependent video coding is disclosed. The mechanism includes mapping a spherical video sequence into a plurality of sub-picture video sequences. The mechanism further includes encoding the plurality of sub-picture video sequences as sub-picture bitstreams to support merging of the plurality of sub-picture bitstreams, the encoding ensuring that each sub-picture bitstream is self-referenced and two or more of the sub-picture bitstreams can be merged to generate a single video bitstream using a lightweight bitstream rewriting process that does not involve changing of any block-level coding results. A mergable indication is encoded to indicate that the sub-picture bitstream containing the indication is compatible with a multi-bitstream merge function for reconstruction of the spherical video sequence. A set of the sub-picture bitstreams and the mergable indication are transmitted toward the decoder to support decoding and displaying a virtual reality video viewport.

Abstract: An apparatus and method determining a motion vector for a block, which relates to motion vector determination employing template matching or bilateral matching, are provided. At first, candidate motion vectors are obtained and are mapped to respective representatives (representative motion vectors). In particular, if the obtained candidate motion vectors point to fractional positions and thus, interpolation from the integer sample positions is required, the initial motion vector is rounded to a closest integer sample position. The rounded position is then used to define the search space for the template or bilateral matching to determine the best matching motion vector for the block (in other words, a refinement of an initial motion vector around which the candidate space is spanned). Finally, the mapping operation can be reverted in order to obtain a result in the original search space.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first control parameter in a sequence parameter set (SPS) level, wherein a first value of the first control parameter in the SPS level indicates that a smoothing is not applied for any block of a sequence, a second value of the first control parameter in the SPS level indicates that the smoothing is applied for each block of the sequence, and obtaining a second control parameter in a slice header when a third value of the first control parameter in the SPS level is equal to a predefined value, wherein a first value of the second control parameter indicates that the smoothing is applied for each block of a slice.
