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, which includes multiple coding blocks. Initially, the candidate coding block is marked as available. The candidate coding block is marked as unavailable when a predefined location of the candidate coding block is included within an extended merge estimation region, MER. The extended MER includes a current MER in which the current coding block is located and at least a portion of another MER, adjacent to the current MER.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processor configured to obtain a point cloud, make a choice between octree encoding or quadtree encoding of a parent node, and encode the parent node into a bitstream based on the choice; and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the bitstream. An apparatus comprises a receiver configured to receive a bitstream; and a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to parse from the bitstream a first parameter indicating a depth of PCC, decode first nodes before the depth using octree decoding, parse from the bitstream a second parameter indicating a node coding mode for second nodes at and after the depth, and decode the second nodes based on the second parameter.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism for viewpoint dependent video coding is disclosed. The mechanism includes mapping a spherical video signal, stitched from multiple directional video signals, into a plurality of sub-picture video signals each containing a sequence of sub-pictures. The plurality of sub-picture video signals are encoded as a plurality of sub-picture bitstreams. The plurality of sub-picture bitstreams are composed into a plurality of sub-picture tracks to be compatible with a multi-bitstream merge function for reconstruction of the spherical video signal. A track level mergable indication is encoded within a track level box for the sub-picture tracks, which indicates the sub-picture tracks are compatible with the multi-bitstream merge function for reconstruction of the spherical video signal.

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: 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.
