Abstract: An inter-prediction method and apparatus 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 first according to the checking order, and the central search space position is pointed to by the initial motion vector.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to image encoding/decoding applying decoder side intra-prediction mode determination (DIMD). In order to reduce the computational complexity, DIMD for a current coding block based on a template of a neighboring reconstructed coding block is not performed if the border between the current and the reconstructed coding block concurs with a border between coding tree blocks.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, as well as an encoding method and a decoding method. In particular, the present disclosure relates to block partitioning and signaling the partitioning parameters in a bitstream. An override flag in a slice header indicates whether or not a block is to be partitioned according to a first partition constraint information. The override flag is included in the bitstream and the block is partitioned accordingly.

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 encoder and a decoder respectively encode and decode signal and syntax elements to/from a bitstream. In the encoding/decoding, semantics for the syntax elements are derived in accordance with previously decoded signal samples. Such encoding/decoding is applicable for instance to a video or audio signal.

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.
