Abstract: A method of coding, implemented by a decoding device, includes obtaining a bitstream wherein at least one bit in the bitstream representing a syntax element for a current block, wherein the syntax element specifies the clipping index of the clipping value for an adaptive loop filter (ALF); parsing the bitstream to obtain a value of the syntax element for the current block, wherein the syntax element is coded using a fixed length code; applying adaptive loop filtering on the current block, based on the value of the syntax element for the current block. Herein fixed length code means that all possible values of the syntax element are signaled using the same number of bits.

Abstract: An in-loop deblocking filter apparatus (120) for processing a current row or column of samples into a filtered row or column of samples. The current row or column of samples comprises a plurality of samples from a first sample block and a horizontally or vertically neighboring second sample block of a reconstructed picture of a video stream. The samples of the current row or column of samples have sample values pN−1−p0, q0−qN−1 wherein N is an even integer greater than 2. If a first condition or a second condition is satisfied, the current row or column is processed by: determining a filtered sample value q0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−2, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−1 of the current row or column; and/or determining a filtered sample value p0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−1, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−2 of the current row or column.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism includes receiving a bitstream comprising a current picture including a sub-picture coded according to inter-prediction. Coded blocks contain candidate motion vectors for a current block of the sub-picture. The coded blocks include a collocated block from a different picture. A candidate list of candidate motion vectors for the current block are derived by excluding collocated motion vectors from the candidate list when the collocated motion vectors are included in the collocated block, when the collocated motion vectors point outside of the sub-picture, and when a flag is set to indicate the sub-picture is treated as a picture. A current motion vector for the current block is determined from the candidate list of candidate motion vectors. The current block is decoded based on the current motion vector. The current block is forwarded for display as part of a decoded video sequence.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a bitstream including a plurality of picture parameter sets (PPSs) and a plurality of pictures at a plurality of picture sizes. A first picture size of a first picture is determined from a first PPS. The first picture is decoded at the first picture size to create a decoded reference picture. The decoded reference picture is stored in a decoded picture buffer. A second picture size of a second picture is determined from a second PPS. The second picture references the decoded reference picture according to inter-prediction. The decoded reference picture is scaled from the first picture size to the second picture size. The second picture is decoded at the second picture size based on the decoded reference picture at the second picture size.
