Abstract: A partitioning method comprises determining whether a current block of a picture is a boundary block and whether the size of the current block is larger than a minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size; and if the current block is the boundary block and the size of the current block is not larger than the minimum allowed quadtree leaf node size (MinQTSize), applying forced binary tree (BT) partitioning to the current block. A method comprises making a determination that a current block of a picture is a boundary block and that a size of the current block is less than or equal to a minimum allowed quadtree (QT) leaf node size (MinQTSize); and applying, in response to the determination, forced binary tree (BT) partitioning to the current block.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to picture or video encoding and decoding. A picture portion includes a luma component and a chroma component with a resolution lower than a resolution of the luma component. To obtain matching resolution of the luma component and the chroma component, a selection is performed between a down-sampling processing of the luma component and an up-sampling processing of the chroma component. Then, the selected processing is applied to a picture portion. The bitstream is then generated based on the selected processing, and includes encoding the processed picture portion. The selection between chroma up-sampling and luma down-sampling enables adaption of the input picture portion for the desired application. For example, some applications may aim at reducing complexity or bitrate in which case the luma down-sampling may be more favorable, whereas other application may aim at higher quality in which case chroma up-sampling may be more favorable.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the construction of a search space for determining a motion vector for a current block of a picture in a video sequence. The search space construction is split into in two main stages, wherein a first and a second partial search space are respectively determined. Based on an initial estimate of a motion vector, a first search space is first constructed. A first and a second candidate motion of the first search space are identified according to a cost function. Based on the first and the second candidate motion vectors, a second search space is constructed. The motion vector for the current block is selected from the candidate motion vectors of the first search space and the second search space.
