Abstract: A method for inverse quantization of a current block of a picture is performed by a decoder, and the picture comprises a luminance component and a chrominance component, wherein the luminance component and the chrominance component are partitioned into multiple blocks. The method includes: obtaining one or more existing quantization parameter (QP) values from a received bitstream, wherein the one or more existing QP values relate to a current block in the chrominance component; determining a QP value for the current block in the chrominance component based on the one or more existing QP values; and performing inverse quantization on the current block in the chrominance component by using the determined QP value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for encoding video data into a bitstream and for decoding video data received in a bitstream. A second control flag indicating whether or not to use multi-hypothesis prediction for intra and inter mode is generated and transmitted only conditionally, upon a determination whether or not separate merge list technique for subblock merge candidates is used. On the other hand, a decoder is capable of deciding usage of multi-hypothesis prediction for intra and inter mode and separate merge list technique for subblock merge candidates even though the second control flag is transmitted only conditionally.

Abstract: Improved deriving and signaling of minimum and maximum block sizes in the context of partitioning processes is provided herein. In particular, it is provided a method of deriving a minimum coding block size implemented by a decoding device, comprising: parsing a value of a syntax element from a bitstream, deriving the binary logarithm of the minimum coding block size by adding 2 to the parsed value of the syntax element, and deriving the minimum block size from the derived binary logarithm of the minimum coding block size. Restrictions on the syntax element values related to the partitioning process are introduced to prevent undefined behavior and unpredictable code length in case of using variable length codes.

Abstract: A method related to adaptive usage of pixel-based and block-based affine motion compensation and includes performing sub-block-based affine transform prediction on an affine block with a first sub-block size if the first sub-block size is greater than or equal to a first sub-block size threshold. If the first sub-block size is less than the first sub-block size threshold, it is determined whether a pixel-based motion vector field is not applied for performing motion compensation for the affine block. If the motion vector field is not applied, a sub-block-based affine motion prediction is performed with a second sub-block size that is based on the first sub-block size. If the pixel-based motion vector field is applied, motion compensation is performed for a sub-block of the affine block using the pixel-based motion vector field.
