Abstract:
A method and apparatus of entropy coding for a video encoder or decoder using multiple-table based Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coder (CABAC) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a current bin of a binary data of a current coding symbol is encoded or decoded according to a probability of a binary value of the current bin and the probability of the binary value is updated according to the binary value of the current bin for a next bin by using multiple-parameter probability models. Each multiple-parameter probability model is updated using at least one lookup table with the individual set of probability state as a table index to access contents of said at least one lookup table. In another embodiment, the range update is calculated for a range interval based on middle value of the range interval.

Aspects of the disclosure include a video decoding device that includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive encoded video data associated with a current block of a current image frame, determine a set of candidate motion vectors for the current block, determine a selection index based on the encoded video data, and select one of the set of candidate motion vectors based on the selection index. The processing circuit is further configured to refine the selected candidate motion vector to become a reconstructed motion vector when the selected candidate motion vector meets a predetermined condition, and generate an image of the current image frame for output, including generating a reconstructed image of the current block based on the reconstructed motion vector.

A method for chroma intra prediction mode decoding includes decoding a chroma intra prediction mode for a current chroma block according to a codeword set corresponding to a chroma intra prediction mode set, wherein the codeword set comprises at least one codeword with a first length type and at least one codeword with a second length type. If a codeword is one of said at least one codeword with the first length type, the chroma intra prediction mode is decoded as a Luma-based chroma prediction Mode (LM) or a Direct Mode (DM). The method also includes determines the chroma intra prediction mode based on an intra prediction mode of a current luma block if the chroma intra prediction mode is the DM.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for deriving a motion vector predictor (MVP) candidate set for a block are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention generate a complete full MVP candidate set based on the redundancy-removed MVP candidate set if one or more redundant MVP candidates exist. In one embodiment, the method generates the complete full MVP candidate set by adding replacement MVP candidates to the redundancy-removed MVP candidate set and a value corresponding to a non-redundant MVP is assigned to each replacement MVP candidate. In another embodiment, the method generates the complete full MVP candidate set by adding replacement MVP candidates to the redundancy-removed MVP candidate set and a value is as signed to each replacement MVP candidate according to a rule. The procedure of assigning value, checking redundancy, removing redundant MVP candidate are repeated until the MVP candidate set is complete and full.

Video encoding or decoding methods and apparatuses include receiving input data associated with a current block in a current picture, determining a preload region in a reference picture shared by two or more coding configurations of affine prediction or motion compensation or by two or more affine refinement iterations, loading reference samples in the preload region, generating predictors for the current block, and encoding or decoding the current block according to the predictors. The predictors associated with the affine refinement iterations or coding configurations are generated based on some of the reference samples in the preload region.
Abstract:
Video processing methods and apparatuses in a video encoding or decoding system for processing a video picture partitioned into blocks with one or more partition constraints. The video encoding or decoding system receives input data of a current block and checks whether a predefined splitting type is allowed to partition the current block according to first and second constraints. The first constraint restricts each sub-block partitioned from the current block to be completely contained in one pipeline unit, and the second constraint restricts each sub-block partitioned from the current block to contain one or more complete pipeline units. The pipeline units are non-overlapping units in the video picture designed for pipeline processing. The current block is not partitioned by the predefined splitting type if any sub-block partitioned by the predefined splitting type violates both the first and second constraints. The system encodes or decodes the current block.
Abstract:
Video data processing methods and apparatuses receive input data associated with a current split node partitioned from a parent node by a splitting type, determine a depth of the current split node according to the splitting type, and compare the depth of the current split node with a maximum delta QP signaling depth. A video decoding system derives a delta QP from one or more syntax elements signaled in a TU associated with the current split node according to the comparing result, reconstructs a final QP for the current split node based on a reference QP and the delta QP, and decodes one or more TUs associated with the current split node using the final QP. The depth is counted in a way considering different splitting types and splitting partitions.
Abstract:
Various schemes pertaining to pre-encoding processing of a video stream with motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) are described. An apparatus determines a filtering interval for a received raw video stream having pictures in a temporal sequence. The apparatus selects from the pictures a plurality of target pictures based on the filtering interval, as well as a group of reference pictures for each target picture to perform pixel-based MCTF, which generates a corresponding filtered picture for each target picture. The apparatus subsequently transmits the filtered pictures as well as non-target pictures to an encoder for encoding the video stream. Subpictures of natural images and screen content images are separately processed by the apparatus.
Abstract:
Video processing methods and apparatuses implemented in a video encoding or decoding system with conditional secondary transform signaling. The video encoding system determines and applies a transform operation to residuals of a transform block to generate final transform coefficients, and adaptively signals a secondary transform index according to a position of a last significant coefficient in the transform block. A value of the secondary transform index is determined according to the transform operation. The video decoding system parses last significant coefficient position syntax of each transform block in the current block from a video bitstream to determine a position of a last significant coefficient for each transform block, and infers inverse secondary transform is not applied to the current block according to the positions of the last significant coefficients; otherwise, the video decoding system determines an inverse transform operation by parsing a secondary transform index from the video bitstream.
