Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining whether an inter prediction process is enabled is disclosed in this application. The method includes obtaining an indication, where the indication indicates whether a slice-level weighted prediction mechanism is to be enabled in the inter prediction process. The method further includes determining, based on the indication, whether a non-rectangular merge mode or whether the slice-level weighted prediction mechanism is to be enabled in the inter prediction process. Furthermore, an encoder for encoding a data stream, like a video stream, using an inter prediction process and a decoder for decoding an encoded data stream, like an encoded video stream, using an inter prediction process, are disclosed.

Abstract: A mechanism for position dependent spatial varying transform (SVT) for video coding. A prediction block and a corresponding transformed residual block are received at a decoder. A type of spatial varying transform (SVT) employed to generate the transformed residual block is determined. A position of the SVT relative to the transformed residual block is also determined. An inverse of the SVT is applied to the transformed residual block to reconstruct a reconstructed residual block. The reconstructed residual block is then combined with the prediction block to reconstruct an image block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, an encoder, a decoder and corresponding methods for prediction refinement with optical flow (PROF) for an affine coded block, in which when a plurality of optical flow decision conditions are fulfilled for the affine coded block, performing a PROF process for a current sub-block of the affine coded block to obtain refined prediction sample values of the current sub-block of the affine coded block. After the sub-block based affine motion compensation is performed, a prediction sample value of the current sample of the current sub-block is refined by adding a delta prediction value. Thus, it allows for a better trade-off between coding complexity and prediction accuracy.
