Abstract: An inter-prediction method and apparatus are provided. An initial motion vector is obtained for a current block. Search space positions are determined according to the initial motion vector. Matching costs for the search space positions are checked according to a checking order to select a target search space position with a minimal matching cost. A refining motion vector of the current block is determined based on the initial motion vector and the target search space position. A central search space position is determined first according to the checking order, and the central search space position is pointed to by the initial motion vector.

Abstract: The present invention relates 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 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 vector 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.

Abstract: A method and image processing device are provided, including a deblocking filter. The deblocking filter modifies values of at most MA samples of the first image block as first filter output values, the at most MA samples being obtained from a column of the first image block that is perpendicular to and adjacent to the horizontal block edge; and modifies values of at most MB samples of the second image block as second filter output values, the at most MB samples being obtained from a column of the second image block that is perpendicular to and adjacent to the horizontal block edge. At most a number MA of sample values of the first image block adjacent to the block edge are modified and at most a number MB of sample values of the second image block adjacent to the block edge are modified, wherein MA

Abstract: A method for constructing a most probable mode (MPM) list for prediction process corresponding to video block is provided. The method includes determining whether a left block of a current coding block is available, in response to determining that the left block of the current coding block is available, adding an intra prediction mode of the left block into an MPM list; determining whether an above block of the current coding block is available, in response to determining that the above block of the current coding block is available, adding an intra prediction mode of the above block into the MPM list; adding an offset to the prediction mode of the left block to obtain a new prediction mode; and adding the above-offset prediction mode into the MPM list when the above-offset prediction mode is not in the MPM list. The MPM list is used to improve coding efficiency.

Abstract: A method for boundary partition of a current block of a picture is provided. The method includes that a decoder receives a bitstream, where the bitstream includes a partition indicator; parses the bitstream to obtain the partition indicator; determines whether the current block is to be split based on the partition indicator; determines whether the current block is a boundary block when the current block is not to be split; and performs a boundary partition on the current block when the current block is a boundary block. The partition indicator of a same partition syntax is used no matter whether the current block is a boundary block (isB) or a non-boundary block (noB), which is benefit to keep the continuity of context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) engine, thus it will lead to higher coding efficiency.

Abstract: A method of video coding implemented by a coding device includes obtaining block size information of a current block to be coded in an intra sub-partition (ISP) coding mode, determining a partitioning direction based on the block size information, determining, based on the block size information, a number of sub-partitions to which the current block is to be partitioned in the partitioning direction, wherein the sub-partitions are for intra prediction separately with a width of each of the sub-partitions bigger than or equal to 4 or collaboratively by combining at least two of the sub-partitions with a combined width of the at least two sub-partitions bigger than or equal to 4, and coding the sub-partitions.

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 invention relates to the performance of motion vector refinement in a search space for multi-reference inter-prediction. Two or more reference pictures are selected, one of those used for motion vector refinement. Based on an initial estimate of a motion vector to the reference picture for motion vector refinement, a search space in this reference image is constructed. Using template matching, the first motion vector is refined. The second motion vector to another reference picture is calculated using its initial estimate, the initial estimate of the first motion vector and the refined first motion vector.
