Abstract: Methods and apparatus of coding a video sequence, wherein pictures from the video sequence contain one or more discontinuous edges are disclosed. The loop filtering process associated with the loop filter is then applied to the current reconstructed pixel to generate a filtered reconstructed pixel, where if the loop filtering process is across a virtual boundary of the current picture, one or more alternative reference pixels are used to replace unexpected reference pixels located in a different side of the virtual boundary from the current reconstructed pixel, and said one or more alternative reference pixels are generated from second reconstructed pixels in a same side of the virtual boundary as the current reconstructed pixel. According to another method, reference pixels are derived from spherical neighbouring reference pixels for the loop filtering process.

Abstract: Method and apparatus of coding pictures containing one or more virtual boundaries, such as 360-degree virtual reality (VR360) video are disclosed. According to this method, a reconstructed filtered unit associated with a loop filter for a current reconstructed pixel is received. The loop filtering process associated with the loop filter is applied to the current reconstructed pixel to generate a filtered reconstructed pixel, where if the loop filtering process for the current reconstructed pixel is across a virtual boundary of the picture, the loop filtering process is disabled when fixed-size loop filtering is used or a smaller-size loop filter is selected when adaptive-size loop filtering is used for the current reconstructed pixel, where the filtered reconstructed pixel is the same as the current reconstructed pixel when the loop filtering process is disabled. The filtered reconstructed pixel is the same as the current reconstructed pixel.

Abstract: Method and apparatus of coding a video sequence are disclosed. According to this method, a first syntax is signalled in or parsed from a bitstream, where the first syntax indicates whether a loop filtering process is disabled for one or more virtual boundaries in a corresponding region. A reconstructed filter unit in a current picture is received, wherein the reconstructed filter unit is associated with the loop filter and the reconstructed filter unit comprises reconstructed pixels for applying a loop filtering process associated with the loop filter to a current reconstructed pixel. When the first syntax is true, the loop filter processing is disabled when the reconstructed filter unit is across said one or more virtual boundaries in the corresponding region. When the first syntax is false, the loop filter processing is not disabled when the reconstructed filter unit is across the virtual boundary.
