    Abstract: A coding method and a decoding method for decoding a coded data stream representative of at least one image that is split into blocks. For at least one current block of the image, an item of information indicating a coding mode of the current block is decoded from the data stream. When the coding mode of the current block corresponds to a first coding mode, the current block is decoded using a first determined quantization step to dequantize, in the transform domain, a prediction residue associated with the current block. When the coding mode of the current block corresponds to a second coding mode, the current block is decoded using a second determined quantization step to dequantize, in the spatial domain, a prediction residue associated with the current block. The first quantization step and the second quantization step are determined according to the same quantization parameter.

    Abstract: An apparatus for encoding a block of a picture includes a convolutional neural network (CNN) for determining a block partitioning of the block, the block having an N×N size and a smallest partition determined by the CNN being of size S×S. The CNN includes feature extraction layers; a concatenation layer that receives, from the feature extraction layers, first feature maps of the block, where each first feature map of the first feature maps is of the smallest possible partition size S×S of the block; and at least one classifier that is configured to infer partition decisions for sub-blocks of size (αS)×(αS) of the block, where α is a power of 2.

    Abstract: An encoder (e.g., a Versatile Video Coding (VVC) encoder, etc.) may make real-time encoding decisions to vary a bitrate of a content item (e.g., high-resolution video, streaming content, a movie, a show/program, etc.) by upsampling and/or downsampling portions (e.g., frames/slices, group of pictures (GOP), coding units (CU), coding tree units (CTU), etc.) based on a cost function that utilizes a versatile Lagrangian multiplier (denoted as A) to denote the versatility). The versatile Lagrangian multiplier may not only account for the effects of quantization (e.g., a quantization parameter (QP), etc.) on portions of the content item, instead, the versatile Lagrangian multiplier may also be based on adjustment parameters associated with content resolution and/or playback quality of experience (QoE). The versatile Lagrangian multiplier enables a substantial decrease in transmission bitrate for portions of a content item without reducing the visual presentation quality and keeping an end-user quality of experience (QoE) at an optimal level.

    Abstract: A method of encoding input data to generate corresponding encoded data is provided. The method includes encoding the input data into a plurality of symbols in the encoded data, wherein the plurality of symbols represent data as defined by a plurality of palettes indicated and/or included in the encoded data. The method further includes determining mutually different palettes to be used for encoding mutually different parts of the input data, and using the mutually different palettes for encoding the mutually different parts of the input data. Moreover, the method also includes including, within the encoded data, information associating the mutually different palettes with their respective parts of the input data encoded into the encoded data, wherein the information includes palette selection indices for referencing the mutually different palettes on a block-by-block basis.
