An example method of video coding includes receiving a video bitstream that includes a plurality of blocks and a plurality of quantized transform coefficients. The method includes deriving a dequantized transform coefficient for a first quantized transform coefficient of the plurality of quantized transform coefficients. The method also includes obtaining an adjusted transform value by applying an offset value to the dequantized transform coefficient, the adjusted transform value based on a quantized transform coefficient level and a current state of dequantization. The method further includes reconstructing a first block using the adjusted transform value.

Systems and methods for dependent quantization based on current dequantization states

In a method, a first area and a second area of a current frame is determined when the current frame is a GDR frame. The first area is independently coded and the second area is coded with dependency. When a current block in the current frame is coded by an intraTMP mode or an IBC mode, a search range of the intraTMP mode or the IBC mode is determined such that the search range is only in the first area of the current frame. A reference block is determined from a plurality of candidate reference blocks in the search range. The current block is encoded in a bitstream based on the determined reference block.

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for coding video. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a video bitstream including a current coding block of a current image frame and determining that the current coding block is to be predicted in a weighted bi-prediction (WBP) mode. The method further includes in response to the current coding block being predicted in the WBP mode, determining that the current coding block is associated with two bi-prediction blocks and identifying a plurality of distinct weighting factor lists including at least a first list of positive weighting factors and a second list of mixed weighting factors. The method further includes selecting one of the weighing factor lists, identifying a first weighting factor from the weighing factor lists, and reconstructing the current image frame, including determining the current coding block by combining the two bi-prediction blocks based on the first weighting factor.
