A method of controlling an Adaptive Loop Filter comprises obtaining for a slice containing one or more coding tree blocks, data indicating a number of available alternative chroma filters, obtaining for a coding tree block in the slice, an alternative filter index identifying one of the available alternative chroma filters, and selecting the alternative chroma filter identified by the index to filter chroma image data in the coding tree block.

Adaptive loop filter

A method and a device for encoding or decoding video data. It concerns more particularly the encoding according to a particular encoding mode using a decoder side motion vector derivation mode referenced as frame-rate up conversion mode or FRUC mode. In FRUC merge mode, the derivation process comprises a refinement step to increase the accuracy of the obtained motion vector at the sub-pixel level. This process involves the evaluation of different sub-pixel position around the obtained motion vector according to different patterns. The present invention has been devised to improve the known refinement step. It aims at improving the coding efficiency by considering the characteristics of the matching type and/or the signal inside the templates.

Method and apparatus for encoding or decoding video data with sub-pixel motion vector refinement

A method of encoding information about a motion information predictor, comprising: selecting one of a plurality of motion information predictor candidates; and encoding information for identifying the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, wherein the CABAC coding comprises, for at least one bit of said information, using the same context variable used for another inter prediction mode when one or both of a Triangle Merge mode or a Merge with Motion Vector Difference (MMVD) Merge mode is used.

Video coding and decoding

A method of encoding a motion information predictor index, comprising: generating a list of motion information predictor candidates; when an Affine Merge mode is used, selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as an Affine Merge mode predictor; when a non-Affine Merge mode is used, selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as a non-Affine Merge mode predictor; and generating a motion information predictor index for the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, one or more bits of the motion information predictor index being bypass CABAC coded.

A method of encoding a motion information predictor index for an Affine Merge mode, comprising: generating a list of motion information predictor candidates; selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as an Affine Merge mode predictor; and generating a motion information predictor index for the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, one or more bits of the motion information predictor index being bypass CABAC coded.

A method of controlling an Adaptive Loop Filter for one or more image portions of an image, the method comprising controlling filtering on a first sample of an image portion based on one or more neighbouring sample value(s) of the first sample value, wherein the controlling uses a nonlinear function which has one or more variables based on one or more of the neighbouring sample value(s).
