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 of decoding video data from a bitstream, the bitstream comprising video data corresponding to one or more slices. The bitstream comprises a picture header comprising syntax elements to be used when decoding one or more slices, and a slice header comprising syntax elements to be used when decoding a slice. In the picture header at least one syntax element indicating whether a decoding tool may be used in the picture. When the decoding tool is used in the picture, at least one APS ID related syntax element is parsed for the decoding tool in the picture header. The decoding also comprises parsing, in a slice header, at least one syntax element indicating whether the decoding tool is to be used or not for that slice prior to syntax elements relating to other decoding tools. A bitstream is decoded using said syntax elements.

High level syntax for video coding and decoding

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 decoding video data from a bitstream, the bitstream comprising video data corresponding to one or more slices. The bitstream comprises a picture header comprising syntax elements to be used when decoding one or more slices, and a slice header comprising syntax elements to be used when decoding a slice. The decoding comprises in a case where information which can be signalled in the picture header or in the slice header is signalled in the picture header, a picture header is to be signalled in a slice header, permitting parsing of information which may otherwise be signalled in a slice header and a picture header, in only one of the slice header or picture header; imposing that the picture header is not in the slice header, and decoding said bitstream using said syntax elements.

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.
