Methods, systems, apparatus for video processing are described. The processing may include encoding, decoding or transcoding. One example video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video including one or more pictures and a bitstream of the video according to a format rule. The format rule specifies to include, in a general constrain syntax structure, a syntax element indicating whether each picture includes only one slice, and whether a picture header syntax structure is present in a slice header.

A method of video processing is described. The method includes performing a conversion between a current block of a video and a bitstream representation of the video, wherein the current block is coded with a dictionary-based coding mode using one or more dictionaries, and wherein the conversion is based on the one or more dictionaries.

An example method of video processing includes performing, for a current region comprising a luma block, a first chroma block, and a second chroma block, a conversion between the current region of a video and a bitstream representation of the video according to a rule that specifies an order in which, during decoding, the first chroma block and the second chroma block are processed based on mapped sample values of the luma block.

One example method includes performing a conversion between a video picture that includes one or more tiles and one or more rectangular slices and a bitstream of the video according to a rule.

Coding of pictures containing slices and tiles

A method includes performing a conversion between a video comprising a video picture that includes one or more subpictures and a bitstream of the video according to a format rule. The format rule specifies that whether each of the one or more subpictures in the video picture includes a single slice is determined based on a constraint flag.

Subpicture signaling in video bitstreams

One example method includes performing a conversion between a video including a video picture that includes a video slice and a bitstream of the video. The bitstream conforms to a format rule specifying that a slice type of the video slice determines a manner by which certain information from a picture header for the video picture is inherited by a slice header of the video slice.

Collocated picture indication in video bitstreams

Devices, systems and methods for digital video coding, which includes methods for transform design, are described. In a representative aspect, a method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a current video block of a video and a bitstream of the video based on a rule, wherein the rule specifies that a selection of a transform matrix set for performing a transform operation during the conversion is based on a low-frequency non-separable transform index indicated in the bitstream, wherein the rule specifies that the transform operation includes, during an encoding operation, coding the current video block into the bitstream by applying a forward transform on residual values of the current video block, or wherein the rule specifies that the transform operation includes, during a decoding operation, generating from the bitstream the current video block by applying an inverse transform to scaled coefficients indicated in the bitstream.

One example method includes performing a conversion between a video including a video picture that includes one or more subpictures and a bitstream of the video. The bitstream conforms to a format rule specifying that a first syntax element indicating whether an operation is performed across a boundary of a subpicture in the coded layer video sequence is selectively included responsive to a number of subpictures in the video picture.

A video processing method is described. The method includes performing a conversion between a video region of a video and a coded representation of the video. The performing of the conversion includes configuring, based on a partition type of the video region, a context model for coding a first bin. The first bin and a second bin are included in a bin string corresponding to an index of a secondary transform tool. The index indicates an applicability of the secondary transform tool and/or a kernel information of the secondary transform tool. The secondary transform tool includes applying, during encoding, a forward secondary transform to an output of a forward primary transform applied to a residual of a video block prior to quantization, or applying, during decoding, an inverse secondary transform to an output of dequantization to the video block before applying an inverse primary transform.

The video picture refers to a picture parameter set, and the picture parameter set conforms to a format rule specifying that the picture parameter set includes a list of column widths for N tile columns, where N is an integer. An (N−1)-th tile column exists in the video picture and the (N−1)-th tile column has a width that is equal to an (N−1)-th entry in a list of explicitly included tile column widths plus one number of coding tree blocks.

The reference picture is indicated by a reference index of a collocated picture of the video slice used for the temporal motion vector prediction.
