A decoder receives, from a bitstream, a first indication of a first bit depth for a sequence of frames, and a second indication of a second bit depth for a block in a frame of the sequence of frames, a residual block of samples of the second bit depth, and a prediction parameter. The decoder determines a first decoded block of samples of the second bit depth based on the second bit depth indicated by the second indication, the residual block of samples, and the prediction parameter. The decoder converts, based on a difference between the first bit depth and the second bit depth, the first decoded block of samples to a second decoded block of samples of the first bit depth based on the first decoded block of samples of the second bit depth and the first indication of the first bit depth for the sequence.

A device may perform local illumination compensation. The device may determine whether local illumination compensation is to be performed for a luma component of a video block. The device may determine a value of a chroma local illumination compensation variable based on local illumination compensation being performed for a luma component of a video block and one or more thresholds. The chroma local illumination compensation variable may indicate whether local illumination compensation is to be performed for a chroma component of the video block.

Systems and methods for performing chroma local illumination compensation derivation based on a quantization parameter in video coding

In some embodiments, a decoder may receive, from a bit stream, a residual of a block and an indication that the residual was determined based on a refined partition edge.

The decoder may determine a reconstruction for the block based on the residual and the prediction of the block.

Geometric partitioning refinement

An apparatus determines a value of a coordinate of a sample is outside a range of values of the coordinate for samples in an intra block copy (IBC) reference region. The sample is displaced from a current block by an amount indicated by a candidate block vector predictor (BVP). Based on determining the value of the coordinate of the sample is outside the range of value of the coordinate for the samples in the IBC reference region, the apparatus adjusts a component of the candidate BVP to generate an adjusted candidate BVP. The apparatus constructs a list of candidate BVPs comprising the adjusted candidate BVP. The apparatus derives costs for the candidate BVPs in the list. The apparatus reorders the candidate BVPs in the list based on the costs.

An apparatus determines a value of a coordinate for a sample is outside a range of values of the coordinate for samples in a reference region. The sample is displaced relative to a current block by an amount indicated by a block vector predictor (BVP). The apparatus adjusts a component, corresponding to a direction of the coordinate, of the BVP to have an adjusted value closer to the range of values of the coordinate for the samples in the reference region based on the determining. The apparatus uses the BVP, with the component adjusted to have the adjusted value, to determine or predict a block vector (BV) for the current block.

Encoding and/or decoding a block of a video frame may be based on a previously decoded reference block in the same frame or in a different frame. The reference block may be indicated by a block vector (BV). The BV may be encoded as difference between a block vector predictor (BVP) and the BV. The BVP may be adjusted to improve prediction accuracy of the BVP.
