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 the refined partition edge based on the indication and reference samples neighboring the block. The decoder may determine based on at least one prediction mode, a prediction for two parts of the block defined by the 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.

Adaptive reordering of adjusted block vector predictor candidates

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.

Block vector predictor refinement based on reference region boundary

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.

Video compression using block vector predictor refinement

A decoder receives, in a bitstream, an indication of a block vector predictor (BVP) and a first and a second component magnitude of a block vector difference (BVD). The decoder determines each of a plurality of BV candidates based on a sum of the BVP and a different one of a plurality of BVD candidates. Each of the plurality of BVD candidates comprises: the first and second component magnitudes; and a different combination of signs for the first and second component magnitudes. The decoder determines a sign for at least one of the first and second component magnitudes of the BVD based on validities of the plurality of BV candidates.

Block vector difference signaling for intra block copy

A decoder may generate a reconstruction of a luma block based on a prediction of the luma block and a residual of the luma block. The decoder may generate, at one or more hidden layers, a score distribution. The decoder may generate the score distribution based on the reconstruction of the luma block and one or more coding parameters of the luma block. The decoder may generate, at an output layer and based on the score distribution, a prediction of a chroma block corresponding to the luma block. The decoder may determine a reconstruction of the chroma block based on the prediction of the chroma block and a residual of the chroma block.

Chroma prediction from luma for video coding

A decoder may generate, for each of a plurality of intra prediction modes determined based on a most probable mode (MPM) list for intra prediction of a block, a prediction of at least one neighboring region of the block. The decoder may determine, based on the predictions of the at least one neighboring region, a first intra prediction mode from the plurality of intra prediction modes. The decoder may decode a second intra prediction mode, that is different from the first intra prediction mode, for the block based on the first intra prediction mode and signaling information in a video bitstream.

Intra prediction

A decoder may generate, for each of a plurality of displacement vectors, a prediction of a neighboring region of a block. The decoder may determine, based on the predictions of the neighboring region of the block, a first displacement vector from the plurality of displacement vectors for the neighboring region. The decoder may generate, based on a first predictor candidate list and the first displacement vector, a second predictor candidate list. The decoder may decode a second displacement vector based on: the second predictor candidate list; and signaling information, in a video bitstream, for the block.

Decoder side displacement vector prediction

An apparatus calculates a block vector difference (BVD) between a block vector (BV) and a block vector predictor (BVP). The apparatus determines each of a plurality of BV candidates based on a sum of the BVP and a different one of a plurality of BVD candidates. Each of the plurality of BVD candidates comprises: a first and a second component magnitude of the BVD; and a different combination of signs for the first and second component magnitudes. The apparatus determines validities of the plurality of BV candidates based on values of samples, stored in a reference memory, of reference blocks indicated by the plurality of BV candidates.
