Encoding or decoding picture information can involve determining a coding mode associated with a current coding unit including picture information; determining, based on the coding mode, a first precision level associated with a first portion of a motion vector information associated with the current coding unit, and a second precision level associated with a second portion of the motion vector information; obtaining a motion vector associated with the current coding unit based on the motion vector information and the first and second precision levels; and encoding or decoding at least a portion of the picture information included in the current coding unit based on the coding mode and the motion vector.

Motion vector processing for video encoding and decoding

When dependent scalar quantization is used, the choice of the quantizer depends on the decoding of the preceding transform coefficient, and the entropy decoding of a transform coefficient depends on quantizer choice. To maintain high throughput in hardware implementations for transform coefficient entropy coding, several decision schemes of the scaler quantizer are proposed. In one implementation, the state transition and the context model selection are based on only regular coded bins. For example, the state transition can be based on the sum of the SIG, gt1 and gt2 flags, the exclusive-or function of the SIG, gt1 and gt2 flags, or based on only the gt1 or gt2 flag. When a block of transform coefficients is coded, the regular mode bins can be coded first in one or more scan passes, and the remaining bypass coded bins are grouped together in another one or more scan passes.

Template matching prediction is combined with additional coding tools to provide a robust set of coding/decoding tools by advantageous use of syntax elements. Some of the additional coding tools comprise matrix intra prediction, intra sub-partitioning, low frequency non-separable transform, multiple transform selection.

Methods and apparatuses for video encoding and video decoding

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for encoding and decoding video data. Techniques are disclosed for encoding a video block, including dividing the video block into coding units and grouping the coding units into at least one group, the grouping comprises associating an indication with each of the coding units that indicates whether a shared coding information is to be used in the encoding of the respective coding unit. Techniques are also disclosed for decoding the video block, including obtaining from a bitstream the coding units and their respective indications. For a coding unit that is associated with an indication that the shared coding information is to be used, the decoding is performed based on the shared coding information; otherwise, the decoding is performed based on coding information parsed from the bitstream.

Methods and apparatus for implementing Discrete Trigonometric transforms are based on maximum transform size. In one embodiment, matrix-based intra prediction is enabled for coding unit sizes up to a specified size, regardless of the maximum transform size. In another embodiment, low-frequency non-separable transforms are used to improve coding gain. Syntax in a bitstream can be used to indicate a coding tool that is used.

Transform size interactions with coding tools

A video coding system uses a value of a chroma quantization parameter table to quantize or de-quantize chroma values of a block of the video, the chroma quantization parameter table being directly coded in a set of parameters at the picture level or at the sequence level of the coded video stream. A corresponding encoding method, encoding device, decoding method, decoding device, and non-transitory readable medium are proposed.

A method and apparatus to improve compression efficiency in a video compression scheme enables use of switchable interpolation filters. The interpolation filters are used on multiple partitions of video blocks, enabling better motion compensated prediction and improved video coding efficiency. In one embodiment, an interpolation filter index is derived for triangle partitions of a block from motion information candidate parameters, so that each unidirectional motion compensation can use a different value of interpolation filter index. In another embodiment, an interpolation filter index is a function of characteristics, such as shape or area, of video partitions.

Switchable interpolation filters

An encoding method is presented. Transform coefficients of a block are first obtained. They are then scanned according to a scan pattern for entropy coding. The scan pattern is determined responsive to a shape of the block.

Method and device for picture encoding and decoding

Different implementations are described, particularly implementations for determining a set of predictor candidates for affine merge coding mode from neighboring blocks for motion compensation of a picture block based on a motion model. The motion model, may be, e.g., an affine model in a merge mode or AMVP mode for a video content encoder or decoder. The motion model, may be, e.g., an affine model based on top-left/top-right control point motion vectors or an affine model based on top-left/bottom-left control point motion vectors. Such affine model may be signaled by a flag. In an embodiment, predictor candidates are sorted in the set based on a criterion such as, e.g., a validity check or a vectors coherence cost. In an embodiment, a predictor candidate is selected from the set based on a motion model for each of the multiple predictor candidates, and may be based on a criterion such as, e.g., a rate distortion cost. The corresponding motion field is determined based on, e.g., one or more corresponding control point motion vectors for the block being encoded or decoded. The corresponding motion field of an embodiment identifies motion vectors used for prediction of sub-blocks of the block being encoded or decoded.
