Bias value determination for chroma-for-luma (cfl) mode

Abstract

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for coding video. In one aspect, a video bitstream includes distinct coding blocks of a current image frame and signals a cross-component intra prediction mode. A method includes for each distinct coding block, identifying a chroma component, a luma sample co-located with the chroma component, and neighboring luma samples of the luma sample. The method includes deriving a respective bias value based on a set of luma samples within a reference area of the respective coding block, which includes one or more coding blocks that are adjacent to, and decoded prior to, the respective coding block in the current image frame. The method further includes combining the luma sample, the neighboring luma samples, and the respective bias value to generate the chroma component and reconstructing the distinct coding blocks including the chroma component of each distinct coding block.
