Methods for decoding of a video bitstream by a video decoding circuit are provided. In one implementation, a method receives coded data for a 2N×2N coding unit (CU) from the video bitstream, selects one or more first codewords according to whether asymmetric motion partition is disabled or enabled when a size of said 2N×2N CU is not equal to a smallest CU size, wherein none of the first codewords corresponds to INTER N×N partition, selects one or more second codewords when the size of said 2N×2N CU is equal to the smallest CU size, wherein none of the second codewords corresponds to the INTER N×N partition when N is 4, determines a CU structure for said 2N×2N CU from the video bitstream using said one or more first codewords or said one or more second codewords, and decodes the video bitstream using the CU structure.

An example method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a video picture of a video and a bitstream representation of the video. The bitstream representation conforms to a format rule. The format rule specifies that applicability of a Decoder-side Motion Vector Refinement coding tool and a Bi-Directional Optical Flow coding tool for the video picture are indicated separately in the bitstream representation.

An image decoding method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: referring to a first flag for indicating whether intra block-based delta pulse code modulation (BDPCM) signaled through a sequence parameter set is permitted, so as to determine whether a second flag for indicating whether the intra BDPCM is applied to a current block is parsed; determining whether the intra BDPCM is applied to the current block on the basis of the second flag; determining an intra BDPCM mode of the current block when it is determined that the intra BDPCM is applied to the current block; and acquiring a residual sample of the current block on the basis of the intra BDPCM mode.

Methods and systems are described for processing an image captured with an image sensor, such as a camera. In one embodiment, an estimated ambient light level of the captured image is determined and used to compute an optical-optical transfer function (OOTF) that is used to correct the image to preserve an apparent contrast of the image under the estimated ambient light level in a viewing environment. The estimated ambient light level is determined by scaling pixel values from the image sensor using a function that includes exposure parameters and a camera specific parameter derived from a camera calibration.

Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein involve combining images to generate a wide view image of a surrounding environment. Images can be recorded using an stand-alone imaging device having wide angle lenses and/or normal lenses. Images from the imaging device can be combined using methods described herein. In an embodiment, a pixel correspondence between a first image and a second image can be determined, based on a corresponding overlap area associated with the first image and the second image. Corresponding pixels in the corresponding overlap area associated with the first image and the second image can be merged based on a weight assigned to each of the corresponding pixels.
