Adaptive chroma downsampling and color space conversion techniques
A method of adaptive chroma downsampling is presented. The method comprises converting a source image to a converted image in an output color format, applying a plurality of downsample filters to the converted image and estimating a distortion for each filter chose the filter that produces the minimum distortion. The distortion estimation includes applying an upsample filter, and a pixel is output based on the chosen filter. Methods for closed loop conversions are also presented.

CODING AND DECODING OF AN OMNIDIRECTIONAL VIDEO
A process for coding an image of a view from among a plurality of views, including the following steps: selecting a first or a second coding method to code image data from the image; generating a data signal containing information indicating whether it is the first or the second coding method that has been selected, and, if it is the first coding method, coding the original image data so as to provide coded original data, and, if it is the second coding method, coding processed image data from the image obtained by image processing of the original image data so as to provide coded processed data; and coding information describing the image processing which has been applied.
DIRECTED INTERPOLATION AND DATA POST-PROCESSING
An encoding device evaluates a plurality of processing and/or post-processing algorithms and/or methods to be applied to a video stream, and signals a selected method, algorithm, class or category of methods/algorithms either in an encoded bitstream or as side information related to the encoded bitstream. A decoding device or post-processor utilizes the signaled algorithm or selects an algorithm/method based on the signaled method or algorithm. The selection is based, for example, on availability of the algorithm/method at the decoder/post-processor and/or cost of implementation. The video stream may comprise, for example, downsampled multiplexed stereoscopic images and the selected algorithm may include any of upconversion and/or error correction techniques that contribute to a restoration of the downsampled images.

LOW FREQUENCY NON-SEPARABLE TRANSFORM SIGNALING IN VIDEO CODING
Several techniques for video encoding and video decoding are described. One example method includes performing a conversion between a video block of a video and a bitstream of the video. The video block uses a low frequency non-separable transform for the conversion. The bitstream conforms to a format rule specifying that a syntax element is included at a syntax level for the bitstream. The syntax element is indicative of whether use of a scaling matrix which is derived from a reference scaling list is enabled for the video block. The syntax level is a sequence level, a picture level, or a slice level.
