[Problem] In order to improve the likelihood of being able to continue delivery even during degradation of communication quality and improve the efficiency of use of the capability of a transmission path, even with hierarchical encoding having a small number of hierarchies, the present invention comprises: measuring the communication quality of the transmission path with a data receiving device; determining a hierarchical structure of hierarchical data on the basis of the results of measuring the communication quality; generating the hierarchical data of the hierarchical structure by hierarchical encoding of input data; and delivering delivery data of at least some hierarchies of the hierarchical data to the data receiving device.

There is provided a method for processing an input signal (700). The input signal (700) is processed at least by converting the input signal (700) from a first colour space to a second colour space, to produce a first processed signal. The processed signal is encoded by a first encoding module (703) to generate a first encoded signal (710). A decoded signal is generated by decoding the first encoded signal (710). The decoded signal is processed at least by converting the decoded signal from the second colour space to the first colour space to produce a second processed signal. The second processed signal and the input signal (700) are processed by a second encoding module (707) to generate a second encoded signal (720).

A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video block of a video and a coded representation of the video, wherein the coded representation conforms to a format rule, wherein the format rule specifies that applicability of a transform skip mode to the video block is determined by a coding condition of the video block, wherein the format rule specifies that a syntax element indicative of applicability of the transform skip mode is omitted from the coded representation, and wherein the transform skip mode includes, skipping applying a forward transform to at least some coefficients prior to encoding into the coded representation, or during decoding, skipping applying an inverse transform to at least some coefficients prior to decoding from the coded representation.

Concepts are described, including encoding, processing and decoding of a data stream having a video encoded thereinto, wherein the video comprises a plurality of pictures, wherein the data stream comprises a plurality of pictures in at least two layers, wherein the pictures of at least one layer are split into a predetermined layer-specific number of subpictures, one or more of the pictures or subpictures of one layer corresponds to one picture or subpictures in one or more other layer, and at least one of the subpictures comprises boundaries for boundary extension for motion compensation, and an indication that at least one of the boundaries of corresponding subpictures or corresponding pictures in different layers are aligned with each other.

Disclosed is a method for decoding a current block in a current picture included in a high-level layer performed based on a reference picture included in a low-level layer and having a different resolution. A prediction mode for the current block, a decoded residual signal, and decoding information for the current block, are obtained. When the prediction mode is the inter-prediction, a prediction signal for the current block is generated based on the decoding information. A reconstructed block is then generated by adding the prediction signal to the residual signal. Filtering is then performed for correcting the different resolution that is applied to a reference block included in the reference picture such that the different resolution matches a resolution of the current block.

A dividing section of a server divides, along a common boundary, a plurality of images that are formed by an image forming section and correspond to respective frames of a moving image, to form image blocks. A first coding section compression-codes one of the plurality of images in units of the image block. A second coding section compression-codes another one of the plurality of images in units of the image block, using data compression-coded by the first coding section. A communication section transmits data of the compression-coded image blocks to an image processing apparatus.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for processing of three-dimensional visual content are described. One example method of processing three-dimensional content includes parsing a level of detail (LoD) information of a bitstream containing three-dimensional (3D) content that is represented as one geometry sub-bitstream and one or more attribute sub-bitstreams; and generating, based on the LoD information, decoded information by decoding at least a portion of the geometry sub-bitstream and the one or more attribute sub-bitstreams corresponding to a desired level of detail; and reconstructing, using the decoded information, a three-dimensional scene corresponding at least to the desired level of detail. The bitstream conforms to a format organized according to multiple levels of details of the 3D content.
