An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus for performing encoding/decoding using BDPCM and a storage medium storing a bitstream are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may comprise obtaining first information indicating whether block-based differential pulse coded modulation (BDPCM) is applicable to a current image, obtaining second information indicating whether to apply the BDPCM to a current block in the current image based on the first information, obtaining third information indicating a prediction direction of the BDPCM based on the second information, and applying the BDPCM to the current block based on the prediction direction of the BDPCM. The first information may indicate whether BDPCM is enabled for both a luma component and a chroma component of the current block.

A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video block of a video and a bitstream of the video according to a rule. The rule specifies whether or how usage of a secondary transform within a video unit is indicated in the bitstream. The secondary transform is applied before quantization or after de-quantization.

A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video comprising a video unit and a bitstream of the video according to a rule. The rule specifies whether or how to include, in an adaptation parameter set (APS), information related to a scaling list of the video is based on a first syntax element. The first syntax element indicates whether the APS includes chroma component related syntax elements and is independent of one or more syntax elements in a sequence parameter set (SPS).

A video processing method includes checking, during a conversion from a coded representation of a current video block to the current video block, a position of a last non-zero coefficient of the current video block, wherein the position is relative to a top-left position of the current video block; and performing a determination, based on the position, whether or not to parse a syntax element which signals a transform information in the coded representation.

Residual coding using vector quantization (VQ) is described. A flag indicating whether a residual block for the current block is encoded using VQ. In response to the flag indicating that the residual block is encoded using VQ, a parameter indicating an entry in a codebook is decoded, and the residual block is decoded using the entry. In response to the flag indicating that the residual block is not encoded using VQ, the residual block is decoded based on a skip flag indicating whether the current block is encoded using transform skip. The current block is reconstructed using the residual block.

Image data depicting a 2D machine-readable code is up-sampled and compressed with a lossy compression process before being sent from a client device to a remote server for code reading. The remote server decompresses the sent information, extracts a payload from the machine-readable code, and causes result information to be sent back to the client device for display or other action. The up-sampling and compression operations performed on the client device can employ software instructions that are downloaded to, and executed by, browser software on the client device. Many other features and arrangements are also detailed.

A method and a device for encoding/decoding images are disclosed. The method for encoding images comprises the steps of: deriving a scan type of a residual signal for a current block according to whether or not the current block is a transform skip block; and applying the scan type to the residual signal for the current block, wherein the transform skip block is a block to which transform for the current block is not applied and is specified on the basis of information indicating whether or not transform for the current block is to be applied.
