Techniques are described for video encoding and decoding using reference picture resampling with switchable filters. One example involves obtaining a current picture and a reference picture, identifying filter index information for a current block of the current picture, and determining that a first picture size value of the current picture and a second picture size value of the reference picture are different. Based on the determining that the first picture size value of the current picture and the second picture size value of the reference picture are different, performing a resampling process using a default filter index in place of a current filter index identified by the filter index information. Additional examples can use the current filter index identified by the filter index information in subsequent blocks. In various examples, the current filter index can be derived or signaled.

An inter-prediction method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: deriving motion information of a current block; and generating a prediction block for the current block on the basis of the derived motion information. According to the present invention, computational complexity can be reduced and encoding efficiency can be improved.

An image decoding apparatus obtain pieces of coded data that is included in a bitstream and generated by coding tiles. Tile boundary independence information is further obtained from the bitstream, with the tile boundary independence information indicating whether each of boundaries between the tiles is one of a first boundary or a second boundary. The pieces of coded data are decoded to generate image data of the tiles. Image data of a first tile is generated by decoding a first code string included in first coded data with reference to decoding information of a decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the first boundary, and by decoding the first code string without referring to the decoding information of the decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the second boundary.

An image decoding method according to the present invention includes reconstructing a residual block by inverse-quantizing and inverse-transforming an entropy-decoded residual block, generating a prediction block by performing intra prediction on a current block, and reconstructing an picture by adding the reconstructed residual block to the prediction block, wherein generating the prediction block includes generating a final prediction value of a prediction target pixel included in the current block based on a first prediction value of the prediction target pixel and a final correction value calculated by performing an arithmetic right shift on a two's complementary integer representation for an initial correction value of the prediction target pixel by a binary digit of 1. Accordingly, upon image encoding/decoding, computation complexity may be reduced.

In a teleconferencing method, a first media stream and a second media stream of a teleconference are received, by processing circuitry of a first device, from a second device. The first media stream includes first audio and the second media stream includes second audio. Default weight information is received from the second device. The default weight information indicates a first audio weight for weighting the first audio and a second audio weight for weighting the second audio. The first audio weight for weighting the first audio and the second audio weight for weighting the second audio are determined based on the default weight information. Mixed audio is generated, by the processing circuitry of the first device, by combining a weighted first audio based on the first audio weight applied to the first audio and a weighted second audio based on the second audio weight applied to the second audio.

Methods and apparatus for video processing are described. One example method includes determining, for a conversion between a video block of a video and a bitstream of the video, that the video block satisfies a condition. The video block is coded in the bitstream using an intra block copy mode. The method further includes performing the conversion based on the determining. Here, due to the video block satisfying the condition, a portion of an intra block copy buffer is reset during the conversion.
