An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method according to the present disclosure may comprise generating a prediction block by performing intra prediction with respect to a current block, generating a residual block by performing inverse transform with respect to a transform coefficient of the current block, and reconstructing the current block based on the prediction block and the residual block. The inverse transform may comprise inverse primary transform and inverse secondary transform, and the inverse secondary transform may be performed based on whether intra prediction for the current block is matrix based intra prediction (MIP).

A method of video decoding performed in a video decoder includes determining whether a first block associated with a second block is coded with a block differential pulse code modulation (BDPCM) mode. The method further includes, in response to determining that the first block is coded with the BDPCM mode, associating the first block with an intra prediction mode value based on a BDPCM directional flag. The method further includes determining an inter prediction mode value for the second block using the intra prediction mode value associated with the first block.

The present invention relates to block merging according to block split among video coding techniques, and a method and an apparatus for coding and decoding a video, in which in generating and modifying a block merging list, spatial merging candidate blocks of the block merging list are changed according to a split type and order of a current coding unit.

The present disclosure relates to encoding and decoding video by employing texture coding. In particular, a texture region is identified within a video picture and a texture patch is determined for the texture region. Moreover, a first set of parameters is derived specifying weighting factors for reconstructing spectral coefficients of the texture region by fitting the texture region in a spectral domain to a first function of the texture patch, the first function being defined by the first set of parameters. The texture patch and the first set of parameters are then included into a bitstream which is output by an encoder and provided in this way to the decoder which reconstructs the texture based on the patch and the function applied to the patch.

An apparatus for block-wise decoding a picture from a data stream and/or encoding a picture into a data stream, the apparatus supporting at least one intra-prediction mode according to which the intra-prediction signal for a block of a predetermined size of the picture is determined by applying a first template of samples which neighbours the current block onto a neural network. The apparatus may be configured, for a current block differing from the predetermined size, to: resample a second template of samples neighboring the current block, so as to conform with the first template so as to obtain a resampled template ; apply the resampled template of samples onto the neural network so as to obtain a preliminary intra-prediction signal; and resample the preliminary intra-prediction signal so as to conform with the current block so as to obtain the intra-prediction signal for the current block.

The present invention provides methods and formulations for treating or preventing bacterial infection in the lungs of a subject, including for controlling P. aeruginosa infection and/or colonization in the lungs of a patient having a chronic lung condition, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (non-CFBE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), among others. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods and formulations for treating mycobacterial infection.

An encoder and a decoder respectively encode and decode signal and syntax elements to/from a bitstream. In the encoding/decoding, semantics for the syntax elements are derived in accordance with previously decoded signal samples. Such encoding/decoding is applicable for instance to a video or audio signal.

An exemplary method for visual media processing includes: for encoding a current video block in a video region of a visual media data into a bitstream representation of the visual media data, identifying usage of a coding mode and/or an intra prediction mode and/or a set of allowable intra prediction modes; and upon identifying the usage, making a decision of whether to include or exclude, in the bitstream representation, a syntax element indicative of selectively applying a transform skip mode to the current video block, wherein, in the transform skip mode, a residual of a prediction error between the current video block and a reference video block is represented in the bitstream representation of the visual media data without applying a transformation.

A video decoding method according to the present invention may comprise: a step for determining whether to divide a current block into a plurality of sub-blocks; a step for determining an intra prediction mode for the current block; and a step for performing intra prediction for each sub-block on the basis of the intra prediction mode, when the current block is divided into the plurality of sub-blocks.
