20230049154 · 2023-02-16 · ·

Flag information associated with the current block is obtained in coded information, which indicates whether the current block is intra predicted based at least in part on an intra mode derivation. In response to the flag information being true, a plurality of candidate intra modes is determined based on neighboring samples of the current block. A first intra mode of the current block is determined based on a first syntax element that is included in the coded information. The first syntax element indicates the first intra mode of the current block from a most probable mode (MPM) list and a MPM remainder. A second intra mode of the current block is determined based on the first intra mode and the plurality of candidate intra modes. The current block is reconstructed based on the first intra mode and the second intra mode.

20230050410 · 2023-02-16 ·

A method for decoding a data stream representative of an image split into blocks. For a current block of the image, an item of information indicating a coding mode among a first and a second coding mode of the current block is decoded from the data stream and the current block is decoded depending on this information. When the coding mode of the current block corresponds to the second coding mode, the current block is reconstructed from a prediction obtained, for each pixel, from another previously decoded pixel belonging to the current block or to a previously decoded block of the image, and from a decoded residue associated with the pixel. At least one processing method is applied to the reconstructed current block for at least one pixel of the current block depending on the coding mode of the current block and/or the coding mode of the neighbouring blocks.

Techniques for decoding or coding images based on multiple intra-prediction modes
11582460 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for derive one or more intra prediction modes (IPMs) from a subset of IPM candidates in order to determine a predictor to use for decoding a block of an image. In some aspects, the subset of IPM candidates may include IPMs that are less than the number of IPMs in a full set of all available IPM candidates (e.g., 67 IPMs in VVC or 35 in HEVC). In some aspects, the subset of IPM candidates may be based on a most probable mode (MPM) list that can be used to determine or signal an IPM based on IPMs previously used in decoding other blocks.

Encoder, decoder, encoding method, and decoding method

A decoder comprises circuitry and memory. The circuitry, using the memory, in operation, determines a number of first pixels and a number of second pixels used in a deblocking filter process, wherein the first pixels are located at an upper side of a block boundary and the second pixels are located at a lower side of the block boundary, and performs the deblocking filter process on the block boundary. The number of the first pixels and the number of the second pixels are selected from among candidates, wherein the candidates include at least 4 and M larger than 4. Response to a location of the block boundary being a predetermined location, the number of the first pixels used in the deblocking filter process is limited to be 4.
