Devices and methods of intra prediction of a block of a picture are provided. In various embodiments, information indicating an Intra Sub-Partitions (ISP) split type can be obtained. A value of a filter flag can be set based on the ISP split type. For instance, the value of the filter flag can be set to 0 when the ISP split type does not indicate not to split a current block. A set of coefficients of an interpolation filter can then be selected according to the value of the filter flag. For instance, fG coefficients or fC coefficients can be selected based on the value of the filter flag. Still in those embodiment, the selected set of coefficients can be applied to reference samples. In some embodiments, the method removes mode dependency during selection of interpolation filter type. This could increase encoding or decoding efficiency.

A method for intra prediction of a video block, comprising: padding of luminance reference samples rows for a chroma component of a current block vertically aligned with a largest coding unit (LCU) boundary; applying a filter F to reconstructed luma samples of a luma component of the current block and to luma samples in selected position neighboring to the current block, to obtain filtered reconstructed luma samples, wherein a shape of the F is same for blocks in the LCU; obtaining linear model coefficients, based on the filtered reconstructed luma samples; and performing cross-component prediction based on the obtained linear model coefficients and the filtered reconstructed luma samples of the current block, to obtain a prediction value of the chroma component of the current block.

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.

A picture may be divided into sub-pictures/slices/tiles. For example, the picture may be divided into sub-picture(s), and subpicture-related information may be used for coding. The sub-picture-related information may be generated by an encoding device and transmitted to a decoding device. According to embodiments of the present document, sub-picture-related information can be efficiently signaled.

Methods of encoding and decoding video data are provided. In an encoding method, source video data comprising one or more source views is encoded into a video bitstream. Depth data of at least one of the source views is nonlinearly filtered and downsampled prior to encoding. After decoding, the decoded depth data is up-sampled and nonlinearly filtered.

The invention relates to a method and a device for decoding an image by means of a partition unit comprising an additional region. The method of decoding an image by means of a partition unit comprising an additional region comprises the steps of: partitioning, by reference to a syntax element acquired from a received bit stream, an encoded image, which is included in the bitstream, in at least one partition unit; define an additional region for at least one partition unit; and decoding the encoded image based on the partition unit for which the additional region is defined. The invention improves the image coding efficiency.
