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.

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.

An apparatus (for example, a decoder) may determine that affine mode is enabled for a video sequence. The apparatus may determine whether an affine mode adaptive motion vector difference resolution (AMVR) enablement indicator is present in a parameter set associated with the video sequence based on a value of an AMVR enablement indicator. If the value of the AMVR enablement indicator indicates AMVR mode is enabled for the video sequence, the apparatus may determine that the affine mode AMVR enablement indicator is present in the parameter set associated with the video sequence. If the value of the AMVR enablement indicator indicates AMVR mode is disabled for the video sequence, the apparatus may determine that the affine mode AMVR enablement indicator is not present in the parameter set associated with the video sequence. The apparatus may decode the video sequence accordingly.

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.
