The present application disclose a picture processing method and apparatus, which are applicable to a video picture processing scenario. The method includes: obtaining at least two transform coefficient blocks, where each of the at least two transform coefficient blocks includes at least two transform coefficients that correspond to different frequency points; determining, according to a preset frequency point scanning order, the transform coefficients that are in the at least two transform coefficient blocks and that correspond to a selected frequency point; and encoding, according to a preset coefficient scanning order, each transform coefficient corresponding to the selected frequency point, to obtain picture encoded information.

A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video comprising a video unit and a bitstream of the video according to a rule. The rule specifies whether or how to include, in an adaptation parameter set (APS), information related to a scaling list of the video is based on a first syntax element. The first syntax element indicates whether the APS includes chroma component related syntax elements and is independent of one or more syntax elements in a sequence parameter set (SPS).

A video processing method includes checking, during a conversion from a coded representation of a current video block to the current video block, a position of a last non-zero coefficient of the current video block, wherein the position is relative to a top-left position of the current video block; and performing a determination, based on the position, whether or not to parse a syntax element which signals a transform information in the coded representation.

Residual coding using vector quantization (VQ) is described. A flag indicating whether a residual block for the current block is encoded using VQ. In response to the flag indicating that the residual block is encoded using VQ, a parameter indicating an entry in a codebook is decoded, and the residual block is decoded using the entry. In response to the flag indicating that the residual block is not encoded using VQ, the residual block is decoded based on a skip flag indicating whether the current block is encoded using transform skip. The current block is reconstructed using the residual block.
