  • Patent number: 11973969
    Abstract: At least a method and an apparatus are presented for efficiently encoding or decoding video. For example, for a block being encoded, a set of predictor candidates is determined. For a current potential predictor candidate in a set of potential predictor candidates, it is determined that the current potential predictor candidate is different from any predictor candidate in a subset of predictor candidates from the set of predictor candidates and in response the current potential predictor candidate is added to the set of predictor candidates. Thus, the set of predictor candidates is pruned with partial comparison in the set. The block is encoded or decoded based on a predictor candidate from pruned set of predictor candidates.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. In some embodiments, processing circuitry decodes, prediction information for a block in an I slice from a coded video bitstream, and determines, whether an intra block copy (IBC) mode is possible for the block in the I slice. In response to a slice type parameter indicating I slice and at least a width or height of the block being greater than 64, the processing circuitry sets a current mode type parameter to MODE_TYPE_INTRA. Further, in an embodiment, the processing circuitry decodes a flag that indicates whether a skip mode is applied on the block from the coded video bitstream. Then, the processing circuitry reconstructs the block at least partially based on the flag.
