Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for the simplification of sub-block motion candidate lists for video coding are described. In a representative aspect, a method for video processing includes determining, during a conversion between a current block of a video and a bitstream representation of the video, a temporal motion vector prediction candidate based on a temporal neighboring block of the current block. The temporal neighboring block is identified based on motion information of a spatial neighboring block selected from one or more spatial neighboring blocks that are different from at least one spatial neighboring block used in a merge list construction process of a video block. The method also includes performing the conversion based on the temporal motion vector prediction candidate.

Abstract: Video processing methods and apparatuses for coding a current block generate a final predictor by combining multiple predictors for the current block. A first predictor and a second predictor for the current block are generated by applying one or a combination of settings to the first, second, or both predictors. One or both the first and second predictors are generated from motion compensation. The final predictor is derived from the first and second predictors, and the current block is encoded or decoded according to the final predictor. The settings include supported-mode setting, combined-weight setting, applied-portion setting, motion information setting, precision setting, or a combination of the above settings.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, apparatus or systems for encoding and decoding sequence of images by applying a global rotation motion compensation to an input image. According to different embodiments, the input image is a reference image in a compression loop or the image to be encoded. The images to encode are omnidirectional images. As a result, applying a global rotation motion compensation to them corresponds to generate new images as if they have been captured according to a different front direction. When this new front direction is the one of a reference image, the compensation of apparent motion is facilitated.

Abstract: A decoder may receive, for a block and from a bit stream, an indication of a decoder-side affine transform, a prediction mode, and a residual block. The decoder may generate a compensated prediction of the block. For example, the decoder may generate the compensated prediction of the block based on the residual block and the prediction mode. The decoder may generate, based on the indication and for each of a plurality of affine transform parameters, an affine transformation of the compensated prediction. The decoder may determine an affine transform parameter, from the plurality of affine transform parameters, based on a visual quality of each of the affine transformations of the compensated prediction.

Abstract: A video decoding method includes parsing a bitstream to obtain a split mode to transform units (TUs) in a current coding unit (CU). Each of the TUs has a serial number in a one-to-one correspondence with positions of the TUs in the current CU. A transform coefficient of a luminance transform block of a current TU in the TUs is obtained. A transform type of the luminance transform block of the current TU is obtained based on the split mode and a serial number of the current TU. An inverse transform on the transform coefficient of the luminance transform block of the current TU is performed based on the transform type of the luminance transform block of the current TU to obtain a reconstructed residual of the luminance transform block of the current TU. A reconstructed block of the current CU is obtained based on the reconstructed residual.
