Abstract: A coding apparatus configured to select an intra prediction mode for a current block, encode the selected intra prediction mode using truncated binary coding every time the selected intra prediction mode is a remaining mode, and encode the selected intra prediction mode using N bits when the selected intra prediction mode is included in a first portion from remaining modes and using N+1 bits when the selected intra prediction mode is included in a second portion of the remaining modes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to motion vector determination using template or bilateral matching and predictor generation based on the motion vector. The template or bilateral matching and/or the predictor generation use interpolation filtering. The interpolation filtering operation accesses integer sample positions within a window, and further uses padded sample values for integer sample positions outside the window, which are based on at least one sample within said window, and uses the accessed integer sample position values as well as the padded sample values to perform the template or bilateral matching and/or predictor generation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method determining a motion vector for a block, which relates to motion vector determination employing template matching or bilateral matching, are provided. At first, candidate motion vectors are obtained and are mapped to respective representatives (representative motion vectors). In particular, if the obtained candidate motion vectors point to fractional positions and thus, interpolation from the integer sample positions is required, the initial motion vector is rounded to a closest integer sample position. The rounded position is then used to define the search space for the template or bilateral matching to determine the best matching motion vector for the block (in other words, a refinement of an initial motion vector around which the candidate space is spanned). Finally, the mapping operation can be reverted in order to obtain a result in the original search space.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to adaptive filtering, e.g. adaptive loop filtering, which may be used during encoding and decoding of video pictures. In particular, the present disclosure provides for determining a zero coefficients map, in which each bit indicates whether or not a respective filter coefficient of a supporting region is to be included into the bitstream for an adaptive filter. An indication of the zero coefficients map is included into the bitstream before at least one filter coefficient of the adaptive filter indicated by the zero coefficients map as to be included into the bitstream. The provision of a zero coefficients map enables an efficient signaling and allows for flexible filter shapes that are particularly suitable for the content at hand.
