Abstract: During video encoding or decoding, cross-component prediction can be used to predict a chroma sample from collocated reconstructed luma samples.

Abstract: Systems, methods and instrumentalities are disclosed for adaptively selecting an adaptive loop filter (ALF) procedure for a frame based on which temporal layer the frame is in. ALF procedures may vary in computational complexity. One or more frames including the current frame may be in a temporal layer of a coding scheme. The decoder may determine the current frame's temporal layer level within the coding scheme. The decoder may select an ALF procedure based on the current frame's temporal layer level. If the current frame's temporal layer level is higher within the coding scheme than some other temporal layer levels, an ALF procedure that is less computationally complex may be selected for the current frame. Then the decoder may perform the selected ALF procedure on the current frame.
