Abstract: A video coder determines a plurality of available Matrix Intra Prediction (MIP) parameter sets (MPS's) for a picture of video data. The plurality of available MPS's is a union of (i) a subset of all default MPS's and (ii) a set of additional MPS's that are signaled in the bitstream. Each of the default MPS's is associated with a predefined MIP mode in a codec. Each of the set of additional MPS's is associated with a new MIP mode in a set of new MIP modes. The video decoder uses a MIP mode associated with an MPS in the plurality of available MPS's to generate a prediction block for a current block of the picture.

Abstract: A video coder determines a boundary luma value and derives a chroma value that corresponds to the boundary luma value. The video coder may derive a first prediction model and a second prediction model based on the derived chroma value. The video coder may use the first prediction model to determine a first set of predicted chroma samples of a prediction block for the current block. The first set of predicted chroma samples corresponds to the luma samples of the prediction block that have values less than or equal to the boundary luma value. The video coder may use the second prediction model to determine a second set of predicted chroma samples of the prediction block. The second set of predicted chroma samples corresponds to the luma samples of the prediction block that have values greater than the boundary luma value.

Abstract: Techniques are described for video encoding and decoding with same picture or count numbering for scalability support. One example involves obtaining a portion of a picture (e.g., a slice, a block, or other portion) and determining if weighted prediction is enabled for the portion of the picture. When weighted prediction is enabled, a zero value picture order count offset indicating a reference picture from a reference picture can be used, though different portion of the picture (e.g., different slices of a picture) can have different picture order count offset values. The portion of the picture can then be reconstructed using the reference picture identified by the zero value picture order count offset. Additional embodiments can use weighted prediction flags and different offset value determinations to support scalability or reference pictures in weighted prediction with a different size than the picture being reconstructed.

Abstract: Techniques are described using Position Dependent Intra Prediction Combination (PDPC) and multiple reference lines. For example, a video coder (e.g., an encoder and/or decoder) can predict an initial prediction sample value for a sample of a current block using an intra-prediction mode. The initial prediction sample value can be predicted from a first neighboring block and/or a second neighboring block of the current block. One or more reference sample values can be determined from at least one line of multiple lines of reference samples from the first neighboring block and/or the second neighboring block. At least one of the lines from the multiple lines used for determining the reference sample value(s) is not adjacent to the current block. A final prediction sample value can be determined for the sample of the current block, such as by modifying the initial prediction sample value using the one or more reference sample values.
