  • Publication number: 20250063155
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for inter prediction in video coding system are disclosed. According to the method, input data associated with a current block comprising at least one colour block are received. A blending predictor is determined according to a weighted sum of at least two candidate predictions generated based on one or more first hypotheses of prediction, one or more second hypotheses of prediction, or both. The first hypotheses of prediction are generated based on one or more intra prediction modes comprising a DC mode, a planar mode or at least one angular modes. The second hypotheses of prediction are generated based on one or more cross-component modes and a collocated block of said at least one colour block. The input data associated with the colour block is encoded or decoded using the blending predictor.

  • Publication number: 20250056008
    Abstract: A video coding system that uses multiple models to predict chroma samples is provided. The video coding system receives data for a block of pixels to be encoded or decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video. The system constructs two or more chroma prediction models based on luma and chroma samples neighboring the current block. The system applies the two or more chroma prediction models to incoming or reconstructed luma samples of the current block to produce two or more model predictions. The system computes predicted chroma samples by combining the two or more model predictions. The system uses the predicted chroma samples to reconstruct chroma samples of the current block or to encode the current block.

  • Publication number: 20250039356
    Abstract: A video coding system that uses multiple models to predict chroma samples is provided. The video coding system receives data for a block of pixels to be encoded or decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video. The video coding system derives multiple prediction linear models based on luma and chroma samples neighboring the current block. The video coding system constructs a composite linear model based on the multiple prediction linear models. The video coding system applies the composite linear model to incoming or reconstructed luma samples of the current block to generate a chroma predictor of the current block. The video coding system uses the chroma predictor to reconstruct chroma samples of the current block or to encode the current block.

  • Publication number: 20250024072
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for video coding system that uses intra prediction based on cross-colour linear model are disclosed. According to the method, model parameters for a first-colour predictor model are determined and the first-colour predictor model provides a predicted first-colour pixel value according to a combination of at least two corresponding reconstructed second-colour pixel values. According to another method, the first-colour predictor model provides a predicted first-colour pixel value based on a second degree model or higher of one or more corresponding reconstructed second-colour pixel values. First-colour predictors for the current first-colour block are determined according to the first-colour prediction model. The input data are then encoded at the encoder side or decoded at the decoder side using the first-colour predictors.
