Publication number: 20250039356Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2022Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Chia-Ming TSAI, Chun-Chia CHEN, Yu-Ling HSIAO, Man-Shu CHIANG, Chih-Wei HSU, Olena CHUBACH, Tzu-Der CHUANG, Ching-Yeh CHEN, Yu-Wen HUANG

Publication number: 20250024072Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Olena CHUBACH, Ching-Yeh CHEN, Tzu-Der CHUANG, Chun-Chia CHEN, Man-Shu CHIANG, Chia-Ming TSAI, Yu-Ling HSIAO, Chih-Wei HSU, Yu-Wen HUANG
