Publication number: 20220159273Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry encodes subpicture information in which a horizontal position and a vertical position of a region of a subpicture are represented in a unit of a coding tree unit (CTU). The subpicture is a rectangular region in a picture. The horizontal position is represented by a first position of a first CTU in the subpicture, the first position being relative to a left end of the picture. The vertical position is represented by a second position of a second CTU in the subpicture, the second position being relative to a top end of the picture.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Jing Ya LI, Chong Soon LIM, Han Boon TEO, Che Wei KUO, Hai Wei SUN, Chu Tong WANG, Kiyofumi ABE, Takahiro NISHI, Tadamasa TOMA, Yusuke KATO

Publication number: 20220159308Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in operation, generates a first coefficient value by applying a CCALF (cross component adaptive loop filtering) process to a first reconstructed image sample of a luma component, and generates a second coefficient value by applying an ALF (adaptive loop filtering) process to a second reconstructed image sample of a chroma component. The circuitry modifies the first coefficient value by performing an arithmetic right shift by 7 bits on the first coefficient value. The circuitry generates a third coefficient value by adding the modified first coefficient value to the second coefficient value, and encodes a third reconstructed image sample of the chroma component using the third coefficient value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Jing Ya LI, Chong Soon LIM, Han Boon TEO, Hai Wei SUN, Che-Wei KUO, Chu Tong WANG, Tadamasa TOMA, Takahiro NISHI, Kiyofumi ABE, Yusuke KATO

Publication number: 20220159307Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in response to a first reconstructed image sample being located outside a virtual boundary, duplicates a reconstructed sample located inside and adjacent to the virtual boundary to generate the first reconstructed image sample. The circuitry generates a first coefficient value by applying a CCALF (cross component adaptive loop filtering) process to the first reconstructed image sample of a luma component. The circuitry generates a second coefficient value by applying an ALF (adaptive loop filtering) process to a second reconstructed image sample of a chroma component. The circuitry generates a third coefficient value by adding the first coefficient value to the second coefficient value, and encodes a third reconstructed image sample of the chroma component using the third coefficient value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Chu Tong WANG, Chong Soon LIM, Han Boon TEO, Hai Wei SUN, Jing Ya LI, Che-Wei KUO, Tadamasa TOMA, Takahiro NISHI, Kiyofumi ABE, Yusuke KATO

Publication number: 20220150484Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: encodes information for deriving a parameter into a header of a bitstream; filters reconstructed samples in a first image using a filtering process, to generate a second image; determines whether the parameter has a predefined value; encodes a third image using the second image when the parameter has the predefined value; and encodes the third image using the first image when the parameter does not have the predefined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Chong Soon LIM, Hai Wei SUN, Jing Ya LI, Han Boon TEO, Che-Wei KUO, Chu Tong WANG, Kiyofumi ABE, Takahiro NISHI, Tadamasa TOMA, Yusuke KATO

Publication number: 20210195245Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory connected to the circuitry, and the circuitry, in operation: determines, based on a width and a height of a block, whether or not to disable a prediction mode in which the block is split along a partitioning line defined by a distance and an angle and then prediction is performed; and encodes the block with the prediction mode disabled or not disabled according to a result of the determination on whether or not to disable the prediction mode.
