Abstract: This application provides a chroma block prediction method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining chroma values of chroma samples; obtaining, luma values of luma samples corresponding to the chroma samples; obtaining, from the luma values, a first luma set and a second luma set; grouping the chroma values into a first chroma set and a second chroma set; determining a scaling coefficient in a linear model based on an average value of luma values in the first luma set, an average value of luma values in the second luma set, an average value of chroma values in the first chroma set, and an average value of chroma values in the second chroma set; determining, based on the scaling coefficient, an offset factor in the linear model; and determining prediction information of the chroma block based on the scaling coefficient and the offset factor.

Abstract: This application provides an example inter prediction method and a related example apparatus. One example method includes parsing a bitstream to determine prediction information of a to-be-processed picture block, where the prediction information indicates that a prediction direction of the to-be-processed picture block is bidirectional prediction, where the bitstream does not include target identification information, and where the target identification information indicates to perform local illumination compensation (LIC) on the to-be-processed picture block; and obtaining a prediction value of the to-be-processed picture block based on the prediction information.

Abstract: The inter prediction method is provided, which includes: obtaining a predicted sample value of a current affine block; determining one or more luminance compensation blocks based on motion vectors of one or more subblocks of the current affine block; determining a linear model coefficient based on a first sample set and a second sample set, where the first sample set includes at least one reconstructed sample neighboring to an edge of the current affine block, the second sample set includes at least one reconstructed sample neighboring to an edge of the one or more luminance compensation blocks, and the sample in the first sample set is in a one-to-one correspondence with the sample in the second sample set; and updating the predicted sample value of the current affine block based on the linear model coefficient, to obtain an updated predicted sample value of the current affine block.

Abstract: This application provides an inter prediction method and a related apparatus. The method includes: parsing a bitstream to determine prediction information of a to-be-processed picture block, where when the prediction information indicates that a prediction direction of the to-be-processed picture block is bidirectional prediction, the bitstream does not include target identification information, where the target identification information is used to indicate to perform local illumination compensation LIC on the to-be-processed picture block; and obtaining a prediction value of the to-be-processed picture block based on the prediction information. According to the foregoing technical solutions, a video decoding speed can be accelerated without greatly affecting video quality.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first stream port and a control circuit. The first stream port includes a plurality of lanes, wherein the plurality of lanes are used to couple to a plurality of lanes of a second stream port of another electronic device, respectively. The control circuit is coupled to the first stream port, and is arranged for controlling a data transmission and data reception of the first stream port. When the lanes of the first stream port receive training sequences having a plurality of lane numbers from the lanes of the second stream port, respectively, to initiate a lane number negotiation, the lanes of the first stream port send back the received lane numbers to the second stream port, without considering default lane numbers of the lanes of the first stream port.
