  • Publication number: 20220094923
    Abstract: A method of coding of video data is disclosed. According to the method, a predicted luma quantization parameter is derived and a luma quantization parameter is generated. The predicted luma quantization parameter is derived by using a tree type specifying whether a single tree or a dual tree is used to partition a coding tree. The luma quantization parameter is generated by using the predicted luma quantization parameter. The predicted luma quantization parameter is set equal to a luma quantization parameter of a coding unit containing a luma coding block covering a neighbouring location by using a current quantization group and a neighbouring block availability.

  • Publication number: 20220078460
    Abstract: A method of decoding video data by a device is provided. A merge subblock flag specifying whether subblock-based inter prediction parameters for a coding unit are inferred from neighbouring blocks is decoded. A motion vector difference merge flag is decoded if a value of the merge subblock flag is equal to zero and a value of a motion vector difference flag is equal to one. The motion vector difference merge flag specifies a prediction parameter with a motion vector difference is used, and the motion vector difference flag specifies whether a merge mode with motion vector difference is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20220014779
    Abstract: A method of performing motion vector prediction for coding video data is disclosed. A full precision motion vector mv is determined for generating a prediction for video block in a first picture. A rounded motion vector rmv having a less precision than the full precision motion vector mv is stored.

  • Publication number: 20220014753
    Abstract: A method of deriving a motion vector difference for coding video data, the method comprises determining whether inter-layer prediction is utilized by determining whether both a reference picture in a first reference picture list is not marked as used for long-term reference and a reference picture in a second reference picture list is not marked as used for long-term reference; based on whether the inter-layer prediction is utilized, setting a scaling factor to one of: a value of 1 in a case where the inter-layer prediction is utilized; or a value in the range of ?4096 to 4095 in a case where the inter-layer prediction is not utilized; and deriving the motion vector difference based on the scaling factor.

First and second chrominance values corresponding, respectively, to first and second positions on a chrominance image are derived. First and second difference values indicate, respectively, a first difference between the first and second luminance values and a second difference between the first and second chrominance values. A shift value is derived for a shift operation and a first parameter is derived by using the first and second difference values, and a second parameter is derived by using the second luminance value, the second chrominance value, the first parameter, and the shift value according to a formula. The shift value is set to a first threshold if a value derived by using the first and second difference values is less than the first threshold.
