  • Patent number: 11943440
    Abstract: Innovations in adaptive encoding and decoding for units of a video sequence can improve coding efficiency when switching between color spaces during encoding and decoding. For example, some of the innovations relate to adjustment of quantization or scaling when an encoder switches color spaces between units within a video sequence during encoding. Other innovations relate to adjustment of inverse quantization or scaling when a decoder switches color spaces between units within a video sequence during decoding.
