  • Publication number: 20240040151
    Abstract: Techniques are described for express and implied signaling of transform mode selections in video coding. Information derived from coefficient samples in a given transform unit (TU) or prediction unit (PU) may constrain or modify signaling of certain syntax elements at the coding block (CB), TU, or PU levels. For instance, based on the spatial locations of decoded coefficients, the spatial patterns of coefficients, or the correlation with the coefficients in neighboring blocks, various syntax elements such as the transform type and related flags/indices or secondary transform modes/flags indices, a residual coding mode, intra and inter prediction modes, and scanning order may be disabled or constrained. In another case, if the coefficient samples match a desired spatial pattern or have other desired properties then a default transform type, a default secondary transform type, a default intra and inter prediction mode or other block level modes may be inferred at the decoder side.
