  • Patent number: 11838544
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method for predicting a current block using a current picture referencing mode (also called intra block copy (ibc) mode), and a video encoding or decoding device therefor. The method comprises: decoding, from a bitstream, an enable flag indicating whether the application of the ibc mode is allowed, and type information indicating whether the type of slices is an inter type; depending on the enable flag and the type information, decoding from the bitstream an ibc flag indicating whether a prediction mode for the current block is the ibc mode; when the ibc flag indicates the ibc mode, decoding motion information from the bitstream; and predicting the current block by using a block indicated by the motion information within a current picture in which the current block is located.

  • Patent number: 11812061
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for decoding a video including determining a coding unit to be decoded by block partitioning, decoding prediction syntaxes for the coding unit, the prediction syntaxes including a skip flag indicating whether the coding unit is encoded in a skip mode, after the decoding of the prediction syntaxes, decoding transform syntaxes including a transformation/quantization skip flag and a coding unit cbf, wherein the transformation/quantization skip flag indicates whether inverse transformation, inverse quantization, and at least part of in-loop filterings are skipped, and the coding unit cbf indicates whether all coefficients in a luma block and two chroma blocks constituting the coding unit are zero, and reconstructing the coding unit based on the prediction syntaxes and the transform syntaxes.

  • Patent number: 11689718
    Abstract: The present invention relates to efficient signaling of an intra prediction mode for predicting a current block in intra prediction coding. According to an aspect of the present invention, a video encoding apparatus divides dozens of intra modes into groups, selects a group to which an actual intra mode of the current block to be encoded belongs, and signals a value corresponding to the group. The video decoding apparatus acquires information on the group to which the actual intra mode of the current block belongs from a bit-stream and then evaluates intra modes belonging to the group to select a final intra mode.
