Abstract: A method of encoding a motion information predictor index, comprising: generating a list of motion information predictor candidates; when an Affine Merge mode is used, selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as an Affine Merge mode predictor; when a non-Affine Merge mode is used, selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as a non-Affine Merge mode predictor; and generating a motion information predictor index for the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, one or more bits of the motion information predictor index being bypass CABAC coded.

Abstract: A method of controlling an Adaptive Loop Filter for one or more image portions of an image, the method comprising controlling filtering on a first sample of an image portion based on one or more neighbouring sample value(s) of the first sample value, wherein the controlling uses a nonlinear function which has one or more variables based on one or more of the neighbouring sample value(s).

Abstract: A method of encoding a motion information predictor index for an Affine Merge mode, comprising: generating a list of motion information predictor candidates; selecting one of the motion information predictor candidates in the list as an Affine Merge mode predictor; and generating a motion information predictor index for the selected motion information predictor candidate using CABAC coding, one or more bits of the motion information predictor index being bypass CABAC coded.

Abstract: A method of encoding a motion vector predictor index, in particular a Merge index, comprises generating a list of motion vector predictor candidates, in particular merge candidates. The list includes an ATMVP candidate. One of the motion vector predictor candidates in the list is selected. A motion vector predictor index for the selected motion vector predictor candidate is generated using CABAC coding. One or more bits of the motion vector predictor index are bypass CABAC coded. For example, only the first bit of the motion vector predictor index is CABAC coded using a single context.
