  • Patent number: 11949918
    Abstract: A method implemented by a video coding apparatus includes applying a neural network (NN) filter to an unfiltered sample of a video unit to generate a filtered sample. The NN filter is applied based on a syntax element of the video unit. The method also includes converting between a video media file and a bitstream based on the filtered sample that was generated.

  • Patent number: 11917196
    Abstract: A video processing method includes performing a conversion between a video comprising multiple video units and a coded representation of the video in which the multiple video units are processed in an order, where, when a video unit of the multiple video units is processed in the conversion, one or more frequence tables and/or one or more sorted intra prediction mode (IPM) tables are reset or initialized, where the one or more frequence tables include information about frequence of one or more intra prediction modes used for processing previous video units in the multiple video units, where the previous video units precede in time the video unit, where the frequence indicates an occurrence of the one or more intra prediction modes used for the conversion, and where the one or more sorted IPM tables indicate the one or more intra prediction modes used in the processing.

  • Publication number: 20240056570
    Abstract: A method implemented by a video coding apparatus. The method includes applying a first filter to an unfiltered sample of a video unit to generate a filtered sample. The first filter is a neural network (NN) filter based on a non-deep learning-based filter (NDLF) being disabled, and the first filter is the NDLF based on the NN filter being disabled. The method also includes performing a conversion between a video media file and a bitstream based on the filtered sample that was generated.

  • Publication number: 20240007628
    Abstract: A mechanism for processing video data implemented by a video coding apparatus is disclosed. The mechanism determines usage of one or more of a separate tree coding and a partitioning beyond a minimum size threshold for a video unit. The mechanism also disables a cross-component coding tool for the video unit based on the determination. A conversion between a visual media data and a bitstream is performed in accordance with the coding tool being disabled.

  • Publication number: 20230262225
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for video coding using sample string vectors are described. An example method of video processing includes determining, for a conversion between a video including a current block and a bitstream of the video, an availability of a block vector of one or more non-adjacent neighboring blocks of the current block for a prediction of a block vector of the current block according to a rule, and performing, based on the determining, the conversion, wherein the rule specifies a pre-defined order for checking the one or more non-adjacent neighboring blocks.

  • Publication number: 20230262226
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for sample string processing in intra coding are described. An example method of video processing includes determining, for a conversion between a video comprising a current block and a bitstream of the video, whether a first sample string of the current block forms a rectangle, and performing, based on the determining, the conversion, wherein the determining is based on a position and a length of the first sample string.

  • Publication number: 20230107138
    Abstract: Examples of video encoding methods and apparatus and video decoding methods and apparatus are described. An example method of processing video data includes determining, for a conversion between a video block of a video and a bitstream of the video, a gradient of a prediction vector at a sub-block level for the video block according to a rule, wherein the rule specifies to use a same gradient value is assigned for all samples within a sub-block of the video block; and performing the conversion based on the determining.

  • Publication number: 20220312020
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for digital video coding, which includes Prediction from Multiple Cross-components (PMC) methods, are described. An exemplary method for video processing includes making a first determination that a cross-component prediction (CCP) mode is disabled for a conversion between a video block of a video and a bitstream representation of the video and making a second determination, based on the first determination, regarding whether a first syntax element indicating usage of an enhanced Two-Step Cross-component Prediction Mode (TSCPM) coding tool or an enhanced cross-component linear model (CCLM) coding tool is included in the bitstream representation.
