Publication number: 20250080730Abstract: This disclosure generally describes a set of advanced video coding technologies, and is specifically related to cross-component sample offset (CCSO) filtering. For example, a CCSO filter having fractional CCSO filtering tap positions may be used to generate sample offsets from one color component of a reconstructed video. The sample offsets may then be applied to a second color component of the reconstructed video. The reconstructed samples of the first color component may first be interpolated by an interpolation filter in order to generate interpolated samples of the first color component at the fractional CCSO tap positions. The interpolated samples may be used as input to the CCSO filter for the generation of the sample offsets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: TENCENT AMERICA LLCInventors: Xin ZHAO, Han GAO, Liang ZHAO, Jing YE, Shan LIU
