  • Patent number: 11924422
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems related to video processing are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a block of a current picture of a video and a coded representation of the video using an intra-subblock partitioning (ISP) mode. A prediction is determined for each sub-partition using an intra-prediction process based on samples in the current picture using the ISP mode. The block is partitioned into multiple sub-partitions including a first sub-partitions having a same top-left corner position as a top-left corner position of the block.
