Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding and decoding. Processing circuitry of an apparatus for video decoding decodes coded information for one or more blocks from a coded video bitstream. The coded information indicates whether to apply a super resolution coding mode to the one or more blocks. The super resolution coding mode is applied in response to the one or more blocks having been down sampled from a high spatial resolution to a low spatial resolution lower than the high spatial resolution by an encoder. Based on the coded information indicating that the super resolution coding mode is applied to the one or more blocks, the processing circuitry can generate, using the super resolution coding mode, a reconstructed block having the high spatial resolution by upsampling information of a first block having the low spatial resolution in the one or more blocks including transform coefficients.

Abstract: A method of video decoding performed in a video decoder is disclosed. A syntax element can be received from a bitstream of a coded video that indicates whether a sequence of pictures are monochrome or include three color components that are coded separately. By inferring a value of a syntax element, a coding tool can be disabled when the syntax element indicates that the sequence of pictures are monochrome or include three color components that are coded separately. The coding tool uses multiple color components of a picture as input or depends on a chroma component of a picture. Examples of the disabled coding tools can include joint coding of chroma residuals, active color transform (ACT), or block-based delta pulse code modulation (BDPCM) for chroma component.
