Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry for video decoding. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information indicates a prediction mode for the current block being an inter prediction mode or an intra block copy (IBC) mode. The processing circuitry selects a base vector from a candidate list including a block vector candidate used in the IBC mode and determines an offset vector based on offset information that includes directions and sizes for constructing offset vectors. The processing circuitry determines a vector of the current block based on the base vector and the offset vector. The vector is a block vector when the prediction mode is the IBC mode and the vector is a motion vector when the prediction mode is the inter prediction mode.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. For example, the processing circuitry receives a bitstream including bits corresponding to residues associated with a prediction of a block in a coding tree unit (CTU) and determines a maximum transform size based on the CTU size. The maximum transform size is used in a partition to form, from the residues, one or more transform blocks that are respectively encoded into the bits. Then, the processing circuitry reconstructs based on the maximum transform size and from the bits the residues associated with the prediction of the block, and then the processing circuitry reconstructs samples of the block based on the reconstructed residues and the prediction of the block.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. In a method, prediction information of a current block of a current picture in a coded bitstream is decoded. The prediction information indicates a geometric partitioning mode (GPM) for the current block. The current block is partitioned into two partitions in the GPM mode. Each of the partitions is associated with a respective predictor. A weighting index for a sample of the current block is determined based on a position of the sample. A weighting factor is calculated based on the weighting index of the sample according to an equation that converts the weighting index to the weighting factor. The sample is reconstructed based on the weighting factor and the predictor corresponding to the sample.

Abstract: In a method of video encoding for an encoder, a determination is made to determine whether (i) an implicit transform scheme is enabled, and (ii) at least one of a low-frequency non-separable transform (LFNST) and a matrix-based intra predication mode (MIP) is invalid for a coding unit (CU). In response to the determination that the implicit transform scheme is enabled, and at least one of the LFNST and MIP is invalid, a primary transform type is determined based on a size of the CU. A primary transform is performed for a transform block that is partitioned from the CU in accordance with the determined primary transform type. A coded bitstream that indicates the primary transform type of the CU is subsequently output.
