Abstract: Coded information of a current block and neighboring blocks of the current block is received, where the current block is predicted in an intra directional mode. The intra directional mode of the current block is determined to be associated with an angle that is one of smaller than 90 degrees and larger than 180 degrees. In response to the intra directional mode of the current block being associated with the angle, whether a delta angle associated with the current block is a pre-defined delta angle is determined. In response to the delta angle associated with the current block not being the pre-defined delta angle, a single direction intra prediction and not a bi-direction intra prediction is applied to the current block. A sample of the current block is reconstructed based on an adjacent reference sample on a reference line that is determined according to the single direction intra prediction.

Abstract: An apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry configured to receive a splitting direction syntax element, a first merge triangle index syntax element, and a second merge triangle index syntax element that are associated with a coding block of a picture. The coding block is coded according to a triangular prediction mode and partitioned into a first prediction unit and a second prediction unit according to a split direction. A first merge index identifies first motion information in a merge candidate list of the coding block. A second merge index identifies second motion information in the merge candidate list of the coding block. The coding block is reconstructed according to first prediction samples of the first prediction unit and second prediction samples of the second prediction unit. A value of the second merge triangle index syntax element is based on the first merge index.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry that receives a coded bitstream comprising a first block in a current picture. The processing circuitry obtains prediction information indicating whether the first block is coded in an intra template matching prediction (IntraTMP) mode. If the IntraTMP mode is applied to the first block, the first block is reconstructed based on a prediction block within a reconstructed search area in the current picture. A reference template of the prediction block is matched to a current template of the first block in the IntraTMP mode. An IntraTMP-based block vector BVIntraTMP of the first block is stored. The IntraTMP-based block vector indicates a position displacement between the current template of the first block and the reference template of the prediction block. A second block is reconstructed based on the stored IntraTMP-based block vector.

Abstract: Coded information of a first color component and a second color component associated with a current block is determined. A first prediction mode is determined to be selected from an intra prediction mode, an inter prediction mode, or a combined intra-inter prediction mode for the first color component associated with the current block. A second prediction mode is determined to be selected from the intra prediction mode, the inter prediction mode, or the combined intra-inter prediction mode for the second color component associated with the current block. The second prediction mode is different from the first prediction mode. The current block is reconstructed based on predicting the first color component of the current block in the first prediction mode and predicting the second color component of the current block in the second prediction mode.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to video coding with a block-level window size update for arithmetic coding. A probability update rate may be a function of count of appearances for the associated syntax/context when parsing a bitstream. It may also be a function of a number of different symbol values for the associated syntax/context. The value of the count is restarted with a pre-defined value at block-level. The probability or cumulative distribution function (CDF) update rate for a particular syntax/context may be reinitialized with a pre-defined value at block level.

Each of the plurality of candidate predictions is determined based on a respective one of a plurality of triangles in the mesh and including two-dimensional (2D) coordinates in a 2D domain.

A 2D prediction of the current vertex is selected from a prediction list that includes the plurality of candidate predictions and the average prediction. A three-dimensional (3D) prediction of the current vertex is determined based on one or more neighboring vertices of the current vertex in the mesh. A prediction residue comprising a prediction error of the current vertex is encoded. The prediction residue is obtained based on the selected 2D prediction and the determined 3D prediction of the current vertex.

Abstract: A computing system receives a video bitstream that includes a current block and a syntax element indicating that the current block is to be predicted in a blending mode. The current block is encoded using information from first and second reference blocks. When a portion of the current block corresponds to a first area that (i) is within corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks or (ii) is not within the corresponding reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks, the system reconstructs the portion by averaging reference values from the first and second reference blocks. When the portion of the current block corresponds to a second area that is within the corresponding reference boundaries in only one of the first and second reference blocks, the system derives weighted reference values and reconstructs the portion by combining the weighted reference values.

A respective intra mode associated with each of the second blocks is added into the MPM list based on the sequence of conditions.
