  • Publication number: 20220094923
    Abstract: A method of coding of video data is disclosed. According to the method, a predicted luma quantization parameter is derived and a luma quantization parameter is generated. The predicted luma quantization parameter is derived by using a tree type specifying whether a single tree or a dual tree is used to partition a coding tree. The luma quantization parameter is generated by using the predicted luma quantization parameter. The predicted luma quantization parameter is set equal to a luma quantization parameter of a coding unit containing a luma coding block covering a neighbouring location by using a current quantization group and a neighbouring block availability.
