  • Patent number: 11683481
    Abstract: Image decoding of decoding a sequence of coded pictures on a block-by-block basis is provided. The image decoding incudes decoding a first high-level syntax element from a bitstream to determine, at a sequence level, whether affine motion prediction is allowed. A second high-level syntax element is extracted for each of at least one coding tool from the bitstream depending on the first high-level syntax element. At a picture level, the method determines whether each of the at least one coding tool is allowed. The coding tool includes sample-by-sample adjustment of affine motion prediction samples.

  • Publication number: 20230188709
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for patch book-based encoding and decoding of video data. A video data decoding method comprises the steps of: determining a patch book list for a block of video data; and determining one or more index values for the block. Each of the index values indicates a patch book entry having color values corresponding to a subset of pixels in the block, among patch book entries of the patch book list. The decoding method further comprises a step of reconstructing subsets of the pixels on the basis of the patch book list and the index values for the block.

  • Publication number: 20230179762
    Abstract: A video decoding method for decoding a target block using intra prediction comprises decoding, from a bitstream, boundary line information specifying at least one boundary line for partitioning the target block.
