For each pixel group, an electronic device identifies a respective chroma sample and a set of luma samples and determines an anchor luma sample from the set of luma samples.

The electronic device then updates the chroma sample using the chroma refinement value for each pixel group and stores the updated respective chroma sample of each pixel group in association with the video frame.
