- Section headings are used in the present document for ease of understanding and do not limit the embodiments and techniques to the corresponding sections. As such, embodiments from one section can be combined with embodiments from other sections.
- This document is related to video coding technologies. Specifically, it is related to palette coding with employing base colors based representation in video coding. It may be applied to the existing video coding standard like HEVC, or the standard (Versatile Video Coding) to be finalized. It may be also applicable to future video coding standards or video codec.
- Video coding standards have evolved primarily through the development of the well-known ITU-T and ISO/IEC standards.
- the ITU-T produced H. 261 and H. 263, ISO/IEC produced MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 Visual, and the two organizations jointly produced the H.262/MPEG-2 Video and H. 264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) and H. 265/HEVC standards.
- AVC H. 264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding
- H. 265/HEVC High Efficiency Video Coding
- the video coding standards are based on the hybrid video coding structure wherein temporal prediction plus transform coding are utilized.
- Joint Video Exploration Team JVET was founded by VCEG and MPEG jointly in 2015.
- JVET Joint Exploration Model
- Fig. 7 is a block diagram of an example implementation of a video encoder.
- Fig 7 shows that the encoder implementation has a feedback path built in in which the video encoder also performs video decoding functionality (reconstructing compressed representation of video data for use in encoding of next video data) .
- Intra block copy (IBC) , a.k.a. current picture referencing, has been adopted in HEVC Screen Content Coding extensions (HEVC-SCC) and the current VVC test model (VTM-4.0) .
- IBC extends the concept of motion compensation from inter-frame coding to intra-frame coding. As demonstrated in FIG. 1, the current block is predicted by a reference block in the same picture when IBC is applied. The samples in the reference block must have been already reconstructed before the current block is coded or decoded.
- IBC is not so efficient for most camera-captured sequences, it shows significant coding gains for screen content. The reason is that there are lots of repeating patterns, such as icons and text characters in a screen content picture.
- an inter-coded coding unit can apply IBC if it chooses the current picture as its reference picture.
- the MV is renamed as block vector (BV) in this case, and a BV always has an integer-pixel precision.
- BV block vector
- the current picture is marked as a “long-term” reference picture in the Decoded Picture Buffer (DPB) .
- DPB Decoded Picture Buffer
- the prediction can be generated by copying the reference block.
- the residual can be got by subtracting the reference pixels from the original signals.
- transform and quantization can be applied as in other coding modes.
- the luma motion vector mvLX shall obey the following constraints:
- the whole reference block should be with the current coding tree unit (CTU) and does not overlap with the current block. Thus, there is no need to pad the reference or prediction block.
- the IBC flag is coded as a prediction mode of the current CU. Thus, there are totally three prediction modes, MODE_INTRA, MODE_INTER and MODE_IBC for each CU.
- IBC merge mode an index pointing to an entry in the IBC merge candidates list is parsed from the bitstream.
- the construction of the IBC merge list can be summarized according to the following sequence of steps:
- Step 1 Derivation of spatial candidates
- Position B2 is considered only when any Prediction Unit (PU) of position A1, B1, B0, A0 is not available (e.g. because it belongs to another slice or tile) or is not coded with IBC mode.
- PU Prediction Unit
- not all possible candidate pairs are considered in the mentioned redundancy check. Instead only the pairs linked with an arrow in depicted in the figures are considered and a candidate is only added to the list if the corresponding candidate used for redundancy check has not the same motion information.
- IBC candidates from HMVP table may be inserted. Redundancy check are performed when inserting the HMVP candidates.
- pairwise average candidates are inserted into the IBC merge list.
- the merge candidate When a reference block identified by a merge candidate is outside of the picture, or overlaps with the current block, or outside of the reconstructed area, or outside of the valid area restricted by some constrains, the merge candidate is called invalid merge candidate.
- invalid merge candidates may be inserted into the IBC merge list.
- IBC AMVP mode an AMVP index point to an entry in the IBC AMVP list is parsed from the bitstream.
- the construction of the IBC AMVP list can be summarized according to the following sequence of steps:
- Step 1 Derivation of spatial candidates
- IBC candidates from HMVP table may be inserted.
- palette mode The basic idea behind a palette mode is that the samples in the CU are represented by a small set of representative color values. This set is referred to as the palette. It is also possible to indicate a sample that is outside the palette by signaling an escape symbol followed by (possibly quantized) component values. This is illustrated in FIG. 2.
- a palette predictor For coding of the palette entries, a palette predictor is maintained. The maximum size of the palette as well as the palette predictor is signaled in the Sequence Parameter Set (SPS) .
- SPS Sequence Parameter Set
- a palette_predictor_initializer_present_flag is introduced in the PPS. When this flag is 1, entries for initializing the palette predictor are signaled in the bitstream.
- the palette predictor is initialized at the beginning of each CTU row, each slice and each tile.
- the palette predictor is reset to 0 or initialized using the palette predictor intializer entries signaled in the PPS.
- a palette predictor initializer of size 0 was enabled to allow explicit disabling of the palette predictor initialization at the PPS level.
- a reuse flag is signaled to indicate whether it is part of the current palette. This is illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the reuse flags are sent using run-length coding of zeros. After this, the number of new palette entries are signaled using exponential Golomb code of order 0. Finally, the component values for the new palette entries are signaled.
- the palette indices are coded using horizontal and vertical traverse scans as shown in FIG. 4.
- the scan order is explicitly signaled in the bitstream using the palette_transpose_flag. For the rest of the subsection it is assumed that the scan is horizontal.
- the palette indices are coded using two main palette sample modes: 'INDEX' and 'COPY_ABOVE' .
- the escape symbol is also signaled as an 'INDEX' mode and assigned an index equal to the maximum palette size.
- the mode is signaled using a flag except for the top row or when the previous mode was 'COPY_ABOVE' .
- the palette index of the sample in the row above is copied.
- the palette index is explicitly signaled.
- a run value is signaled which specifies the number of subsequent samples that are also coded using the same mode.
- escape component values are signaled for each escape symbol.
- the coding of palette indices is illustrated in FIG. 5.
- This syntax order is accomplished as follows. First the number of index values for the CU is signaled. This is followed by signaling of the actual index values for the entire CU using truncated binary coding. Both the number of indices as well as the the index values are coded in bypass mode. This groups the index-related bypass bins together. Then the palette sample mode (if necessary) and run are signaled in an interleaved manner. Finally, the component escape values corresponding to the escape samples for the entire CU are grouped together and coded in bypass mode.
- last_run_type_flag An additional syntax element, last_run_type_flag, is signaled after signaling the index values. This syntax element, in conjunction with the number of indices, eliminates the need to signal the run value corresponding to the last run in the block.
- each palette entry consists of 3 components.
- the chroma samples are associated with luma sample indices that are divisible by 2. After reconstructing the palette indices for the CU, if a sample has only a single component associated with it, only the first component of the palette entry is used. The only difference in signaling is for the escape component values. For each escape sample, the number of escape component values signaled may be different depending on the number of components associated with that sample.
- the dual tree coding structure is used on coding the intra slices, so the luma component and two chroma components may have different palette and palette indices.
- the two chroma component shares same palette and palette indices.

- the 6 pixels in the two red boxes for the first four lines are used to determine filter on/off for 4 lines.
- the 6 pixels in two red boxes for the second 4 lines are used to determine filter on/off for the second four lines.
- the vertical edges in a picture are filtered first. Then the horizontal edges in a picture are filtered with samples modified by the vertical edge filtering process as input.

- the bilinear filter is listed below.
- tcPD i and tcPD j term is a position dependent clipping described in Section 2.3.6 and g j , f i , Middle s, t , P s and Q s are given in Table 2-3:
- the chroma strong filters are used on both sides of the block boundary.
- the chroma filter is selected when both sides of the chroma edge are greater than or equal to 8 (chroma position) , and the following decision with three conditions are satisfied: the first one is for decision of boundary strength as well as large block.
- the proposed filter can be applied when the block width or height which orthogonally crosses the block edge is equal to or larger than 8 in chroma sample domain.
- the second and third one is basically the same as for HEVC luma deblocking decision, which are on/off decision and strong filter decision, respectively.
- boundary strength (bS) is modified for chroma filtering as shown in Table 2-2.
- the conditions in Table 2-2 are checked sequentially. If a condition is satisfied, then the remaining conditions with lower priorities are skipped.
- Chroma deblocking is performed when bS is equal to 2, or bS is equal to 1 when a large block boundary is detected.

- d is then derived as in HEVC luma deblocking.
- the second condition will be TRUE when d is less than ⁇ .
- the proposed chroma filter performs deblocking on a 4x4 chroma sample grid.
- the position dependent clipping tcPD is applied to the output samples of the luma filtering process involving strong and long filters that are modifying 7, 5 and 3 samples at the boundary. Assuming quantization error distribution, it is proposed to increase clipping value for samples which are expected to have higher quantization noise, thus expected to have higher deviation of the reconstructed sample value from the true sample value.
- position dependent threshold table is selected from two tables (i.e., Tc7 and Tc3 tabulated below) that are provided to decoder as a side information:
- Tc7 ⁇ 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1 ⁇ ;
- Tc3 ⁇ 6, 4, 2 ⁇ ;
- position dependent threshold For the P or Q boundaries being filtered with a short symmetrical filter, position dependent threshold of lower magnitude is applied:
- Tc3 ⁇ 3, 2, 1 ⁇ ;
- filtered p’ i and q’ i sample values are clipped according to tcP and tcQ clipping values:

Additionally, the sub-block deblocking is adjusted such that that sub-block boundaries on an 8x8 grid that are close to a CU or an implicit TU boundary is restricted to modify at most two samples on each side.

- edge equal to 2 or equal to orthogonalLength-2 corresponds to sub-block boundary 8 samples from a CU boundary etc.
- VTM5 the number of directional intra modes in VTM5 is extended from 33, as used in HEVC, to 65.
- the new directional modes not in HEVC are depicted as red dotted arrows in FIG. 12, and the planar and DC modes remain the same.
- These denser directional intra prediction modes apply for all block sizes and for both luma and chroma intra predictions.
- VTM5 In VTM5, several conventional angular intra prediction modes are adaptively replaced with wide-angle intra prediction modes for the non-square blocks. Wide angle intra prediction is described in Section 3.3.1.2.
- every intra-coded block has a square shape and the length of each of its side is a power of 2. Thus, no division operations are required to generate an intra-predictor using DC mode.
- blocks can have a rectangular shape that necessitates the use of a division operation per block in the general case. To avoid division operations for DC prediction, only the longer side is used to compute the average for non-square blocks.
- MPM most probable mode
- a unified 6-MPM list is used for intra blocks irrespective of whether MRL and ISP coding tools are applied or not.
- the MPM list is constructed based on intra modes of the left and above neighboring block. Suppose the mode of the left block is denoted as Left and the mode of the above block is denoted as Above, the unified MPM list is constructed as follows (The left and above blocks are shown in FIG. 13.
- MPM list ⁇ ⁇ Planar, Left, Above, DC, Max -1, Max +1 ⁇
- MPM list ⁇ ⁇ Planar, Left, Above, DC, Max -2, Max +2 ⁇
- the first bin of the mpm index codeword is CABAC context coded. In total three contexts are used, corresponding to whether the current intra block is MRL enabled, ISP enabled, or a normal intra block.
- TBC Truncated Binary Code
- Chroma mode coding For chroma intra mode coding, a total of 8 intra modes are allowed for chroma intra mode coding. Those modes include five traditional intra modes and three cross-component linear model modes (CCLM, LM_A, and LM_L) . Chroma mode signalling and derivation process are shown in Table 2-4. Chroma mode coding directly depends on the intra prediction mode of the corresponding luma block. Since separate block partitioning structure for luma and chroma components is enabled in I slices, one chroma block may correspond to multiple luma blocks. Therefore, for Chroma DM mode, the intra prediction mode of the corresponding luma block covering the center position of the current chroma block is directly inherited.
- QR-BDPCM quantized residual block differential pulse-code modulation
- the prediction directions used in QR-BDPCM can be vertical and horizontal prediction modes.
- the intra prediction is done on the entire block by sample copying in prediction direction (horizontal or vertical prediction) similar to intra prediction.
- the residual is quantized and the delta between the quantized residual and its predictor (horizontal or vertical) quantized value is coded. This can be described by the following: For a block of size M (rows) ⁇ N (cols) , let r i, j , 0 ⁇ i ⁇ M-1, 0 ⁇ j ⁇ N-1 be the prediction residual after performing intra prediction horizontally (copying left neighbor pixel value across the the predicted block line by line) or vertically (copying top neighbor line to each line in the predicted block) using unfiltered samples from above or left block boundary samples.
- the residual quantized samples are sent to the decoder.
- the inverse quantized residuals, Q -1 (Q (r i, j ) ) are added to the intra block prediction values to produce the reconstructed sample values.
- the main benefit of this scheme is that the inverse DPCM can be done on the fly during coefficient parsing simply adding the predictor as the coefficients are parsed or it can be performed after parsing.
- an Adaptive Loop Filter (ALF) with block-based filter adaption is applied.
- ALF Adaptive Loop Filter
- VTM5 two diamond filter shapes (as shown in FIG. 14) are used.

- the subsampled 1-D Laplacian calculation is applied. As shown in FIG. 15A-D, the same subsampled positions are used for gradient calculation of all directions.
- D maximum and minimum values of the gradients of horizontal and vertical directions are set as:
- Step 1 If both and are true, D is set to 0.
- Step 2 If continue from Step 3; otherwise continue from Step 4.
- Step 3 If D is set to 2; otherwise D is set to 1.
- the activity value A is calculated as:
- A is further quantized to the range of 0 to 4, inclusively, and the quantized value is denoted as
- no classification method is applied, i.e. a single set of ALF coefficients is applied for each chroma component.
- K is the size of the filter and 0 ⁇ k, l ⁇ K-1 are coefficients coordinates, such that location (0, 0) is at the upper left corner and location (K-1, K-1) is at the lower right corner.
- the transformations are applied to the filter coefficients f (k, l) and to the clipping values c (k, l) depending on gradient values calculated for that block. The relationship between the transformation and the four gradients of the four directions are summarized in the following table.
- ALF filter parameters are signaled in Adaptation Parameter Set (APS) .
- APS Adaptation Parameter Set
- up to 25 sets of luma filter coefficients and clipping value indexes, and up to one set of chroma filter coefficients nd clipping value indexes could be signaled.
- filter coefficients of different classification can be merged.
- slice header the indices of the APSs used for the current slice are signaled.
- Clipping value indexes which are decoded from the APS, allow determining clipping values using a Luma table of clipping values and a Chroma table of clipping values. These clipping values are dependent of the internal bitdepth. More precisely, the Luma table of clipping values and Chroma table of clipping values are obtained by the following formulas:
- the filtering process can be controlled at CTB level.
- a flag is always signaled to indicate whether ALF is applied to a luma CTB.
- a luma CTB can choose a filter set among 16 fixed filter sets and the filter sets from APSs.
- a filter set index is signaled for a luma CTB to indicate which filter set is applied.
- the 16 fixed filter sets are pre-defined and hard-coded in both the encoder and the decoder.
- the filter coefficients are quantized with norm equal to 128.
- a bitstream conformance is applied so that the coefficient value of the non-central position shall be in the range of -2 7 to 2 7 -1, inclusive.
- the central position coefficient is not signaled in the bitstream and is considered as equal to 128.
- each sample R (i, j) within the CU is filtered, resulting in sample value R′ (i, j) as shown below,
- R′ (i, j) R (i, j) + ( ( ⁇ k ⁇ 0 ⁇ l ⁇ 0 f (k, l) ⁇ K (R (i+k, j+l) -R (i, j) , c (k, l) ) +64) >>7) (2-9-14)
- K (x, y) is the clipping function
- c (k, l) denotes the decoded clipping parameters.
- the variable k and l varies between and where L denotes the filter length.
- the clipping function K (x, y) min (y, max (-y, x) ) which corresponds to the function Clip 3 (-y, y, x) .
- VTM5 to reduce the line buffer requirement of ALF, modified block classification and filtering are employed for the samples near horizontal CTU boundaries.
- a virtual boundary is defined as a line by shifting the horizontal CTU boundary with “N” samples as shown in FIG. 16, with N equal to 4 for the Luma component and 2 for the Chroma component.
- Modified block classification is applied for the Luma component as depicted in FIG. 2-11.
- the 1D Laplacian gradient calculation of the 4x4 block above the virtual boundary only the samples above the virtual boundary are used.
- the 1D Laplacian gradient calculation of the 4x4 block below the virtual boundary only the samples below the virtual boundary are used.
- the quantization of activity value A is accordingly scaled by taking into account the reduced number of samples used in 1D Laplacian gradient calculation.
- symmetric padding operation at the virtual boundaries are used for both Luma and Chroma components. As shown in FIG. 17, when the sample being filtered is located below the virtual boundary, the neighboring samples that are located above the virtual boundary are padded. Meanwhile, the corresponding samples at the other sides are also padded, symmetrically.
- Sample adaptive offset is applied to the reconstructed signal after the deblocking filter by using offsets specified for each CTB by the encoder.
- the HM encoder first makes the decision on whether or not the SAO process is to be applied for current slice. If SAO is applied for the slice, each CTB is classified as one of five SAO types as shown in Table 2-6.
- the concept of SAO is to classify pixels into categories and reduces the distortion by adding an offset to pixels of each category.
- SAO operation includes Edge Offset (EO) which uses edge properties for pixel classification in SAO type 1-4 and Band Offset (BO) which uses pixel intensity for pixel classification in SAO type 5.
- EO Edge Offset
- BO Band Offset
- Each applicable CTB has SAO parameters including sao_merge_left_flag, sao_merge_up_flag, SAO type and four offsets. If sao_merge_left_flag is equal to 1, the current CTB will reuse the SAO type and offsets of the CTB to the left. If sao_merge_up_flag is equal to 1, the current CTB will reuse SAO type and offsets of the CTB above.
- Edge offset uses four 1-D 3-pixel patterns for classification of the current pixel p by consideration of edge directional information, as shown in FIG. 18. From left to right these are: 0-degree, 90-degree, 135-degree and 45-degree.
- Each CTB is classified into one of five categories according to Table 2-7.
- Band offset classifies all pixels in one CTB region into 32 uniform bands by using the five most significant bits of the pixel value as the band index.
- the pixel intensity range is divided into 32 equal segments from zero to the maximum intensity value (e.g. 255 for 8-bit pixels) .
- Four adjacent bands are grouped together and each group is indicated by its most left-hand position as shown in FIG. 19. The encoder searches all position to get the group with the maximum distortion reduction by compensating offset of each band.
- VTM5 when a CU is coded in merge mode, if the CU contains at least 64 luma samples (that is, CU width times CU height is equal to or larger than 64) , and if both CU width and CU height are less than 128 luma samples, an additional flag is signaled to indicate if the combined inter/intra prediction (CIIP) mode is applied to the current CU.
- the CIIP prediction combines an inter prediction signal with an intra prediction signal.
- the inter prediction signal in the CIIP mode P inter is derived using the same inter prediction process applied to regular merge mode; and the intra prediction signal P intra is derived following the regular intra prediction process with the planar mode.
- the intra and inter prediction signals are combined using weighted averaging, where the weight value is calculated depending on the coding modes of the top and left neighbouring blocks (depicted in FIG. 20) as follows:
- the CIIP prediction is formed as follows:
- LMCS luma mapping with chroma scaling
- FIG. 21 shows the LMCS architecture from decoder’s perspective.
- the light-blue shaded blocks in FIG. 21 indicate where the processing is applied in the mapped domain; and these include the inverse quantization, inverse transform, luma intra prediction and adding of the luma prediction together with the luma residual.
- the light-yellow shaded blocks in FIG. 21 are the new LMCS functional blocks, including forward and inverse mapping of the luma signal and a luma-dependent chroma scaling process.
- LMCS can be enabled/disabled at the sequence level using an SPS flag.
- One palette flag is usually used to indicate whether the palette mode is employed on the current CU, which can have different limitations and variances on its entropy coding. However, how to better code the palette flag has not been fully studied in the previous video coding standards.
- the palette samples may have visual artifact if they are processed by post loop filtering process.
