     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     1. Video Coding in HEVC/H.265 
     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. Since H.262, the video coding standards are based on the hybrid video coding structure wherein temporal prediction plus transform coding are utilized. To explore the future video coding technologies beyond HEVC, Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) was founded by VCEG and MPEG jointly in 2015. Since then, many new methods have been adopted by JVET and put into the reference software named Joint Exploration Model (JEM). In April 2018, the Joint Video Expert Team (JVET) between VCEG (Q6/16) and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29/WG11 (MPEG) was created to work on the VVC standard targeting at 50% bitrate reduction compared to HEVC. 
     2. Overview 
     2.1. Adaptive Resolution Change (ARC) 
     AVC and HEVC does not have the ability to change resolution without having to introduce an IDR or intra random access point (IRAP) picture; such ability can be referred to as adaptive resolution change (ARC). There are use cases or application scenarios that would benefit from an ARC feature, including the following:
         Rate adaption in video telephony and conferencing: For adapting the coded video to the changing network conditions, when the network condition gets worse so that available bandwidth becomes lower, the encoder may adapt to it by encoding smaller resolution pictures. Currently, changing picture resolution can be done only after an IRAP picture; this has several issues. An IRAP picture at reasonable quality will be much larger than an inter-coded picture and will be correspondingly more complex to decode: this costs time and resource. This is a problem if the resolution change is requested by the decoder for loading reasons. It can also break low-latency buffer conditions, forcing an audio re-sync, and the end-to-end delay of the stream will increase, at least temporarily. This can give a poor user experience.   Active speaker changes in multi-party video conferencing: For multi-party video conferencing, it is common that the active speaker is shown in bigger video size than the video for the rest of conference participants. When the active speaker changes, picture resolution for each participant may also need to be adjusted. The need to have ARC feature becomes more important when such change in active speaker happens frequently.   Fast start in streaming: For streaming application, it is common that the application would buffer up to certain length of decoded picture before start displaying. Starting the bitstream with smaller resolution would allow the application to have enough pictures in the buffer to start displaying faster.       

     Adaptive stream switching in streaming: The Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) specification includes a feature named @mediaStreamStructureId. This enables switching between different representations at open-GOP random access points with non-decodable leading pictures, e.g., CRA pictures with associated RASL pictures in HEVC. When two different representations of the same video have different bitrates but the same spatial resolution while they have the same value of @mediaStreamStructureId, switching between the two representations at a CRA picture with associated RASL pictures can be performed, and the RASL pictures associated with the switching-at CRA pictures can be decoded with acceptable quality hence enabling seamless switching. With ARC, the @mediaStreamStructureId feature would also be usable for switching between DASH representations with different spatial resolutions. 
     ARC is also known as Dynamic resolution conversion. 
     ARC may also be regarded as a special case of Reference Picture Resampling (RPR) such as H.263 Annex P. 
     2.2. Reference Picture Resampling in H.263 Annex P 
     This mode describes an algorithm to warp the reference picture prior to its use for prediction. It can be useful for resampling a reference picture having a different source format than the picture being predicted. It can also be used for global motion estimation, or estimation of rotating motion, by warping the shape, size, and location of the reference picture. The syntax includes warping parameters to be used as well as a resampling algorithm. The simplest level of operation for the reference picture resampling mode is an implicit factor of 4 resampling as only an FIR filter needs to be applied for the upsampling and downsampling processes. In this case, no additional signaling overhead is required as its use is understood when the size of a new picture (indicated in the picture header) is different from that of the previous picture. 
     2.3. Conformance Window in VVC 
     Conformance window in VVC defines a rectangle. Samples inside the conformance window belongs to the image of interest. Samples outside the conformance window may be discarded when output. 
     When conformance window is applied, the scaling ration in RPR is derived based on conformance windows.

     pic_width_in_luma_samples specifies the width of each decoded picture referring to the PPS in units of luma samples. pic_width_in_luma_samples shall not be equal to 0, shall be an integer multiple of Max(8, MinCbSizeY), and shall be less than or equal to pic_width_max_in_luma_samples. 
     When subpics_present_flag is equal to 1, the value of pic_width_in_luma_samples shall be equal to pic_width_max_in_luma_samples. 
     pic_height_in_luma_samples specifies the height of each decoded picture referring to the PPS in units of luma samples. pic_height_in_luma_samples shall not be equal to 0 and shall be an integer multiple of Max(8, MinCbSizeY), and shall be less than or equal to pic_height_max_in_luma_samples. 
     When subpics_present_flag is equal to 1, the value of pic_height_in_luma_samples shall be equal to pic_height_max_in_luma_samples. 
     Let refPicWidthInLumaSamples and refPicHeightInLumaSamples be the pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_height_in_luma_samples, respectively, of a reference picture of a current picture referring to this PPS. Is a requirement of bitstream conformance that all of the following conditions are satisfied: 
     
       
       
     
     
       
       
     
     
       
       
     
     
       
       
     
     conformance_window_flag equal to 1 indicates that the conformance cropping window offset parameters follow next in the SPS. conformance_window_flag equal to 0 indicates that the conformance cropping window offset parameters are not present. 
     conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_right_offset, conf_win_top_offset, and conf_win_bottom_offset specify the samples of the pictures in the CVS that are output from the decoding process, in terms of a rectangular region specified in picture coordinates for output. When conformance_window_flag is equal to 0, the values of conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_right_offset, conf_win_top_offset, and conf_win_bottom_offset are inferred to be equal to 0. 
     The conformance cropping window contains the luma samples with horizontal picture coordinates from SubWidthC*conf_win_left_offset to pic_width_in_luma_samples−(SubWidthC*conf_win_right_offset+1) and vertical picture coordinates from SubHeightC*conf_win_top_offset to pic_height_in_luma_samples−(SubHeightC*conf_win_bottom offset+1), inclusive.

       PicOutputWidth L =pic_width_in_luma_samples−SubWidth C *(conf_win_right_offset+conf_win_left_offset)  (7-43)
 
       PicOutputHeight L =pic_height_in_pic_size_units−SubHeight C *(conf_win_bottom_offset+conf_win_top_offset)  (7-44)
 
     When ChromaArrayType is not equal to 0, the corresponding specified samples of the two chroma arrays are the samples having picture coordinates (x/SubWidthC, y/SubHeightC), where (x, y) are the picture coordinates of the specified luma samples. 
     
       
       
       
       
       
       
     
     Let ppsA and ppsB be any two PPSs referring to the same SPS. It is a requirement of bitstream conformance that, when ppsA and ppsB have the same the values of pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_height_in_luma_samples, respectively, ppsA and ppsB shall have the same values of conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_right_offset, conf_win_top_offset, and conf_win_bottom offset, respectively. 
     2.4. Reference Picture Resampling (RPR) 
     In some embodiments, ARC is also known as Reference Picture Resampling (RPR). With RPR, TMVP is disabled if the collocated picture has a different resolution to the current picture. Besides, BDOF and DMVR are disabled when the reference picture has a different resolution to the current picture. 
     To handle the normal MC when the reference picture has a different resolution than the current picture, the interpolation section is defined as below: 
     8.5.6.3 Fractional Sample Interpolation Process 
     8.5.6.3.1 General 
     Inputs to this process are:
         a luma location (xSb, ySb) specifying the top-left sample of the current coding subblock relative to the top-left luma sample of the current picture,   a variable sbWidth specifying the width of the current coding subblock,   a variable sbHeight specifying the height of the current coding subblock,   a motion vector offset mvOffset,   a refined motion vector refMvLX,   the selected reference picture sample array refPicLX,   the half sample interpolation filter index hpelIfIdx,   the bi-directional optical flow flag bdofFlag,   a variable cIdx specifying the colour component index of the current block.       

     Outputs of this process are:
         an (sbWidth+brdExtSize)×(sbHeight+brdExtSize) array predSamplesLX of prediction sample values.       

     The prediction block border extension size brdExtSize is derived as follows: 
       brdExtSize=(bdofFlag∥(inter_affine_flag[ x Sb][ y Sb]&amp;&amp;sps_affine_prof_enabled_flag))?2:0   (8-752)
 
     The variable fRefWidth is set equal to the PicOutputWidthL of the reference picture in luma samples. 
     The variable fRefHeight is set equal to PicOutputHeightL of the reference picture in luma samples. 
     The motion vector mvLX is set equal to (refMvLX−mvOffset).
         If cIdx is equal to 0, the following applies:
           The scaling factors and their fixed-point representations are defined as   
               

       hori_scale_fp=(( f RefWidth&lt;&lt;14)+(PicOutputWidth L &gt;&gt;1))/PicOutputWidth L   (8-753)
 
       vert_scale_fp=(( f RefHeight&lt;&lt;14)+(PicOutputHeight L &gt;&gt;1))/PicOutputHeight L   (8-754)
             Let (xIntL, yIntL) be a luma location given in full-sample units and (xFracL, yFracL) be an offset given in 1/16-sample units. These variables are used only in this clause for specifying fractional-sample locations inside the reference sample arrays refPicLX.   The top-left coordinate of the bounding block for reference sample padding (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ) is set equal to (xSb+(mvLX[0]&gt;&gt;4), ySb+(mvLX[1]&gt;&gt;4)).   For each luma sample location (x L =0 . . . sbWidth−1+brdExtSize, y L =0 . . . sbHeight−1+brdExtSize) inside the prediction luma sample array predSamplesLX, the corresponding prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[x L ][y L ] is derived as follows:
               Let (refxSb L , refySb L ) and (refx L , refy L ) be luma locations pointed to by a motion vector (refMvLX[0], refMvLX[1]) given in 1/16-sample units. The variables refxSb L , refx L , refySb L , and refy L  are derived as follows:   
                       

       ref x Sb L =(( x Sb&lt;&lt;4)+refMv LX [0])*hori_scale_fp  (8-755)
 
       ref x   L =((Sign(ref x Sb)*((Abs(ref x Sb)+128)&gt;&gt;8)+ x   L *((hori_scale_fp+8)&gt;&gt;4))+32)&gt;&gt;6  (8-756)

       ref yL =((Sign(ref y Sb)*((Abs(ref y Sb)+128)&gt;&gt;8)+ yL *((vert_scale_fp+8)&gt;&gt;4))+32)&gt;&gt;6  (8-758)
                 The variables xInt L , yInt L , xFrac L  and yFrac L  are derived as follows:               

         x Int L =ref x   L &gt;&gt;4  (8-759)
 
         y Int L =ref y   L &gt;&gt;4  (8-760)

         y Frac L =ref y   L &amp;15  (8-762)
             If bdofFlag is equal to TRUE or (sps_affine_prof_enabled_flag is equal to TRUE and inter_affine_flag[xSb][ySb] is equal to TRUE), and one or more of the following conditions are true, the prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[x L ][y L ] is derived by invoking the luma integer sample fetching process as specified in clause 8.5.6.3.3 with (xInt L +(xFrac L &gt;&gt;3)−1), yInt L +(yFrac L &gt;&gt;3)−1) and refPicLX as inputs.
               x L  is equal to 0.   x L  is equal to sbWidth+1.   y L  is equal to 0.   y L  is equal to sbHeight+1.   
               Otherwise, the prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[xL][yL] is derived by invoking the luma sample 8-tap interpolation filtering process as specified in clause 8.5.6.3.2 with (xIntL−(brdExtSize&gt;0?1:0), yIntL−(brdExtSize&gt;0?1:0)), (xFracL, yFracL), (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ), refPicLX, hpelIfIdx, sbWidth, sbHeight and (xSb, ySb) as inputs.       Otherwise (cIdx is not equal to 0), the following applies:
           Let (xIntC, yIntC) be a chroma location given in full-sample units and (xFracC, yFracC) be an offset given in 1/32 sample units. These variables are used only in this clause for specifying general fractional-sample locations inside the reference sample arrays refPicLX.   The top-left coordinate of the bounding block for reference sample padding (xSbIntC, ySbIntC) is set equal to ((xSb/SubWidthC)+(mvLX[0]&gt;&gt;5), (ySb/SubHeightC)+(mvLX[1]&gt;&gt;5)).   For each chroma sample location (xC=0 . . . sbWidth−1, yC=0 . . . sbHeight−1) inside the prediction chroma sample arrays predSamplesLX, the corresponding prediction chroma sample value predSamplesLX[xC][yC] is derived as follows:
               Let (refxSb C , refySb C ) and (refx C , refy C ) be chroma locations pointed to by a motion vector (mvLX[0], mvLX[1]) given in 1/32-sample units. The variables refxSb C , refySb C , refx C  and refy C  are derived as follows:   
               
               

       ref x Sb C =(( x Sb/SubWidth C &lt;&lt;5)+mv LX [0])*hori_scale_fp  (8-763)
 
       ref x   C =((Sign(ref x Sb C )*((Abs(ref x Sb C )+256)&gt;&gt;9)+ xC *((hori_scale_fp+8)&gt;&gt;4))+16)&gt;&gt;5  (8-764)
 
       ref y Sb C =(( y Sb/SubHeight C &lt;&lt;5)+mv LX [1])*vert_scale_fp  (8-765)

                 The variables xInt C , yInt C , xFrac C  and yFrac C  are derived as follows:               

         x Int C =ref x   C &gt;&gt;5  (8-767)
 
         y Int C =ref y   C &gt;&gt;5  (8-768)

         y Frac C =ref y   C &amp;31  (8-770)
             The prediction sample value predSamplesLX[xC][yC] is derived by invoking the process specified in clause 8.5.6.3.4 with (xIntC, yIntC), (xFracC, yFracC), (xSbIntC, ySbIntC), sbWidth, sbHeight and refPicLX as inputs.           

     8.5.6.3.2 Luma Sample Interpolation Filtering Process 
     Inputs to this process are:
         a luma location in full-sample units (xInt L , yInt L ),   a luma location in fractional-sample units (xFrac L , yFrac L ),   a luma location in full-sample units (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ) specifying the top-left sample of the bounding block for reference sample padding relative to the top-left luma sample of the reference picture,   the luma reference sample array refPicLX L ,   the half sample interpolation filter index hpelIfIdx,   a variable sbWidth specifying the width of the current subblock,   a variable sbHeight specifying the height of the current subblock,   a luma location (xSb, ySb) specifying the top-left sample of the current subblock relative to the top-left luma sample of the current picture,       

     Output of this process is a predicted luma sample value predSampleLX L    
     The variables shift1, shift2 and shift3 are derived as follows:
         The variable shift1 is set equal to Min(4, BitDepth Y −8), the variable shift2 is set equal to 6 and the variable shift3 is set equal to Max(2, 14−BitDepth Y ).   The variable picW is set equal to pic_width_in_luma_samples and the variable picH is set equal to pic_height_in_luma_samples.       

     The luma interpolation filter coefficients f L [p] for each 1/16 fractional sample position p equal to xFrac L  or yFrac L  are derived as follows:
         If MotionModelIdc[xSb][ySb] is greater than 0, and sbWidth and sbHeight are both equal to 4, the luma interpolation filter coefficients f L [p] are specified in Table 2.   Otherwise, the luma interpolation filter coefficients f L [p] are specified in Table 1 depending on hpelIfIdx.       

     The luma locations in full-sample units (xInt i , yInt i ) are derived as follows for i=0 . . . 7:
         If subpic_treated_as_pic_flag[SubPicIdx] is equal to 1, the following applies:       

         x Int i =Clip3(SubPicLeftBoundaryPos,SubPicRightBoundaryPos, x Int L   +i −3)  (8−771)
 
         y Int i =Clip3(SubPicTopBoundaryPos,SubPicBotBoundaryPos, y Int L   +i −3)  (8−772)
         Otherwise (subpic_treated_as_pic_flag[SubPicIdx] is equal to 0), the following applies:       

         x Int i =Clip3(0,pic W −1,sps_ref_wraparound_enabled_flag?Clip H ((sps_ref_wraparound_offset_minus1+1)*MinCbSize Y ,pic W,x Int L   +i −3): x Int L   +i −3)  (8-773)
 
         y Int i =Clip3(0,pic H −1 ,y Int L   +i −3)  (8-774)
 
     The luma locations in full-sample units are further modified as follows for i=0 . . . 7: 
         x Int i =Clip3( x SbInt L −3 ,x SbInt L +sbWidth+4 ,x Int i )  (8-775)
 
         y Int i =Clip3( y SbInt L −3 ,y SbInt L +sbHeight+4 ,y Int i )  (8-776)
 
     The predicted luma sample value predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:
         If both xFrac L  and yFrac L  are equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   L =refPic LX   L [ x Int 3 ][ y Int 3 ]&lt;&lt;shift3  (8-777)
         Otherwise, if xFrac L  is not equal to 0 and yFrac L  is equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   L =(Σ i=0   7   f   L [ x Frac L ][ i ]*refPic LX   L [ x Int i ][ y Int 3 ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-778)
         Otherwise, if xFrac L  is equal to 0 and yFrac L  is not equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   L =(Σ i=0   7   f   L [ y Frac L ][ i ]*refPic LX   L [ x Int 3 ][ y Int i ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-779)
         Otherwise, if xFrac L  is not equal to 0 and yFrac L  is not equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:
           The sample array temp[n] with n=0 . . . 7, is derived as follows:   
               

       temp[ n ]=(Σ i=0   7   f   L [ x Frac L ][ i ]*refPic LX   L [ x Int i ][ y Int n ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-780)
             The predicted luma sample value predSampleLX L  is derived as follows:

     8.5.6.3.3 Luma Integer Sample Fetching Process 
     Inputs to this process are:
         a luma location in full-sample units (xInt L , yInt L )   the luma reference sample array refPicLX L ,       

     Output of this process is a predicted luma sample value predSampleLX L    
     The variable shift is set equal to Max(2, 14−BitDepth Y ). 
     The variable picW is set equal to pic_width_in_luma_samples and the variable picH is set equal to pic_height_in_luma_samples. 
     The luma locations in full-sample units (xInt, yInt) are derived as follows: 
         x Int=Clip3(0,pic W −1,sps_ref_wraparound_enabled_flag?Clip H ((sps_ref_wraparound_offset_minus1+1)*MinCbSize Y ,pic W,x Int L ): x Int L )  (8-782)
 
         y Int=Clip3(0,pic H −1 ,y Int L )  (8-783)
 
     The predicted luma sample value predSampleLX L  is derived as follows: 
       predSample LX   L =refPic LX   L [ x Int][ y Int]&lt;&lt;shift3   (8-784)
 
     8.5.6.3.4 Chroma Sample Interpolation Process 
     Inputs to this process are:
         a chroma location in full-sample units (xInt C , yInt C ),   a chroma location in 1/32 fractional-sample units (xFrac C , yFrac C ),   a chroma location in full-sample units (xSbIntC, ySbIntC) specifying the top-left sample of the bounding block for reference sample padding relative to the top-left chroma sample of the reference picture,   a variable sbWidth specifying the width of the current subblock,   a variable sbHeight specifying the height of the current subblock,   the chroma reference sample array refPicLX C .       

     Output of this process is a predicted chroma sample value predSampleLX C    
     The variables shift1, shift2 and shift3 are derived as follows:
         The variable shift1 is set equal to Min(4, BitDepth C −8), the variable shift2 is set equal to 6 and the variable shift3 is set equal to Max(2, 14−BitDepth C ).   The variable picW C  is set equal to pic_width_in_luma_samples/SubWidthC and the variable picH C  is set equal to pic_height_in_luma_samples/SubHeightC.       

     The chroma interpolation filter coefficients f C [p] for each 1/32 fractional sample position p equal to xFrac C  or yFrac C  are specified in Table 3. 
     The variable xOffset is set equal to (sps_ref_wraparound_offset_minus1+1)*MinCbSizeY)/SubWidthC. 
     The chroma locations in full-sample units (xInt i , yInt i ) are derived as follows for i=0 . . . 3:
         If subpic_treated_as_pic_flag[SubPicIdx] is equal to 1, the following applies:       

         x Int i =Clip3(SubPicLeftBoundaryPos/SubWidth C ,SubPicRightBoundaryPos/SubWidth C,x Int L   +i )   (8-785)
 
         y Int i =Clip3(SubPicTopBoundaryPos/SubHeight C ,SubPicBotBoundaryPos/SubHeight C,y Int L   +i )   (8-786)
         Otherwise (subpic_treated_as_pic_flag[SubPicIdx] is equal to 0), the following applies:       

         x Int i =Clip3(0,pic W   C −1,sps_ref_wraparound_enabled_flag?Clip H ( x Offset,pic W   C   ,x Int C   +i −1): x Int C   +i −1)  (8-787)
 
         y Int i =Clip3(0,pic H   C −1 ,y Int C   +i −1)  (8-788)
 
     The chroma locations in full-sample units (xInt i , yInt i ) are further modified as follows for i=0 . . . 3: 
         x Int i =Clip3( x SbInt C −1 ,x SbInt C +sbWidth+2 ,x Int i )  (8-789)
 
         y Int i =Clip3( y SbInt C −1 ,y SbInt C +sbHeight+2 ,y Int i )  (8-790)
 
     The predicted chroma sample value predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:
         If both xFrac C  and yFrac C  are equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   C =refPic LX   C [ x Int i ][ y Int i ]&lt;&lt;shift3  (8-791)
         Otherwise, if xFrac C  is not equal to 0 and yFrac C  is equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   C =(Σ i=1   3   f   C [ x Frac C ][ i ]*refPic LX   C [ x Int i ][ y Int i ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-792)
         Otherwise, if xFrac C  is equal to 0 and yFrac C  is not equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:       

       predSample LX   C =(Σ i=0   3   f   C [ y Frac C ][ i ]*refPic LX   C [ x Int i ][ y Int i ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-793)
         Otherwise, if xFrac C  is not equal to 0 and yFrac C  is not equal to 0, the value of predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:
           The sample array temp[n] with n=0 . . . 3, is derived as follows:   
               

       temp[ n ]=(Σ i=0   3   f   C [ x Frac C ][ i ]*refPic LX   C [ x Int i ][ y Int i ])&gt;&gt;shift1  (8-794)
             The predicted chroma sample value predSampleLX C  is derived as follows:           

       predSample LX   C =( f   C [ y Frac C ][0]*temp[0]+ f   C [ y Frac C ][1]*temp[1]+ f   C [ y Frac C ][2]*temp[2]+ f   C [ y Frac C ][3]*temp[3])&gt;&gt;shift2  (8-795)

     2.5. Refined Sub-Block Based Affine Motion Compensated Prediction 
     The techniques disclosed herein include a method to refine the sub-block based affine motion compensated prediction with optical flow. After the sub-block based affine motion compensation is performed, prediction sample is refined by adding a difference derived by the optical flow equation, which is referred as prediction refinement with optical flow (PROF). The proposed method can achieve inter prediction in pixel level granularity without increasing the memory access bandwidth. 
     To achieve a finer granularity of motion compensation, this contribution proposes a method to refine the sub-block based affine motion compensated prediction with optical flow. After the sub-block based affine motion compensation is performed, luma prediction sample is refined by adding a difference derived by the optical flow equation. The proposed PROF (prediction refinement with optical flow) is described as following four steps. 
     Step 1) The sub-block-based affine motion compensation is performed to generate sub-block prediction I(i,j).
 
Step 2) The spatial gradients g x (i,j) and g y (i,j) of the sub-block prediction are calculated at each sample location using a 3-tap filter[−1, 0, 1].
 
         g   x ( i,j )= I ( i+ 1, j )− I ( i− 1, j )
 
         g   y ( i,j )= I ( i,j+ 1)− I ( i,j− 1)
 
     The sub-block prediction is extended by one pixel on each side for the gradient calculation. To reduce the memory bandwidth and complexity, the pixels on the extended borders are copied from the nearest integer pixel position in the reference picture. Therefore, additional interpolation for padding region is avoided. 
     Step 3) The luma prediction refinement (denoted ΔI) as is calculated by the optical flow equation. 
       Δ I ( i,j )= g   x ( i,j )*Δ v   x ( i,j )+ g   y ( i,j )*Δ v   y ( i,j )
 
     where the delta MV (denoted as Δv(i,j)) is the difference between pixel MV computed for sample location (i,j), denoted by v(i,j), and the sub-block MV of the sub-block to which pixel (i,j) belongs, as shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     Since the affine model parameters and the pixel location relative to the sub-block center are not changed from sub-block to sub-block, Δv(i,j) can be calculated for the first sub-block, and reused for other sub-blocks in the same CU. Let x and y be the horizontal and vertical offset from the pixel location to the center of the sub-block, Δv(x, y) can be derived by the following equation,

Step 4) Finally, the luma prediction refinement is added to the sub-block prediction I(i,j). The final prediction I′ is generated as the following equation.
 
         I ′( i,j )= I ( i,j )+Δ I ( i,j )
 
     Some details are described below: 
     a) How to Derive the Gradients for PROF 
     In some embodiments, the gradients are calculated for each sub-block (4×4 sub-block in VTM-4.0) for each reference list. For each sub-block, the nearest integer samples of the reference block are fetched to pad the four side outer lines of samples. 
     Suppose the MV for the current sub-block is (MVx, MVy). Then the fractional part is calculated as (FracX, FracY)=(MVx&amp;15, MVy&amp;15). The integer part is calculated as (IntX, IntY)=(MVx&gt;&gt;4, MVy&gt;&gt;4). The offsets (OffsetX, OffsetY) are derived as: 
       Offset X =Frac X &gt;7?1:0; 
       Offset Y =Frac Y &gt;7?1:0; 
     Suppose the top-left coordinate of the current sub-block is (xCur, yCur) and the dimensions of the current sub-block is W×H. Then (xCor0, yCor0), (xCor1, yCor1), (xCor2, yCor2) and (xCor3, yCor3) are calculated as: 
       ( x Cor0 ,y Cor0)=( x Cur+Int X +Offset X −1 ,y Cur+Int Y +Offset Y −1);
 
       ( x Cor1 ,y Cor1)=( x Cur+Int X +Offset X −1 ,y Cur+Int Y +Offset Y+H );
 
       ( x Cor2 ,y Cor2)=( x Cur+Int X +Offset X −1 ,y Cur+Int Y +Offset Y );
 
       ( x Cor3 ,y Cor3)=( x Cur+Int X +Offset X+W,y Cur+Int Y +Offset Y ); 
     Suppose PredSample[x][y] with x=0 . . . W−1, y=0 . . . H−1 stores the prediction samples for the sub-block. Then the padding samples are derived as: 
       PredSample[ x ][−1]=(Ref( x Cor0 +x,y Cor0)&lt;&lt;Shift0)−Rounding, for  x =−1  . . . W;  
 
       PredSample[ x ][ H ]=(Ref( x Cor1 +x,y Cor1)&lt;&lt;Shift0)−Rounding, for  x =−1  . . . W;  
 
       PredSample[−1][ y ]=(Ref( x Cor2 ,y Cor2 +y )&lt;&lt;Shift0)−Rounding, for  y =0  . . . H −1;
 
       PredSample[ W ][ y ]=(Ref( x Cor3 ,y Cor3 +y )&lt;&lt;Shift0)−Rounding, for  y =0  . . . H −1;
 
     where Rec represents the reference picture. Rounding is an integer, which is equal to 2 13  in the exemplary PROF implementation. Shift0=Max(2, (14−BitDepth)); PROF attempts to increase the precision of the gradients, unlike BIO in VTM-4.0, where the gradients are output with the same precision as input luma samples. 
     The gradients in PROF are calculated as below: 
       Shift1=Shift0−4.
 
       gradient H [ x ][ y ]=(predSamples[ x+ 1][ y ]−predSample[ x− 1][ y ])&gt;&gt;Shift1
 
       gradient V [ x ][ y ]=(predSample[ x ][ y+ 1]−predSample[ x ][ y− 1])&gt;&gt;Shift1
 
     It should be noted that predSamples[x][y] keeps the precision after interpolation. 
     b) How to Derive Δv for PROF 
     The derivation of Δv (denoted as dMvH[posX][posY] and dMvV[posX][posY] with posX=0 . . . W−1, posY=0 . . . H−1) can be described as below. 
     Suppose the dimensions of the current block is cbWidth×cbHeight, the number of control point motion vectors is numCpMv, and the control point motion vectors are cpMvLX[cpIdx], with cpIdx=0 . . . numCpMv−1 and X being 0 or 1 representing the two reference lists. 
     The variables log 2CbW and log 2CbH are derived as follows: 
       log 2Cb W =Log 2(cbWidth) 
       log 2Cb H =Log 2(cbHeight) 
     The variables mvScaleHor, mvScaleVer, dHorX and dVerX are derived as follows: 
       mvScaleHor=cpMv LX [0][0]&lt;&lt;7 
       mvScaleVer=cpMv LX [0][1]&lt;&lt;7 
         d Hor X =(cpMv LX [1][0]−cpMv LX [0][0])&lt;&lt;(7−log 2Cb W )
 
         d Ver X =(cpMv LX [1][1]−cpMv LX [0][1])&lt;&lt;(7−log 2Cb W )
 
     The variables dHorY and dVerY are derived as follows:
         If numCpMv is equal to 3, the following applies:       

         d Hor Y =(cpMv LX [2][0]−cpMv LX [0][0])&lt;&lt;(7−log 2Cb H )
 
         d Ver Y =(cpMv LX [2][1]−cpMv LX [0][1])&lt;&lt;(7−log 2Cb H )
         Otherwise (numCpMv is equal to 2), the following applies:       

         d Hor Y=−d Ver X    
         d Ver Y=d Hor X    
     The variable qHorX, qVerX, qHorY and qVerY are derived as: 
         q Hor X=d Hor X &lt;&lt;2; 
         q Ver X=d Ver X &lt;&lt;2; 
         q Hor Y=d Hor Y &lt;&lt;2; 
         q Ver Y=d Ver Y &lt;&lt;2; 
     dMvH[0][0] and dMvV[0][0] are calculated as: 
         d Mv H [0][0]=(( d Hor X+d Hor Y )&lt;&lt;1)−(( q Hor X+q Hor Y )&lt;&lt;1);
 
         d Mv V [0][0]=(( d Ver X+d Ver Y )&lt;&lt;1)−(( q Ver X+q Ver Y )&lt;&lt;1);
 
     dMvH[xPos][0] and dMvV[xPos][0] for xPos from 1 to W−1 are derived as: 
         d Mv H [ x Pos][0]= d Mv H [ x Pos−1][0]+ q Hor X;  
 
         d Mv V [ x Pos][0]= d Mv V [ x Pos−1][0]+ q Ver X;  
 
     For yPos from 1 to H−1, the following applies: 
         d Mv H [ x Pos][ y Pos]= d Mv H [ x Pos][ y Pos−1]+ q Hor Y  with  x Pos=0  . . . W −1
 
         d Mv V [ x Pos][ y Pos]= d Mv V [ x Pos][ y Pos−1]+ q Ver Y  with  x Pos=0  . . . W −1
 
     Finally, dMvH[xPos][yPos] and dMvV[xPos][yPos] with posX=0 . . . W−1, posY=0 . . . H−1 are right shifted as: 
         d Mv H [ x Pos][ y Pos]=SatShift( d Mv H [ x Pos][ y Pos],7+2−1);
 
         d Mv V [ x Pos][ y Pos]=SatShift( d Mv V [ x Pos][ y Pos],7+2−1);
 
     where SatShift(x, n) and Shift (x,n) is defined as: 
               SatShift   ⁡     (     x   ,   n     )       =     {               (     x   +     offset   ⁢           ⁢   0       )     ⁢           ⁢     &gt;&gt;     ⁢           ⁢   n   ⁢           ⁢   if   ⁢           ⁢   x     ≥   0                   -     (       (       -   x     +     offset   ⁢           ⁢   1       )     ⁢           ⁢     &gt;&gt;     ⁢           ⁢   n     )       ⁢           ⁢   if   ⁢           ⁢   x     &lt;   0                   Shift( x,n )=( x +offset0)&gt;&gt; n    
     In one example, offset0 and/or offset1 are set to (1&lt;&lt;n)&gt;&gt;1. 
     c) How to derive ΔI for PROF 
     For a position (posX, posY) inside a sub-block, its corresponding Δv(i,j) is denoted as (dMvH[posX][posY], dMvV[posX][posY]). Its corresponding gradients are denoted as (gradientH[posX][posY], gradientV[posX][posY]). 
     Then ΔI(posX, posY) is derived as follows. 
     (dMvH[posX][posY], dMvV[posX][posY]) are clipped as: 
         d Mv H [pos X ][pos Y ]=Clip3(−32768,32767 ,d Mv H [pos X ][pos Y ]);
 
         d Mv V [pos X ][pos Y ]=Clip3(−32768,32767 ,d Mv V [pos X ][pos Y ]);
 
       Δ I (pos X ,pos Y )= d Mv H [pos X ][pos Y ]×gradient H [pos X ][pos Y ]+ d Mv V [pos X ][pos Y ]×gradient V [pos X ][pos Y ];
 
       Δ I (pos X ,pos Y )=Shift(Δ I (pos X ,pos Y ),1+1+4);
 
       Δ I (pos X ,pos Y )=Clip3(−(2 13 −1),2 13 −1 ,ΔI (pos X ,pos Y ));
 
     d) How to derive I′ for PROF 
     If the current block is not coded as bi-prediction or weighted-prediction, 
         I ′(pos X ,pos Y )=Shift(( I (pos X ,pos Y )+Δ I (pos X ,pos Y )),Shift0),
 
         I ′(pos X ,pos Y )=ClipSample( I ′(pos X ,pos Y )),
 
     where ClipSample clips a sample value to a valid output sample value. Then I′ (posX, posY) is output as the inter-prediction value. 
     Otherwise (the current block is coded as bi-prediction or weighted-prediction). I′ (posX, posY) will be stored and used to generate the inter-prediction value according to other prediction values and/or weighting values.

     2.10. Example Picture Header 
     In some embodiments, the picture header is designed to have the following properties: 
     1. Temporal Id and layer Id of picture header NAL unit are the same as temporal Id and layer Id of layer access unit that contains the picture header. 
     2. Picture header NAL unit shall precede NAL unit containing the first slice of its associated picture. This established the association between a picture header and slices of picture associated with the picture header without the need of having picture header Id signalled in picture header and referred to from slice header. 
     3. Picture header NAL unit shall follow picture level parameter sets or higher level such as DPS, VPS, SPS, PPS, etc. This consequently requires those parameter sets to be not repeated/present within a picture or within an access unit. 
     4. Picture header contains information about picture type of its associated picture. The picture type may be used to define the following (not an exhaustive list) 
     a. The picture is an IDR picture 
     b. The picture is a CRA picture 
     c. The picture is a GDR picture 
     d. The picture is a non-IRAP, non-GDR picture and contains I-slices only 
     e. The picture is a non-IRAP, non-GDR picture and may contain P- and I-slices only 
     f. The picture is a non-IRAP, non-GDR picture and contains any of B-, P-, and/or I-slices 
     5. Move signalling of picture level syntax elements in slice header to picture header. 
     6. Signal non-picture level syntax elements in slice header that are typically the same for all slices of the same picture in picture header. When those syntax elements are not present in picture header, they may be signalled in slice header. 
     In some implementations, a mandatory picture header concept is used to be transmitted once per picture as the first VCL NAL unit of a picture. It is also proposed to move syntax elements currently in the slice header to this picture header. Syntax elements that functionally only need to be transmitted once per picture could be moved to the picture header instead of being transmitted multiple times for a given picture, e.g., syntax elements in the slice header are transmitted once per slice. Moving slice header syntax elements constrained to be the same within a picture 
     The syntax elements are already constrained to be the same in all slices of a picture. It is asserted that moving these fields to the picture header so they are signalled only once per picture instead of once per slice avoids unnecessary redundant transmission of bits without any change to the functionality of these syntax elements. 
     1. In some implementations, there is the following semantic constraint: 
     When present, the value of each of the slice header syntax elements slice_pic_parameter_set_id, non_reference_picture_flag, colour_plane_id, slice_pic_order_cnt_lsb, recovery_poc_cnt, no_output_of_prior_pics_flag, pic_output flag, and slice temporal_mvp_enabled_flag shall be the same in all slice headers of a coded picture. Thus each of these syntax elements could be moved to the picture header to avoid unnecessary redundant bits. 
     The recovery_poc_cnt and no_output_of_prior_pics_flag are not moved to the picture header in this contribution. Their presence in the slice header is dependent on a conditional check of the slice header nal_unit_type, so they are suggested to be studied if there is a desire to move these syntax elements to the picture header. 
     2. In some implementations, there are the following semantic constraints: 
     When present, the value of slice_lmcs_aps_id shall be the same for all slices of a picture. 
     When present, the value of slice_scaling_list_aps_id shall be the same for all slices of a picture. Thus each of these syntax elements could be moved to the picture header to avoid unnecessary redundant bits. 
     In some embodiments, the syntax elements are not currently constrained to be the same in all slices of a picture. It is suggested to assess the anticipated usage of these syntax elements to determine which can be moved into the picture header to simplify the overall VVC design as it is claimed there is a complexity impact to processing a large number of syntax elements in every slice header. 
     1. The following syntax elements are proposed to be moved to the picture header. There are currently no restrictions on them having different values for different slices but it is claimed there is no/minimal benefit and coding loss to transmitting them in every slice header as their anticipated usage would change at the picture level: 
     a. six_minus_max_num_merge_cand 
     b. five_minus_max_num_subblock_merge_cand 
     c. slice_fpel_mmvd_enabled_flag 
     d. slice_disable_bdof_dmvr_flag 
     e. max_num_merge_cand_minus_max_num_triangle_cand 
     f. slice_six_minus_max_num_ibc_merge_cand 
     2. The following syntax elements are proposed to be moved to the picture header. There are currently no restrictions on them having different values for different slices but it is claimed there is no/minimal benefit and coding loss to transmitting them in every slice header as their anticipated usage would change at the picture level: 
     a. partition_constraints_override_flag 
     b. slice_log 2_diff_min_qt_min_cb_luma 
     c. slice_max_mtt_hierarchy_depth_luma 
     d. slice_log 2_diff_max_bt_min_qt_luma 
     e. slice_log 2_diff_max_tt_min_qt_luma 
     f. slice_log 2_diff_min_qt_min_cb_chroma 
     g. slice_max_mtt_hierarchy_depth_chroma 
     h. slice_log 2_diff_max_bt_min_qt_chroma 
     i. slice_log 2_diff_max_tt_min_qt_chroma 
     The conditional check “slice_type==I” associated with some of these syntax elements has been removed with the move to the picture header. 
     3. The following syntax elements are proposed to be moved to the picture header. There are currently no restrictions on them having different values for different slices but it is claimed there is no/minimal benefit and coding loss to transmitting them in every slice header as their anticipated usage would change at the picture level:
         a. mvd_l1_zero flag       

     The conditional check “slice_type==B” associated with some of these syntax elements has been removed with the move to the picture header. 
     4. The following syntax elements are proposed to be moved to the picture header. There are currently no restrictions on them having different values for different slices but it is claimed there is no/minimal benefit and coding loss to transmitting them in every slice header as their anticipated usage would change at the picture level: 
     a. dep_quant_enabled_flag 
     b. sign_data_hiding_enabled_flag 
     3. Drawbacks of Existing Implementations 
     DMVR and BIO do not involve the original signal during refining the motion vectors, which may result in coding blocks with inaccurate motion information. Also, DMVR and BIO sometimes employ the fractional motion vectors after the motion refinements while screen videos usually have integer motion vectors, which makes the current motion information more inaccurate and make the coding performance worse. 
     When RPR is applied in VVC, RPR (ARC) may have the following problems: 
     1. With RPR, the interpolation filters may be different for adjacent samples in a block, which is undesirable in SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) implementation. 
     2. The bounding region does not consider RPR. 
     3. It is noted that “The conformance cropping window offset parameters are only applied at the output. All internal decoding processes are applied to the uncropped picture size.” However, those parameters may be used in the decoding process when RPR is applied. 
     4. When deriving the reference sample position, RPR only considers the ratio between two conformance windows. But the top-left offset difference between two conformance windows should also be considered. 
     5. The ratio between the width/height of a reference picture and that of the current picture is constrained in VVC. However, the ratio between the width/height of the conformance window of a reference picture and that of the conformance window of the current picture is not constrained. 
     6. Not all the syntax elements are handled properly in the picture header. 
     7. In current VVC, for TPM, GEO prediction mode, the chroma blending weights are derived regardless of the chroma sample location type of a video sequence. For example, in TPM/GEO, if chroma weights are derived from luma weights, the luma weights may be needed to be downsampled to match the sampling of the chroma signal. The chroma downsampling are normally applied assumes the chroma sample location type 0, which is widely used in ITU-R BT.601 or ITU-R BT.709 container. However, if a different chroma sample location type is used, this could result in a misalignment between the chroma samples and the downsampled luma samples, which may reduce the coding performance. 
     4. Example Techniques and Embodiments 
     The detailed embodiments described below should be considered as examples to explain general concepts. These embodiments should not be interpreted narrowly way. Furthermore, these embodiments can be combined in any manner. 
     The methods described below may be also applicable to other decoder motion information derivation technologies in addition to the DMVR and BIO mentioned below. 
     A motion vector is denoted by (mv_x, mv_y) wherein mv_x is the horizontal component and mv_y is the vertical component. 
     In this disclosure, the resolution (or dimensions, or width/height, or size) of a picture may refer to the resolution (or dimensions, or width/height, or size) of the coded/decoded picture, or may refer to the resolution (or dimensions, or width/height, or size) of the conformance window in the coded/decoded picture.

             1. When the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or when the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger that of the current picture, predicted values for a group of samples (at least two samples) of a current block may be generated with the same horizontal and/or vertical interpolation filter.
           a. In one example, the group may comprise all samples in a region of the block.
               i. For example, a block may be divided into S M×N rectangles not overlapped with each other. Each M×N rectangle is a group. In an example as shown in  FIG. 2 , a 16×16 block can be divided into 16 4×4 rectangles, each of which is a group.   ii. For example, a row with N samples is a group. N is an integer no larger than the block width. In one example, N is 4 or 8 or the block width.   iii. For example, a column with N samples is a group. N is an integer no larger than the block height. In one example, N is 4 or 8 or the block height.   iv. M and/or N may be pre-defined or derived on-the-fly, such as based on block dimension/coded information or signaled.   
               b. In one example, samples in the group may have the same MV (denoted as shared MV).   c. In one example, samples in the group may have MVs with the same horizontal component (denoted as shared horizontal component).   d. In one example, samples in the group may have MVs with the same vertical component (denoted as shared vertical component).   e. In one example, samples in the group may have MVs with the same fractional part of the horizontal component (denoted as shared fractional horizontal component).
               i. For example, suppose the MV for a first sample is (MV1x, MV1y) and the MV for a second sample is (MV2x, MV2y), it should be satisfied that MV1x &amp; (2 M −1) is equal to MV2x &amp; (2 M −1), where M denotes MV precision. For example, M=4.   
               f. In one example, samples in the group may have MVs with the same fractional part of the vertical component (denoted as shared fractional vertical component).
               i. For example, suppose the MV for a first sample is (MV1x, MV1y) and the MV for a second sample is (MV2x, MV2y), it should be satisfied that MV1y &amp; (2 M −1) is equal to MV2y &amp; (2 M −1), where M denotes MV precision. For example, M=4.   
               g. In one example, for a sample in the group to be predicted, the motion vector, denoted by MV b , may be firstly derived according to the resolutions of the current picture and the reference picture (e.g. (refx L , refy L ) derived in 8.5.6.3.1 in JVET-02001-v14). Then, MV b  may be further modified (e.g., being rounded/truncated/clipped) to MV′ to satisfy the requirements such as the above bullets, and MV′ will be used to derive the prediction sample for the sample.
               i. In one example, MV′ has the same integer part as MV b , and the fractional part of the MV′ is set to be the shared fractional horizontal and/or vertical component.   ii. In one example, MV′ is set to be the one with the shared fractional horizontal and/or vertical component, and closest to MV b .   
               h. The shared motion vector (and/or shared horizontal component and/or shared vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component) may be set to be the motion vector (and/or horizontal component and/or vertical component and/or fractional vertical component and/or fractional vertical component) of a specific sample in the group.
               i. For example, the specific sample may be at a corner of a rectangle-shaped group, such as “A”, “B’, “C” and “D” shown in  FIG. 3A .   ii. For example, the specific sample may be at a center of a rectangle-shaped group, such as “E”, “F’, “G” and “H” shown in  FIG. 3A .   iii. For example, the specific sample may be at an end of a row-shaped or column-shaped group, such as “A” and “D” shown in  FIGS. 3B and 3C .   iv. For example, the specific sample may be at a middle of a row-shaped or column-shaped group, such as “B” and “C” shown in  FIGS. 3B and 3C .   v. In one example, the motion vector of the specific sample may be the MV b  mentioned in bullet g.   
               i. The shared motion vector (and/or shared horizontal component and/or shared vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component) may be set to be the motion vector (and/or horizontal component and/or vertical component and/or fractional vertical component and/or fractional vertical component) of a virtual sample located at a different position compared to all samples in this group.
               i. In one example, the virtual sample is not in the group, but it locates in the region covering all samples in the group.
                   1) Alternatively, the virtual sample is located outside the region covering all samples in the group, e.g., next to the bottom-right position of the region.   
                   ii. In one example, the MV of a virtual sample is derived in the same way as a real sample but with different positions.   iii. “V” in  FIGS. 3A-3C  shows three examples of virtual samples.   
               j. The shared MV (and/or shared horizontal component and/or shared vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component) may be set to be a function of MVs (and/or horizontal components and/or vertical components and/or fractional vertical components and/or fractional vertical components) of multiple samples and/or virtual samples.
               i. For example, the shared MV (and/or shared horizontal component and/or shared vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component and/or shared fractional vertical component) may be set to be the average of MVs (and/or horizontal components and/or vertical components and/or fractional vertical components and/or fractional vertical components) of all or partial of samples in the group, or of sample “E”, “F”, “G”, “H” in  FIG. 3A , or of sample “E”, “H” in  FIG. 3A , or of sample “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” in  FIG. 3A , or of sample “A”, “D” in  FIG. 3A , or of sample “B”, “C” in  FIG. 3B , or of sample “A”, “D” in  FIG. 3B , or of sample “B”, “C” in  FIG. 3C , or of sample “A”, “D” in  FIG. 3C ,   
               
         
             2. It is proposed that only integer MVs are allowed to perform the motion compensation process to derive the prediction block of a current block when the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or when the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, the decoded motion vectors for samples to be predicted are rounded to integer MVs before being used.   b. In one example, the decoded motion vector for samples to be predicted are rounded to the integer MV that is closest to the decoded motion vector.   c. In one example, the decoded motion vector for samples to be predicted are rounded to the integer MV that is closest to the decoded motion vector in horizontal direction.   d. In one example, the decoded motion vector for samples to be predicted are rounded to the integer MV that is closest to the decoded motion vector in vertical direction.   
         
             3. The motion vectors used in the motion compensation process for samples in a current block (e.g., shared MV/shared horizontal or vertical or fractional component/MV′ mentioned in above bullets) may be stored in the decoded picture buffer and utilized for motion vector prediction of succeeding blocks in current/different pictures.
           a. Alternatively, the motion vectors used in the motion compensation process for samples in a current block (e.g., shared MV/shared horizontal or vertical or fractional component/MV′ mentioned in above bullets) may be disallowed to be utilized for motion vector prediction of succeeding blocks in current/different pictures.
               i. In one example, the decoded motion vectors (e.g., MV b  in above bullets) may be utilized for motion vector prediction of succeeding blocks in current/different pictures.   
               b. In one example, the motion vectors used in the motion compensation process for samples in a current block may be utilized in the filtering process (e.g., deblocking filter/SAO/ALF).
               i. Alternatively, the decoded motion vectors (e.g., MV b  in above bullets) may be utilized in the filtering process.   
               c. In one example, such MV may be derived at sub-block level and may be stored for each sub-block.   
         
             4. It is proposed that the interpolation filters used in the motion compensation process to derive the prediction block of a current block may be selected depending on whether the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or whether the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, the interpolation filters with less taps may be applied when condition A is satisfied, wherein condition A depends on the dimensions of the current picture and/or the reference picture.
               i. In one example, condition A is the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture.   ii. In one example, condition A is the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger than that of the current picture.   iii. In one example, condition A is W1&gt;a*W2 and/or H1&gt;b*H2, wherein (W1, H1) represents the width and height of the reference picture and (W2, H2) represents the width and height of the current picture, a and b are two factors, e.g. a=b=1.5.   iv. In one example, condition A may also depend on whether bi-prediction is used.   v. In one example, 1-tap filters are applied. In other words, an integer pixel without filtering is output as the interpolation result.   vi. In one example, bi-linear filters are applied when the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture.   vii. In one example, 4-tap filters or 6-tap filters are applied when the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger than that of the current picture.
                   1) The 6-tap filters may also be used for the affine motion compensation.   2) The 4-tap filters may also be used for interpolation for chroma samples.   
                   
               b. In one example, padding samples are used to perform interpolation when the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger that of the current picture.   c. Whether to and/or how to apply the methods disclosed in bullet 4 may depend on the color components.
               i. For example, the methods are only applied on the luma component.   
               d. Whether to and/or how to apply the methods disclosed in bullet 4 may depend on the interpolation filtering direction.
               i. For example, the methods are only applied on horizontal filtering.   ii. For example, the methods are only applied on vertical filtering.   
               
         
             5. It is proposed that a two-stage process for prediction block generation is applied when the resolution of the reference picture is different to the current picture, or when the width and/or height of the reference picture is larger that of the current picture.
           a. In the first stage, a virtual reference block is generated by up-sampling or down-sampling a region in the reference picture depending on width and/or height of the current picture and the reference picture.   b. In the second stage, the prediction samples are generated from the virtual reference block by applying interpolation filtering, independent of width and/or height of the current picture and the reference picture.   
         
             6. It is proposed that the calculation of top-left coordinate of the bounding block for reference sample padding (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ) as in some embodiments may be derived depending on width and/or height of the current picture and the reference picture.
           a. In one example, the luma locations in full-sample units are modified as:   
         
           
         
       
    
         x Int i =Clip3( x SbInt L   −Dx,x SbInt L +sbWidth+ Ux,x Int i ), 
         y Int i =Clip3( y SbInt L   −Dy,y SbInt L +sbHeight+ Uy,y Int i ),                 where Dx and/or Dy and/or Ux and/or Uy may depend on width and/or height of the current picture and the reference picture.       b. In one example, the chroma locations in full-sample units are modified as:           
         x Int i =Clip3( x SbInt C   −Dx,x SbInt C +sbWidth+ Ux,x Int i ) 
         y Int i =Clip3( y SbInt C   −Dy,y SbInt C +sbHeight+ Uy,y Int i )                 where Dx and/or Dy and/or Ux and/or Uy may depend on width and/or height of the current picture and the reference picture.           7. Instead of storing/using the motion vectors for a block based on the same reference picture resolution as current picture, it is proposed to use the real motion vectors with the resolution difference taken into consideration.
           a. Alternatively, furthermore, when using the motion vector to generate the prediction block, there is no need to further change the motion vector according to the resolutions of the current picture and the reference picture (e.g. (refx L , refy L )).   
               
     Interaction Between RPR and Other Coding Tools 
     
         
         
           
             8. Whether to/how to apply filtering process (e.g., deblocking filter) may depend on the resolutions of reference pictures and/or the resolution of the current picture.
           a. In one example, the boundary strength (BS) settings in the deblocking filters may take the resolution differences into consideration in addition to motion vector differences.
               i. In one example, the scaled motion vector difference according to the current and reference pictures&#39; resolutions may be used to determine the boundary strength.   
               b. In one example, the strength of deblocking filter for a boundary between block A and block B may be set differently (e.g., being increased/decreased) if the resolution of at least one reference picture of block A is different to (or smaller than or larger than) the resolution of at least one reference picture of block B compared to the case that same resolutions are utilized for the two blocks.   c. In one example, a boundary between block A and block B is marked as to be filtered (e.g., BS is set to 2) if the resolution of at least one reference picture of block A is different to (or smaller than or larger than) the resolution of at least one reference picture of block B.   d. In one example, the strength of deblocking filter for a boundary between block A and block B may be set differently (e.g., being increased/decreased) if the resolution of at least one reference picture of block A and/or block B is different to (or smaller than or larger than) the resolution of the current picture compared to the case same resolution is utilized of the reference picture and current picture.   e. In one example, a boundary between two blocks is marked to be filtered (e.g., BS is set to 2) if at least one reference picture of at least one block of the two has a resolution different to that of the current picture.   
         
             9. When a sub-picture exists, a conformance bitstream may should satisfy the reference picture must have the same resolution as the current picture.
           a. Alternatively, when a reference picture has a different resolution to the current picture, there must be no sub-picture in the current picture.   b. Alternatively, for a sub-picture in the current picture, it is disallowed to use a reference picture that is with different resolution as the current picture.
               i. Alternatively, furthermore, the reference picture management may be invoked to exclude those reference pictures with different resolutions.   
               
         
             10. In one example, sub-pictures (e.g., how to split one picture to multiple sub-pictures) may be defined separately for pictures with different resolutions.
           In one example, the corresponding sub-picture in the reference picture can be derived by scaling and/or offsetting a sub-picture of the current picture, if the reference picture has a different resolution to the current picture.   
         
             11. PROF (prediction refinement with optical flow) may be enabled when the reference picture has a resolution different to that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, one set of MV (denoted as MV g ) may be generated for a group of samples and may be used for motion compensation as described in bullet 1. On the other hand, MV (denoted as MV p ) may be derived for each sample, and the difference (e.g., corresponds to the Δv used in PROF) between the MV p  and MV g  together with the gradients (e.g., spatial gradients of the motion compensated blocks) may be used for deriving the prediction refinement.   b. In one example, MV p  may be with a different precision from MV g . For example, MV p  may be with 1/N-pel (N&gt;0) precision, N=32, 64 etc.   c. In one example, MV g  may be with a different precision form the internal MV precision (e.g., 1/16-pel).   d. In one example, the prediction refinement is added to the prediction block to generate refined prediction block.   e. In one example, such method may be applied in each prediction direction.   f. In one example, such method may be applied only in uni-prediction case.   g. In one example, such method may be applied in uni-prediction or/and bi-prediction.   h. In one example, such method may be applied only when the reference picture has a different resolution from the current picture.   
         
             12. It is proposed that only one MV may be utilized for a block/sub-block to perform the motion compensation process to derive the prediction block of a current block when the resolution of the reference picture is different to that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, the only MV for the block/sub-block may be defined as a function (e.g., average) of all MVs associated with each sample within the block/sub-block.   b. In one example, the only MV for the block/sub-block may be defined as a selected MV associated with a selected sample (e.g., center sample) within the block/sub-block.   c. In one example, only one MV may be utilized a 4×4 block or subblock (e.g., 4×1).   d. In one example, BIO may be further applied to compensate the precision loss due to a block-based motion vector.   
         
             13. A lazy mode without signalling any block-based motion vectors may be applied when the width and/or height of the reference picture is different from that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, no motion vectors may be signaled and the motion compensation process is to approximate the case of a pure resolution change of a still image.   b. In one example, only a motion vector at picture/tile/brick/CTU level may be signal and related blocks may use the motion vector when resolution changes.   
         
             14. PROF may be applied to approximate motion compensation when the width and/or height of the reference picture is different to that of the current picture for blocks coded with affine prediction mode and/or non-affine prediction mode.
           a. In one example, PROF may be enabled when the width and/or height of the reference picture and that of the current picture are different.   b. In one example, a set of affine motions may be generated by combining the indicated motion and resolution scaling and used by PROF.   
         
             15. Interweaved prediction (e.g. as proposed in JVET-K0102) may be applied to approximate motion compensation when the width and/or height of the reference picture is different to that of the current picture.
           a. In one example, resolution change (zooming) is represented as an affine motion, and interweaved motion prediction may be applied.   
         
             16. LMCS and/or chroma residual scaling may be disabled when the width and/or height of the current picture is different to that of the IRAP picture in a same IRAP period.
           a. In one example, when LMCS is disabled, the slice level flags such as slice_lmcs_enabled_flag, slice_lmcs_aps_id, and slice_chroma_residual_scale_flag may be not signaled and inferred to be 0.   b. In one example, when chroma residual scaling is disabled, the slice level flags such as slice_chroma_residual_scale_flag may be not signaled and inferred to be 0.   
         
           
         
       
    
     Constrains on RPR 
     
         
         
           
             17. RPR may be applied to coding blocks with block dimensions constrains.
           a. In one example, for an M×N coding block, with M as the block width and N as the block height, when M*N&lt;T or M*N&lt;=T (such as T=256), RPR may be not used.   b. In one example, when M&lt;K (or M&lt;=K) (such as K=16) and/or N&lt;L (or N&lt;=L) (such as L=16), RPR may be not used.   
         
             18. Bitstream conformance may be added to restrict the ratio between the width and/or height of an active reference picture (or its conformance window) and that of the current picture (or its conformance window). Suppose refPicW and refPicH denote the width and height of reference picture, curPicW and curPicH denote the width and height of current picture,
           a. In one example, when (refPicW÷curPicW) is equal to an integer number, the reference picture may be marked as active reference picture.
               i. Alternatively, when (refPicW÷curPicW) is equal to a factional number, the reference picture may be marked as not available.   
               b. In one example, when (refPicW÷curPicW) is equal to (X*n), where X denotes a fractional number such as X=½, and n denotes an integer number such as n=1, 2, 3, 4 . . . , the reference picture may be marked as active reference picture.
               i. In one example, when (refPicW÷curPicW) is not equal to (X*n), the reference picture may be marked as not available.   
               
         
             19. Whether to and/or how to enable a coding tool (e.g., bi-prediction/the whole triangular prediction mode (TPM)/blending process in TPM) for a M×N block may depend on the resolutions of reference pictures (or their conformance windows) and/or that of the current picture (or its conformance window).
           a. In one example, M*N&lt;T or M*N&lt;=T (such as T=64).   b. In one example, M&lt;K (or M&lt;=K) (such as K=16) and/or N&lt;L (or N&lt;=L) (such as L=16).   c. In one example, the coding tool is not allowed when width/height of at least one reference picture is different to the current picture,
               i. In one example, the coding tool is not allowed when width/height of at least one reference picture of the block is larger that of the current picture.   
               d. In one example, the coding tool is not allowed when width/height of each reference picture of the block is different to that of the current picture,
               i. In one example, the coding tool is not allowed when width/height of each reference pictures is larger that of the current picture.   
               e. Alternatively, furthermore, when the coding tool is not allowed, motion compensation may be conducted with one MV as a uni-prediction.   
         
           
         
       
    
     Conformance Window Related 
     
         
         
           
             20. The conformance cropping window offset parameters (e.g., conf_win_left_offset) are signaled in N-pel precision instead of 1-pel wherein N is an positive integers greater than 1.
           a. In one example, the actual offset may be derived as the signaled offset multiplied by N.   b. In one example, N is set to 4 or 8.   
         
             21. It is proposed that the conformance cropping window offset parameters are not only applied at the output. Certain internal decoding processes may depend on the cropped picture size (i.e., the resolution of a conformance window in a picture). 
             22. It is proposed that the conformance cropping window offset parameters in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) and in a second video unit may be different when the width and/or height of a picture denoted as (pic_width_in_luma_samples, pic_height_in_luma_samples) in the first video unit and second video unit are the same. 
             23. It is proposed that the conformance cropping window offset parameters in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) and in a second video unit should be the same in a conformance bitstream when the width and/or height of a picture denoted as (pic_width_in_luma_samples, pic_height_in_luma_samples) in the first video unit and second video unit are different.
           a. It is proposed that the conformance cropping window offset parameters in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) and in a second video unit should be the same in a conformance bitstream no matter the width and/or height of a picture denoted as (pic_width_in_luma_samples, pic_height_in_luma_samples) in the first video unit and second video unit are the same or not.   
         
             24. Suppose the width and height of the conformance window defined in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as W1 and H1, respectively. The width and height of the conformance window defined in a second video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as W2 and H2, respectively. The top-left position of the conformance window defined in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as X1 and Y1. The top-left position of the conformance window defined in a second video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as X2 and Y2. The width and height of the coded/decoded picture (e.g. pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_height_in_luma_samples) defined in a first video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as PW1 and PH1, respectively. The width and height of the coded/decoded picture defined in a second video unit (e.g. PPS) are denoted as PW2 and PH2.
           a. In one example, W1/W2 should be equal to X1/X2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, W1/X1 should be equal to W2/X2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, W1*X2 should be equal to W2*X1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               b. In one example, H1/H2 should be equal to Y1/Y2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, H1/Y1 should be equal to H2/Y2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, H1*Y2 should be equal to H2*Y1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               c. In one example, PW1/PW2 should be equal to X1/X2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, PW1/X1 should be equal to PW2/X2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, PW1*X2 should be equal to PW2*X1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               d. In one example, PH1/PH2 should be equal to Y1/Y2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, PH1/Y1 should be equal to PH2/Y2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, PH1*Y2 should be equal to PH2*Y1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               e. In one example, PW1/PW2 should be equal to W1/W2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, PW1/W1 should be equal to PW2/W2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, PW1*W2 should be equal to PW2*W1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               f. In one example, PH1/PH2 should be equal to H1/H2 in a conformance bitstream.
               i. Alternatively, PH1/H1 should be equal to PH2/H2 in a conformance bitstream.   ii. Alternatively, PH1*H2 should be equal to PH2*H1 in a conformance bitstream.   
               g. In a conformance bitstream, if PW1 is greater than PW2, W1 must be greater than W2.   h. In a conformance bitstream, if PW1 is smaller than PW2, W1 must be smaller than W2.   i. In a conformance bitstream, (PW1-PW2)*(W1-W2) must be no smaller than 0.   j. In a conformance bitstream, if PH1 is greater than PH2, H1 must be greater than H2.   k. In a conformance bitstream, if PH1 is smaller than PH2, H1 must be smaller than H2.   l. In a conformance bitstream, (PH1-PH2)*(H1-H2) must be no smaller than 0.   m. In a conformance bitstream, W1/W2 must be no larger than (or smaller than) PW1/PW2 if PW1&gt;=PW2.   n. In a conformance bitstream, H1/H2 must be no larger than (or smaller than) PH1/PH2 if PH1&gt;=PH2.   
         
             25. Suppose the width and height of the conformance window of the current picture are denoted as W and H, respectively. The width and height of the conformance window of a reference picture are denoted as W′ and H′, respectively. Then at least one constraint below should be followed by a conformance bit-stream.
           a. W*pw&gt;=W′; pw is an integer such as 2.   b. W*pw&gt;W′; pw is an integer such as 2.   c. W′*pw′&gt;=W; pw′ is an integer such as 8.   d. W′*pw′&gt;W; pw′ is an integer such as 8.   e. H*ph&gt;=H′; ph is an integer such as 2.   f. H*ph&gt;H′; ph is an integer such as 2.   g. H′*ph′&gt;=H; ph′ is an integer such as 8.   h. H′*ph′&gt;H; ph′ is an integer such as 8.   i. In one example, pw is equal to pw′.   j. In one example, ph is equal to ph′.   k. In one example, pw is equal to ph.   l. In one example, pw′ is equal to ph′.   m. In one example, the above sub-bullets may be required to be satisfied by a conformance bitstream when W and H represent the width and height of the current picture, respectively. W′ and H′ represent the width and height of a reference picture.   
         
             26. It is proposed that the conformance window parameters are partially signaled.
           a. In one example, the top-left sample in a conformance window of a picture is the same one as that in the picture.   b. For example, conf_win_left_offset as defined in VVC is not signaled and inferred to be zero.   c. For example, conf_win_top_offset as defined in VVC is not signaled and inferred to be zero.   
         
             27. It is proposed that the derivation of the position (e.g. (refx L , refy L ) as defined in VVC) of a reference sample may depend on the top-left position (e.g. (conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_top_offset) as defined in VVC) of the conformance window of the current picture and/or the reference picture.  FIG. 4  shows examples of the samples positions derived as in VVC (a) and in a proposed method (b). Dashed rectangles represent the conformance windows.
           a. In one example, the dependency exists only when the width and/or the height of the current picture and that of the reference picture are different.   b. In one example, the derivation of the horizontal position (e.g. refx L  as defined in VVC) of a reference sample may depend on the left position (e.g. conf_win_left_offset as defined in VVC) of the conformance window of the current picture and/or the reference picture.
               i. In one example, the horizontal position (denoted as xSb′) of the current sample relative to the top-left position of the conformance window in the current picture is calculated and used to derive the position of the reference sample.
                   1) For example, xSb′=xSb−(conf_win_left_offset&lt;&lt;Prec) is calculated and used to derive the position of the reference sample, wherein xSb represents the horizontal position of the current sample in the current picture. conf_win_left_offset represents the horizontal position of the top-left sample in the conformance window of the current picture. Prec presents the precision of xSb and xSb′ wherein (xSb&gt;&gt;Prec) may show the actual horizontal coordinate of current sample relative to the current picture. For example, Prec=0 or Prec=4.   
                   ii. In one example, horizontal position (denoted as Rx′) of the reference sample relative to the top-left position of the conformance window in the reference picture is calculated.
                   1) The calculation of Rx′ may depend on xSb′, and/or a motion vector, and/or a resampling ratio.   
                   iii. In one example, horizontal position (denoted as Rx) of the reference sample relative in the reference picture is calculated depending on Rx′.
                   1) For example, Rx=Rx′+(conf_win_left_offset_ref&lt;&lt;Prec) is calculated, wherein conf_win_left_offset_ref represents the horizontal position of the top-left sample in the conformance window of the reference picture. Prec presents the precision of Rx and Rx′. For example, Prec=0 or Prec=4.   
                   iv. In one example, Rx may be calculated directly depending on xSb′, and/or a motion vector, and/or a resampling ratio. In other words, the two steps of derivation on Rx′ and Rx are combined into a one-step calculation.   v. Whether to and/or how to use the left position (e.g. conf_win_left_offset as defined in VVC) of the conformance window of the current picture and/or the reference picture may depend on the color components and/or color formats.
                   1) For example, conf_win_left_offset may be revised as conf_win_left_offset=conf_win_left_offset*SubWidthC, wherein SubWidthC defines the horizontal sampling step of a color component. E.g., SubWidthC is equal to 1 for the luma component. SubWidthC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0 or 4:2:2.   2) For example, conf_win_left_offset may be revised as conf_win_left_offset=conf_win_left_offset/SubWidthC, wherein SubWidthC defines the horizontal sampling step of a color component. E.g., SubWidthC is equal to 1 for the luma component. SubWidthC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0 or 4:2:2.   
                   
               c. In one example, the derivation of the vertical position (e.g. refy L  as defined in VVC) of a reference sample may depend on the top position (e.g. conf_win_top_offset as defined in VVC) of the conformance window of the current picture and/or the reference picture.
               i. In one example, the vertical position (denoted as ySb′) of the current sample relative to the top-left position of the conformance window in the current picture is calculated and used to derive the position of the reference sample.
                   1) For example, ySb′=ySb−(conf_win_top_offset&lt;&lt;Prec) is calculated and used to derive the position of the reference sample, wherein ySb represents the vertical position of the current sample in the current picture. conf_win_top_offset represents the vertical position of the top-left sample in the conformance window of the current picture. Prec presents the precision of ySb and ySb′. For example, Prec=0 or Prec=4.   
                   ii. In one example, the vertical position (denoted as Ry′) of the reference sample relative to the top-left position of the conformance window in the reference picture is calculated.
                   1) The calculation of Ry′ may depend on ySb′, and/or a motion vector, and/or a resampling ratio.   
                   iii. In one example, the vertical position (denoted as Ry) of the reference sample relative in the reference picture is calculated depending on Ry′.
                   1) For example, Ry=Ry′+(conf_win_top_offset_ref&lt;&lt;Prec) is calculated, wherein conf_win_top_offset_ref represents the vertical position of the top-left sample in the conformance window of the reference picture. Prec presents the precision of Ry and Ry′. For example, Prec=0 or Prec=4.   
                   iv. In one example, Ry may be calculated directly depending on ySb′, and/or a motion vector, and/or a resampling ratio. In other words, the two steps of derivation on Ry′ and Ry are combined into a one-step calculation.   v. Whether to and/or how to use the top position (e.g. conf_win_top_offset as defined in VVC) of the conformance window of the current picture and/or the reference picture may depend on the color components and/or color formats.
                   1) For example, conf_win_top_offset may be revised as conf_win_top_offset=conf_win_top_offset*SubHeightC, wherein SubHeightC defines the vertical sampling step of a color component. E.g., SubHeightC is equal to 1 for the luma component. SubHeightC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0.   2) For example, conf_win_top_offset may be revised as conf_win_top_offset=conf_win_top_offset/SubHeightC, wherein SubHeightC defines the vertical sampling step of a color component. E.g., SubHeightC is equal to 1 for the luma component. SubHeightC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0.   
                   
               
         
             28. It is proposed that the integer part of the horizontal coordinate of a reference sample may be clipped to [minW, maxW]. Suppose the width and height of the conformance window of the reference picture are denoted as W and H, respectively. The width and height of the conformance window of a reference picture are denoted as W′ and H′. The top-left position of the conformance window in the reference picture are denoted as (X0, Y0).
           a. In one example, minW is equal to 0.   b. In one example, minW is equal to X0.   c. In one example, maxW is equal to W−1.   d. In one example, maxW is equal to W′−1.   e. In one example, maxW is equal to X0+W′−1.   f. In one example, minW and/or maxW may be modified based on color format and/or color component.
               i. For example, minW is modified to be minW*SubC.   ii. For example, minW is modified to be minW/SubC.   iii. For example, maxW is modified to be maxW*SubC.   iv. For example, maxW is modified to be maxW/SubC.   v. In one example, SubC is equal to 1 for the luma component.   vi. In one example, SubC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0.   vii. In one example, SubC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:2.   viii. In one example, SubC is equal to 1 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:4:4.   
               g. In one example, the whether to and/or how to do the clipping may depend on the dimensions of the current picture (or the conformance window in it) and the dimensions of the reference picture (or the conformance window in it).
               i. In one example, the clipping is done only when the dimensions of the current picture (or the conformance window in it) and the dimensions of the reference picture (or the conformance window in it) are different.   
               
         
             29. It is proposed that the integer part of the vertical coordinate of a reference sample may be clipped to [minH, maxH]. Suppose the width and height of the conformance window of the reference picture are denoted as W and H, respectively. The width and height of the conformance window of a reference picture are denoted as W′ and H′. The top-left position of the conformance window in the reference picture are denoted as (X0, Y0).
           a. In one example, minH is equal to 0.   b. In one example, minH is equal to Y0.   c. In one example, maxH is equal to H−1.   d. In one example, maxH is equal to H′−1.   e. In one example, maxH is equal to Y0+H′−1.   f. In one example, minH and/or maxH may be modified based on color format and/or color component.
               i. For example, minH is modified to be minH*SubC.   ii. For example, minH is modified to be minH/SubC.   iii. For example, maxH is modified to be maxH*SubC.   iv. For example, maxH is modified to be maxH/SubC.   v. In one example, SubC is equal to 1 for the luma component.   vi. In one example, SubC is equal to 2 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:0.   vii. In one example, SubC is equal to 1 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:2:2.   viii. In one example, SubC is equal to 1 for a chroma component when the color format is 4:4:4.   
               g. In one example, the whether to and/or how to do the clipping may depend on the dimensions of the current picture (or the conformance window in it) and the dimensions of the reference picture (or the conformance window in it).
               i. In one example, the clipping is done only when the dimensions of the current picture (or the conformance window in it) and the dimensions of the reference picture (or the conformance window in it) are different.   
               
         
           
         
       
    
     In the following discussion, a first syntax element is asserted to be “corresponding” to a second syntax element, if the two syntax elements have an equivalent functionality but may be signaled at different video unit (e.g. VPS/SPS/PPS/slice header/picture header etc.)
         30. It is proposed that a syntax element may be signaled in a first video unit (e.g. picture header or PPS) and no corresponding syntax element is signaled in a second video unit at a higher level (such as SPS) or a lower level (such as slice header).
           a. Alternatively, a first syntax element may be signaled in the first video unit (e.g. picture header or PPS) and a corresponding second syntax element may be signaled in a second video unit at a lower level (such as slice header).
               i. Alternatively, an indicator may be signaled in the second video unit to inform whether the second syntax element is signaled thereafter.   ii. In one example, the slice associated with the second video unit (such as slice header) may follow the indication of the second syntax element instead of the first one if the second one is signaled.   iii. An indicator associated with the first syntax element may be signaled in the first video unit to inform whether the second syntax element is signaled in any slice (or other video unit) associated with the first video unit.   
               b. Alternatively, a first syntax element may be signaled in a first video unit at a higher level (such as VPS/SPS/PPS), and a corresponding second syntax element may be signaled in the second video unit (such as picture header).
               i. Alternatively, an indicator may be signaled to inform whether the second syntax element is signaled thereafter.   ii. In one example, the picture (which may be partitioned into slices) associated with the second video unit may follow the indication of the second syntax element instead of the first one if the second one is signaled.   
               c. A first syntax element in the picture header may have an equivalent functionality as a second syntax element in the slice header as specified in section 2.6 (such as but limited to slice_temporal_mvp_enabled_flag, cabac_init_flag, six_minus_max_num_merge_cand, five_minus_max_num_subblock_merge_cand, slice_fpel_mmvd_enabled_flag, slice_disable_bdof_dmvr_flag, max_num_merge_cand_minus_max_num_triangle_cand, slice_fpel_mmvd_enabled_flag, slice_six_minus_max_num_ibc merge_cand, slicejoint_cbcr_sign_flag, slice_qp_delta, . . . ) but control all slices of the picture.   d. A first syntax element in SPS as specified in section 2.6 may have an equivalent functionality as a second syntax element in the picture header (such as but limited to sps_bdof_dmvr_slice_present_flag, sps_mmvd_enabled_flag, sps_isp_enabled_flag, sps_mrl_enabled_flag, sps_mip_enabled_flag, sps_cclm_enabled_flag, sps_mts_enabled_flag . . . ) but control only the associated picture (which may be partitioned into slices).   e. A first syntax element in PPS as specified in section 2.7 may have an equivalent functionality as a second syntax element in the picture header (such as but limited to entropy_coding_sync_enabled_flag, entry_point_offsets_present_flag, cabac_init_present_flag, rpl1_idx_present_flag . . . ) but control only the associated picture (which may be partitioned into slices).   
           31. In this disclosure (bullet 1-bullet 29), the term “conformance window” may be replaced by other terms such as “scaling window”. A scaling window may be signaled differently to the conformance window and is used to derive the scaling ratio and/or top-left offset used to derive the reference sample position for RPR.
           a. In one example, the scaling window may be constrained by the conformance window. For example, in a conformance bit-stream, the scaling window must be contained by the conformance window.   
           32. Whether and/or how to signal the allowed max block size for transform-skip-coded blocks may depend on the max block size for transform-coded blocks.
           a. Alternatively, the max block size for transform-skip-coded blocks cannot be larger than max block size for transform-coded blocks in a conformance bitstream.   
           33. Whether and how to signal the indication of enabling Joint Cb-Cr Residue (JCCR) coding (such as sps_joint_cbcr_enabled_flag) may depend the color format (such as 4:0:0, 4:2:0 etc.)
           a. For example, the indication of enabling Joint Cb-Cr Residue (JCCR) may not be signaled if the color format is 4:0:0. An exemplary syntax design is as below:

     Downsampling Filter Type for Chroma Blending Mask Generation in TPM/GEO 
     
         
         
           
             34. The type of downsampling filter used for blending weights derivation for chroma samples may be signalled at video unit level (such as SPS/VPS/PPS/Picture header/Subpicture/Slice/Slice header/Tile/Brick/CTU/VPDU level).
           a. In one example, a high level flag may be signaled to switch between different chroma format types of content.
               i. In one example, a high level flag may be signaled to switch between chroma format type 0 and chroma format type 2.   ii. In one example, a flag may be signaled for specifying whether the top-left downsampled luma weights in TPM/GEO prediction mode is collocated with the top-left luma weights (i.e., chroma sample location type 0).   iii. In one example, a flag may be signaled for specifying whether the top-left downsampled luma sample in TPM/GEO prediction mode is horizontally co-sited with the top-left luma sample but vertically shifted by 0.5 units of luma samples relatively to the top-left luma sample (i.e., chroma sample location type 2).   
               b. In one example, the type of downsampling filter may be signaled for 4:2:0 chroma format and/or 4:2:2 chroma format.   c. In one example, a flag may be signaled for specifying the type of chroma downsampling filter used for TPM/GEO prediction.
               i. In one example, the flag may be signaled for whether to use downsampling filter A or downsampling filter B for the chroma weights derivation in TPM/GEO prediction mode.   
               
         
             35. The type of downsampling filter used for blending weights derivation for chroma samples may be derived at video unit level (such as SPS/VPS/PPS/Picture header/Subpicture/Slice/Slice header/Tile/Brick/CTU/VPDU level).
           a. In one example, a look up table may be defined to specify the correspondence relationship between the chroma subsampling filter type and the chroma format types of content.   
         
             36. A specified downsampling filter may be used for TPM/GEO prediction mode in case of different chroma sample location type.
           a. In one example, chroma weights of TPM/GEO may be subsampled from the collocated top-left luma weights in case of a certain chroma sample location type (e.g., chroma sample location type 0).   b. In one example, in case of a certain chroma sample location type (e.g., chroma sample location type 0 or 2), a specified X-tap filter (X is a constant such as X=6 or 5) may be used for chroma weights subsampling in TPM/GEO prediction mode.   
         
             37. In a video unit (e.g. SPS, PPS, picture header, slice header etc.), a first syntax element (such as a flag) may be signaled to indicate whether MTS is disabled for all blocks (slices/pictures).
           a. A second syntax element indicating how to apply MTS (such as enable MTS/disable MTS/implicit MTS/explicit MTS) on intra-coding blocks (slices/pictures) is signaled conditionally on the first syntax element. For example, the second syntax element is signaled only when the first syntax element indicates that MTS is not disabled for all blocks (slices/pictures).   b. A third syntax element indicating how to apply MTS (such as enable MTS/disable MTS/implicit MTS/explicit MTS) on inter-coding blocks (slices/pictures) is signaled conditionally on the first syntax element. For example, the third syntax element is signaled only when the first syntax element indicates that MTS is not disabled for all blocks (slices/pictures).   c.

     5. Additional Embodiments 
     In the following, text changes are shown in underlined bold italicized font. 
     5.1. Embodiment of Constrains on the Conformance Window 
     conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_right_offset, conf_win_top_offset, and conf_win_bottom_offset specify the samples of the pictures in the CVS that are output from the decoding process, in terms of a rectangular region specified in picture coordinates for output. When conformance_window_flag is equal to 0, the values of conf_win_left_offset, conf_win_right_offset, conf_win_top_offset, and conf_win_bottom_offset are inferred to be equal to 0. 
     The conformance cropping window contains the luma samples with horizontal picture coordinates from SubWidthC*conf_win_left_offset to pic_width_in_luma_samples−(SubWidthC*conf_win_right_offset+1) and vertical picture coordinates from SubHeightC*conf_win_top_offset to pic_height_in_luma_samples−(SubHeightC*conf_win_bottom offset+1), inclusive. 
     The value of SubWidthC*(conf_win_left_offset+conf_win_right_offset) shall be less than pic_width_in_luma_samples, and the value of SubHeightC*(conf_win_top_offset+conf_win_bottom_offset) shall be less than pic_height_in_luma_samples. 
     The variables PicOutputWidthL and PicOutputHeightL are derived as follows: 
       PicOutputWidth L =pic_width_in_luma_samples−SubWidth C *(conf_win_right_offset+conf_win_left_offset)  (7-43)
 
       PicOutputHeight L =pic_height_in_pic_size_units−SubHeight C *(conf_win_bottom_offset+conf_win_top_offset)  (7-44)
 
     When ChromaArrayType is not equal to 0, the corresponding specified samples of the two chroma arrays are the samples having picture coordinates (x/SubWidthC, y/SubHeightC), where (x, y) are the picture coordinates of the specified luma samples. 
     
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
     
     
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
     
     5.2. Embodiment 1 of Reference Sample Position Derivation 
     8.5.6.3.1 General 
     . . . 
     The variable fRefWidth is set equal to the PicOutputWidthL of the reference picture in luma samples. 
     The variable fRefHeight is set equal to PicOutputHeightL of the reference picture in luma samples. 
     
       
       
     
     
       
       
     
     The motion vector mvLX is set equal to (refMvLX−mvOffset).
         If cIdx is equal to 0, the following applies:
           The scaling factors and their fixed-point representations are defined as   
               

       hori_scale_fp=(( f RefWidth&lt;&lt;14)+(PicOutputWidth L &gt;&gt;1))/PicOutputWidth L   (8-753)
 
       vert_scale_fp=(( f RefHeight&lt;&lt;14)+(PicOutputHeight L &gt;&gt;1))/PicOutputHeight L   (8-754)
             Let (xIntL, yIntL) be a luma location given in full-sample units and (xFracL, yFracL) be an offset given in 1/16-sample units. These variables are used only in this clause for specifying fractional-sample locations inside the reference sample arrays refPicLX.   The top-left coordinate of the bounding block for reference sample padding (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ) is set equal to (xSb+(mvLX[0]&gt;&gt;4), ySb+(mvLX[1]&gt;&gt;4)).   For each luma sample location (x L =0 . . . sbWidth−1+brdExtSize, y L =0 . . . sbHeight−1+brdExtSize) inside the prediction luma sample array predSamplesLX, the corresponding prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[x L ][y L ] is derived as follows:
               Let (refxSb L , refySb L ) and (refx L , refy L ) be luma locations pointed to by a motion vector (refMvLX[0], refMvLX[1]) given in 1/16-sample units. The variables refxSb L , refx L , refySb L , and refy L  are derived as follows:   
                       

       ref x Sb L =(( &lt;&lt;4)+refMv LX [0])*hori_scale_fp  (8-755)
 
       ref x   L =((Sign(ref x Sb)*((Abs(ref x Sb)+128)&gt;&gt;8)+ x   L *((hori_scale_fp+8)&gt;&gt;4))+32)&gt;&gt;6  (8-756)

             The variables xInt L , yInt L , xFrac L  and yFrac L  are derived as follows: 
           
         
       
    
         x Int L =ref x   L &gt;&gt;4  (8-759)
 
         y  Int L =ref y   L &gt;&gt;4  (8-760)

         y Frac L =ref y   L &amp;15  (8-762)
         If bdofFlag is equal to TRUE or (sps_affine_prof_enabled_flag is equal to TRUE and inter_affine_flag[xSb][ySb] is equal to TRUE), and one or more of the following conditions are true, the prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[x L ][y L ] is derived by invoking the luma integer sample fetching process as specified in clause 8.5.6.3.3 with (xInt L +(xFrac L &gt;&gt;3)−1), yInt L +(yFrac L &gt;&gt;3)−1) and refPicLX as inputs.
           x L  is equal to 0.   x L  is equal to sbWidth+1.   y L  is equal to 0.   y L  is equal to sbHeight+1.   
           Otherwise, the prediction luma sample value predSamplesLX[xL][yL] is derived by invoking the luma sample 8-tap interpolation filtering process as specified in clause 8.5.6.3.2 with (xIntL−(brdExtSize&gt;0?1:0), yIntL−(brdExtSize&gt;0?1:0)), (xFracL, yFracL), (xSbInt L , ySbInt L ), refPicLX, hpelIfIdx, sbWidth, sbHeight and (xSb, ySb) as inputs.   Otherwise (cIdx is not equal to 0), the following applies:
           Let (xIntC, yIntC) be a chroma location given in full-sample units and (xFracC, yFracC) be an offset given in 1/32 sample units. These variables are used only in this clause for specifying general fractional-sample locations inside the reference sample arrays refPicLX.   The top-left coordinate of the bounding block for reference sample padding (xSbIntC, ySbIntC) is set equal to ((xSb/SubWidthC)+(mvLX[0]&gt;&gt;5), (ySb/SubHeightC)+(mvLX[1]&gt;&gt;5)).   For each chroma sample location (xC=0 . . . sbWidth−1, yC=0 . . . sbHeight−1) inside the prediction chroma sample arrays predSamplesLX, the corresponding prediction chroma sample value predSamplesLX[xC][yC] is derived as follows:
               Let (refxSb C , refySb C ) and (refx C , refy C ) be chroma locations pointed to by a motion vector (mvLX[0], mvLX[1]) given in 1/32-sample units. The variables refxSb C , refySb C , refx C  and refy C  are derived as follows:

       FIG. 7  is a block diagram showing an example video processing system  700  in which various techniques disclosed herein may be implemented. Various implementations may include some or all of the components of the system  700 . The system  700  may include input  702  for receiving video content. The video content may be received in a raw or uncompressed format, e.g., 8 or 10 bit multi-component pixel values, or may be in a compressed or encoded format. The input  702  may represent a network interface, a peripheral bus interface, or a storage interface. Examples of network interface include wired interfaces such as Ethernet, passive optical network (PON), etc. and wireless interfaces such as Wi-Fi or cellular interfaces. 
     The system  700  may include a coding component  704  that may implement the various coding or encoding methods described in the present document.

The stored or communicated bitstream (or coded) representation of the video received at the input  702  may be used by the component  708  for generating pixel values or displayable video that is sent to a display interface  710 . The process of generating user-viewable video from the bitstream representation is sometimes called video decompression. Furthermore, while certain video processing operations are referred to as “coding” operations or tools, it will be appreciated that the coding tools or operations are used at an encoder and corresponding decoding tools or operations that reverse the results of the coding will be performed by a decoder. 
     Examples of a peripheral bus interface or a display interface may include universal serial bus (USB) or high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) or Displayport, and so on.

       FIG. 8  is a block diagram that illustrates an example video coding system  100  that may utilize the techniques of this disclosure. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , video coding system  100  may include a source device  110  and a destination device  120 . Source device  110  generates encoded video data which may be referred to as a video encoding device. Destination device  120  may decode the encoded video data generated by source device  110  which may be referred to as a video decoding device. 
     Source device  110  may include a video source  112 , a video encoder  114 , and an input/output (I/O) interface  116 . 
     Video source  112  may include a source such as a video capture device, an interface to receive video data from a video content provider, and/or a computer graphics system for generating video data, or a combination of such sources. The video data may comprise one or more pictures. Video encoder  114  encodes the video data from video source  112  to generate a bitstream. The bitstream may include a sequence of bits that form a coded representation of the video data. The bitstream may include coded pictures and associated data. The coded picture is a coded representation of a picture. The associated data may include sequence parameter sets, picture parameter sets, and other syntax structures. I/O interface  116  may include a modulator/demodulator (modem) and/or a transmitter. The encoded video data may be transmitted directly to destination device  120  via I/O interface  116  through network  130   a . The encoded video data may also be stored onto a storage medium/server  130   b  for access by destination device  120 . 
     Destination device  120  may include an I/O interface  126 , a video decoder  124 , and a display device  122 . 
     I/O interface  126  may include a receiver and/or a modem. I/O interface  126  may acquire encoded video data from the source device  110  or the storage medium/server  130   b . Video decoder  124  may decode the encoded video data. Display device  122  may display the decoded video data to a user. Display device  122  may be integrated with the destination device  120 , or may be external to destination device  120  which be configured to interface with an external display device. 
     Video encoder  114  and video decoder  124  may operate according to a video compression standard, such as the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard and other current and/or further standards. 
       FIG. 9  is a block diagram illustrating an example of video encoder  200 , which may be video encoder  114  in the system  100  illustrated in  FIG. 8 . 
     Video encoder  200  may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques of this disclosure. In the example of  FIG. 9 , video encoder  200  includes a plurality of functional components. The techniques described in this disclosure may be shared among the various components of video encoder  200 . In some examples, a processor may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques described in this disclosure. 
     The functional components of video encoder  200  may include a partition unit  201 , a predication unit  202  which may include a mode select unit  203 , a motion estimation unit  204 , a motion compensation unit  205  and an intra prediction unit  206 , a residual generation unit  207 , a transform unit  208 , a quantization unit  209 , an inverse quantization unit  210 , an inverse transform unit  211 , a reconstruction unit  212 , a buffer  213 , and an entropy encoding unit  214 . 
     In other examples, video encoder  200  may include more, fewer, or different functional components. In an example, predication unit  202  may include an intra block copy (IBC) unit. The IBC unit may perform predication in an IBC mode in which at least one reference picture is a picture where the current video block is located. 
     Furthermore, some components, such as motion estimation unit  204  and motion compensation unit  205  may be highly integrated, but are represented in the example of  FIG. 5  separately for purposes of explanation. 
     Partition unit  201  may partition a picture into one or more video blocks. Video encoder  200  and video decoder  300  may support various video block sizes. 
     Mode select unit  203  may select one of the coding modes, intra or inter, e.g., based on error results, and provide the resulting intra- or inter-coded block to a residual generation unit  207  to generate residual block data and to a reconstruction unit  212  to reconstruct the encoded block for use as a reference picture. In some example, Mode select unit  203  may select a combination of intra and inter predication (CIIP) mode in which the predication is based on an inter predication signal and an intra predication signal. Mode select unit  203  may also select a resolution for a motion vector (e.g., a sub-pixel or integer pixel precision) for the block in the case of inter-predication. 
     To perform inter prediction on a current video block, motion estimation unit  204  may generate motion information for the current video block by comparing one or more reference frames from buffer  213  to the current video block. Motion compensation unit  205  may determine a predicted video block for the current video block based on the motion information and decoded samples of pictures from buffer  213  other than the picture associated with the current video block. 
     Motion estimation unit  204  and motion compensation unit  205  may perform different operations for a current video block, for example, depending on whether the current video block is in an I slice, a P slice, or a B slice. 
     In some examples, motion estimation unit  204  may perform uni-directional prediction for the current video block, and motion estimation unit  204  may search reference pictures of list 0 or list 1 for a reference video block for the current video block. Motion estimation unit  204  may then generate a reference index that indicates the reference picture in list 0 or list 1 that contains the reference video block and a motion vector that indicates a spatial displacement between the current video block and the reference video block. Motion estimation unit  204  may output the reference index, a prediction direction indicator, and the motion vector as the motion information of the current video block. Motion compensation unit  205  may generate the predicted video block of the current block based on the reference video block indicated by the motion information of the current video block. 
     In other examples, motion estimation unit  204  may perform bi-directional prediction for the current video block, motion estimation unit  204  may search the reference pictures in list 0 for a reference video block for the current video block and may also search the reference pictures in list 1 for another reference video block for the current video block. Motion estimation unit  204  may then generate reference indexes that indicate the reference pictures in list 0 and list 1 containing the reference video blocks and motion vectors that indicate spatial displacements between the reference video blocks and the current video block. Motion estimation unit  204  may output the reference indexes and the motion vectors of the current video block as the motion information of the current video block. Motion compensation unit  205  may generate the predicted video block of the current video block based on the reference video blocks indicated by the motion information of the current video block. 
     In some examples, motion estimation unit  204  may output a full set of motion information for decoding processing of a decoder. 
     In some examples, motion estimation unit  204  may do not output a full set of motion information for the current video. Rather, motion estimation unit  204  may signal the motion information of the current video block with reference to the motion information of another video block. For example, motion estimation unit  204  may determine that the motion information of the current video block is sufficiently similar to the motion information of a neighboring video block. 
     In one example, motion estimation unit  204  may indicate, in a syntax structure associated with the current video block, a value that indicates to the video decoder  300  that the current video block has the same motion information as the another video block. 
     In another example, motion estimation unit  204  may identify, in a syntax structure associated with the current video block, another video block and a motion vector difference (MVD). The motion vector difference indicates a difference between the motion vector of the current video block and the motion vector of the indicated video block. The video decoder  300  may use the motion vector of the indicated video block and the motion vector difference to determine the motion vector of the current video block. 
     As discussed above, video encoder  200  may predictively signal the motion vector. Two examples of predictive signaling techniques that may be implemented by video encoder  200  include advanced motion vector predication (AMVP) and merge mode signaling. 
     Intra prediction unit  206  may perform intra prediction on the current video block. When intra prediction unit  206  performs intra prediction on the current video block, intra prediction unit  206  may generate prediction data for the current video block based on decoded samples of other video blocks in the same picture. The prediction data for the current video block may include a predicted video block and various syntax elements. 
     Residual generation unit  207  may generate residual data for the current video block by subtracting (e.g., indicated by the minus sign) the predicted video block(s) of the current video block from the current video block. The residual data of the current video block may include residual video blocks that correspond to different sample components of the samples in the current video block. 
     In other examples, there may be no residual data for the current video block for the current video block, for example in a skip mode, and residual generation unit  207  may not perform the subtracting operation. 
     Transform processing unit  208  may generate one or more transform coefficient video blocks for the current video block by applying one or more transforms to a residual video block associated with the current video block. 
     After transform processing unit  208  generates a transform coefficient video block associated with the current video block, quantization unit  209  may quantize the transform coefficient video block associated with the current video block based on one or more quantization parameter (QP) values associated with the current video block. 
     Inverse quantization unit  210  and inverse transform unit  211  may apply inverse quantization and inverse transforms to the transform coefficient video block, respectively, to reconstruct a residual video block from the transform coefficient video block. Reconstruction unit  212  may add the reconstructed residual video block to corresponding samples from one or more predicted video blocks generated by the predication unit  202  to produce a reconstructed video block associated with the current block for storage in the buffer  213 . 
     After reconstruction unit  212  reconstructs the video block, loop filtering operation may be performed reduce video blocking artifacts in the video block. 
     Entropy encoding unit  214  may receive data from other functional components of the video encoder  200 . When entropy encoding unit  214  receives the data, entropy encoding unit  214  may perform one or more entropy encoding operations to generate entropy encoded data and output a bitstream that includes the entropy encoded data. 
       FIG. 10  is a block diagram illustrating an example of video decoder  300  which may be video decoder  114  in the system  100  illustrated in  FIG. 8 . 
     The video decoder  300  may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques of this disclosure. In the example of  FIG. 10 , the video decoder  300  includes a plurality of functional components. The techniques described in this disclosure may be shared among the various components of the video decoder  300 . In some examples, a processor may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques described in this disclosure. 
     In the example of  FIG. 10 , video decoder  300  includes an entropy decoding unit  301 , a motion compensation unit  302 , an intra prediction unit  303 , an inverse quantization unit  304 , an inverse transformation unit  305 , and a reconstruction unit  306  and a buffer  307 . Video decoder  300  may, in some examples, perform a decoding pass generally reciprocal to the encoding pass described with respect to video encoder  200  (e.g.,  FIG. 9 ). 
     Entropy decoding unit  301  may retrieve an encoded bitstream. The encoded bitstream may include entropy coded video data (e.g., encoded blocks of video data). Entropy decoding unit  301  may decode the entropy coded video data, and from the entropy decoded video data, motion compensation unit  302  may determine motion information including motion vectors, motion vector precision, reference picture list indexes, and other motion information. Motion compensation unit  302  may, for example, determine such information by performing the AMVP and merge mode. 
     Motion compensation unit  302  may produce motion compensated blocks, possibly performing interpolation based on interpolation filters. Identifiers for interpolation filters to be used with sub-pixel precision may be included in the syntax elements. 
     Motion compensation unit  302  may use interpolation filters as used by video encoder  20  during encoding of the video block to calculate interpolated values for sub-integer pixels of a reference block. Motion compensation unit  302  may determine the interpolation filters used by video encoder  200  according to received syntax information and use the interpolation filters to produce predictive blocks. 
     Motion compensation unit  302  may uses some of the syntax information to determine sizes of blocks used to encode frame(s) and/or slice(s) of the encoded video sequence, partition information that describes how each macroblock of a picture of the encoded video sequence is partitioned, modes indicating how each partition is encoded, one or more reference frames (and reference frame lists) for each inter-encoded block, and other information to decode the encoded video sequence. 
     Intra prediction unit  303  may use intra prediction modes for example received in the bitstream to form a prediction block from spatially adjacent blocks. Inverse quantization unit  303  inverse quantizes, i.e., de-quantizes, the quantized video block coefficients provided in the bitstream and decoded by entropy decoding unit  301 . Inverse transform unit  303  applies an inverse transform. 
     Reconstruction unit  306  may sum the residual blocks with the corresponding prediction blocks generated by motion compensation unit  202  or intra-prediction unit  303  to form decoded blocks. If desired, a deblocking filter may also be applied to filter the decoded blocks in order to remove blockiness artifacts. The decoded video blocks are then stored in buffer  307 , which provides reference blocks for subsequent motion compensation.

     In some embodiments, the conversion includes encoding the video into the coded representation. In some embodiments, the conversion includes decoding the coded representation into the video. 
     Some embodiments of the disclosed technology include making a decision or determination to enable a video processing tool or mode. In an example, when the video processing tool or mode is enabled, the encoder will use or implement the tool or mode in the processing of a block of video, but may not necessarily modify the resulting bitstream based on the usage of the tool or mode. That is, a conversion from the block of video to the bitstream representation of the video will use the video processing tool or mode when it is enabled based on the decision or determination. In another example, when the video processing tool or mode is enabled, the decoder will process the bitstream with the knowledge that the bitstream has been modified based on the video processing tool or mode. That is, a conversion from the bitstream representation of the video to the block of video will be performed using the video processing tool or mode that was enabled based on the decision or determination. 
     Some embodiments of the disclosed technology include making a decision or determination to disable a video processing tool or mode. In an example, when the video processing tool or mode is disabled, the encoder will not use the tool or mode in the conversion of the block of video to the bitstream representation of the video. In another example, when the video processing tool or mode is disabled, the decoder will process the bitstream with the knowledge that the bitstream has not been modified using the video processing tool or mode that was enabled based on the decision or determination.

The disclosed and other embodiments can be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a computer readable medium for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus. The computer readable medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter effecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more them. The term “data processing apparatus” encompasses all apparatus, devices, and machines for processing data, including by way of example a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple processors or computers. The apparatus can include, in addition to hardware, code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, e.g., code that constitutes processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or a combination of one or more of them. A propagated signal is an artificially generated signal, e.g., a machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signal, that is generated to encode information for transmission to suitable receiver apparatus. 
     A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, script, or code) can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers that are located at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network. 
     The processes and logic flows described in this document can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output. The processes and logic flows can also be performed by, and apparatus can also be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit). 
     Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random-access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for performing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Computer readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto optical disks; and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.
