Patent ID: 12003751

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for video encoding, comprising: receiving a video sequence; encoding the video sequence by using control flags for luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) at a sequence level, a picture level, or a slice level, wherein the sequence level, the picture level, and the slice level are levels ranking from high to low; signaling a first control flag indicating whether the LMCS is enabled at a first level; and in response to the first control flag indicating the LMCS is enabled at the first level, signaling a second control flag indicating whether LMCS is enabled at a second level, wherein: the LMCS is enabled at the second level when a value of the second control flag equals to 1; the LMCS is disabled at the second level when the value of the second control flag equals to 0; and the second level is a lower level than the first level.
