Abstract

According to the present disclosure, ALF parameters and/or LMCS parameters can be hierarchically signaled, which enables a reduction in the amount of data to be signaled for video/image coding and an increase in the coding efficiency.

Claims (38)

1 . An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving image information through a bitstream;

generating reconstructed samples of a current block based on the image information; and

performing an inverse mapping process for the reconstructed samples,

wherein the inverse mapping process includes a process for deriving a value of a mapped reconstructed sample based on a value of a reconstructed sample of the current block and a mapping index,

wherein the image information includes a first adaptation parameter set (APS) including luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) data, and identification (ID) information for the first APS,

wherein the LMCS data is derived based on the ID information for the first APS, and

wherein the mapping index is derived based on the LMCS data,

wherein the method comprises performing an adaptive loop filtering (ALF) process on the reconstructed samples,

wherein the image information includes a sequence parameter set (SPS),

wherein the SPS includes an LMCS enabled flag indicating whether an LMCS is enabled and an ALF enabled flag indicating whether an ALF is enabled,

wherein the image information includes a second APS including ALF data and ID information for the second APS,

wherein the ALF data is derived based on ID information for the second APS,

wherein the ALF process includes a process for deriving ALF filter coefficients based on the ALF data, and

wherein the ID information for the second APS is different from the ID information for the first APS.

2 . An image encoding method performed by an encoding apparatus, the method comprising:

generating reconstructed samples of a current block in a current picture;

generating luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) related information for the reconstructed samples; and

encoding image information including information on generating the reconstructed samples and the LMCS related information,

wherein the LMCS related information includes a first adaptation parameter set (APS) including LMCS data and ID information for the first APS,

wherein the LMCS data includes information for deriving a mapping index related to a mapping relationship between values of reconstructed samples of the current block,

wherein the method comprises generating adaptive loop filtering (ALF) related information for the reconstructed samples,

wherein the image information includes a sequence parameter set (SPS),

wherein the SPS includes an LMCS enabled flag indicating whether an LMCS is enabled and an ALF enabled flag indicating whether an ALF is enabled,

wherein the ALF related information includes a second APS including ALF data and ID information for the second APS,

wherein the ALF data includes information for deriving ALF filter coefficients, and

wherein the ID information for the second APS is different from the ID information for the first APS.

3 . A method for data of an image information, the method comprising:

obtaining a bitstream of the image information including luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) related information, the LMCS related information being generated based on generating reconstructed samples of a current block in a current picture and generating the LMCS related information for the reconstructed samples; and

transmitting the data including the bitstream of the image information including LMCS related information,

wherein the LMCS related information includes a first adaptation parameter set (APS) including LMCS data and ID information for the first APS,

wherein the LMCS data includes information for deriving a mapping index related to a mapping relationship between values of reconstructed samples of the current block,

wherein the method comprises generating adaptive loop filtering (ALF) related information for the reconstructed samples,

wherein the image information includes a sequence parameter set (SPS),

wherein the SPS includes an LMCS enabled flag indicating whether an LMCS is enabled and an ALF enabled flag indicating whether an ALF is enabled,

wherein the ALF related information includes a second APS including ALF data and ID information for the second APS,

wherein the ALF data includes information for deriving ALF filter coefficients, and

wherein the ID information for the second APS is different from the ID information for the first APS.
