Method and apparatus for video coding
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. In a method, prediction information for a current block is encoded. The prediction information indicates a secondary transform index, based on which a secondary transform core is determined. A first primary transform coefficient block is generated based on a primary transform core of the current block. A size of the first primary transform coefficient block is less than a size of the secondary transform core. A second primary transform coefficient block is generated based on the first primary transform coefficient block. A size of the second primary transform coefficient block equals the size of the secondary transform core. A secondary transform coefficient block is determined based on the second primary transform coefficient block and the secondary transform core. The current block is encoded based on the secondary transform coefficient block.
