Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for signaling and using a palette mode in video processing. According to certain disclosed embodiments, an exemplary video processing method includes: receiving a first palette entry for palette coding a target coding unit (CU); determining whether the target CU is part of a single-tree slice; determining whether the target CU is coded with separate luma and chroma trees; and in response to the target CU being determined to be part of a single-tree slice and be coded with separate luma and chroma trees, decoding a first component of the target CU based on the first palette entry, and decoding a second component of the target CU based on a default palette entry.

Claims (24)

1. A video processing method, comprising:

receiving a flag indicating that a palette mode is enabled for a target coding unit (CU), wherein the flag is signaled regardless of whether a chroma sampling format is used for the target CU; and

decoding, in response to the target CU being determined to be part of a single-tree slice and be coded with separate luma and chroma trees, the target CU using the palette mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flag is signaled in a sequence parameter set (SPS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the chroma sampling format comprises one or more of:

a 4:4:4 format,

a 4:2:2 format, or

a 4:2:0 format.

4. A video processing method, comprising:

signaling a flag indicating that a palette mode is enabled for a target coding unit (CU), wherein the flag is signaled regardless of whether a chroma sampling format is used for the target CU; and

encoding, in response to the target CU being determined to be part of a single-tree slice and to be coded with separate luma and chroma trees, the target CU using the palette mode.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the flag is signaled in a sequence parameter set (SPS).

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the chroma sampling format comprises one or more of:

a 4:4:4 format,

a 4:2:2 format, or

a 4:2:0 format.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a bitstream, wherein the bitstream comprises:

a flag indicating that a palette mode is enabled for a target coding unit (CU), wherein the flag is present regardless of whether a chroma sampling format is used for the target CU; and

data representing the target CU, wherein the data is decoded using the palette mode in response to the target CU being determined to be part of a single-tree slice and be coded with separate luma and chroma trees.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the flag is signaled in a sequence parameter set (SPS).

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the chroma sampling format comprises one or more of:

a 4:4:4 format,

a 4:2:2 format, or

a 4:2:0 format.
