Systems and methods for reducing a reconstruction error in video coding based on a cross-component correlation
A video coding device may be configured to perform video coding according to one or more of the techniques described herein.
1 . A method of filtering reconstructed video data, the method comprising:
receiving a slice header;
conditionally parsing a first syntax element in the slice header based on a second syntax element, in a sequence parameter set, indicating the adaptive loop filter is enabled, wherein the first syntax element is a flag and specifies whether a cross component filter is enabled for a color component;
conditionally parsing a third syntax element in the slice header based on the first syntax element specifying the cross component filter is enabled for the color component, wherein the third syntax element specifies an adaptation parameter set identifier;
receiving a coding tree unit syntax structure;
conditionally parsing a fourth syntax element in the coding tree unit syntax structure, based on the first syntax element specifying the cross component filter is enabled for the color component, wherein the fourth syntax element specifies whether the cross component filter is applied to a block of chroma samples and, when the cross component filter is applied, provides an index of the cross component filter; and
determining to invoke a cross component filtering process for the block of the chroma samples in a case where the fourth syntax element indicates that the cross component filter is applied,
wherein the cross component filtering process includes:
inputting a reconstructed luma picture sample array prior to a luma adaptive loop filtering process;
inputting a reconstructed chroma picture sample array filtered according to a chroma adaptive loop filtering process;
inputting a chroma location specifying a top-left sample of a current chroma coding tree block;
inputting a width of the block of the chroma samples;
inputting a height of the block of the chroma samples;
inputting cross component filter coefficients;
setting a luma location, corresponding to a current chroma sample, equal to a location defined by a horizontal location of the current chroma sample multiplied by a sub-width value and a vertical location of the current chroma sample multiplied by a sub-height value,
wherein the horizontal location and the vertical location are derived from the chroma location;
deriving luma sample locations inside the reconstructed luma picture sample array by using the luma location;
determining vertical sample position offsets according to a vertical luma sample position being equal to a position;
deriving a sum variable by using the cross component filter coefficients and the reconstructed luma picture sample array defined by at least one of the luma sample locations offset by the vertical sample position offsets; and
deriving a modified filtered reconstructed chroma picture sample array by using the reconstructed chroma picture sample array and the sum variable.

receive a slice header;
conditionally parse a first syntax element in the slice header based on a second syntax element, in a sequence parameter set, indicating the adaptive loop filter is enabled, wherein the first syntax element is a flag and specifies whether a cross component filter is enabled for a color component;
conditionally parse a third syntax element in the slice header based on the first syntax element specifying the cross component filter is enabled for the color component, wherein the third syntax element specifies an adaptation parameter set identifier;
receive a coding tree unit syntax structure;
conditionally parse a fourth syntax element in the coding tree unit syntax structure, based on the first syntax element specifying the cross component filter is enabled for the color component, wherein the fourth syntax element specifies whether the cross component filter is applied to a block of chroma samples and, when the cross component filter is applied, provides an index of the cross component filter; and
determine to invoke a cross component filtering process for the block of the chroma samples in a case where the fourth syntax element indicates that the cross component filter is applied,
wherein the cross component filtering process includes:
inputting a reconstructed luma picture sample array prior to a luma adaptive loop filtering process;
inputting a reconstructed chroma picture sample array filtered according to a chroma adaptive loop filtering process;
inputting a chroma location specifying a top-left sample of a current chroma coding tree block;
inputting a width of the block of the chroma samples;
inputting a height of the block of the chroma samples;
inputting cross component filter coefficients;
setting a luma location, corresponding to a current chroma sample, equal to a location defined by a horizontal location of the current chroma sample multiplied by a sub-width value and a vertical location of the current chroma sample multiplied by a sub-height value, wherein the horizontal location and the vertical location are derived from the chroma location;
deriving luma sample locations inside the reconstructed luma picture sample array by using the luma location;
determining vertical sample position offsets according to a vertical luma sample position being equal to a position;
deriving a sum variable by using the cross component filter coefficients and the reconstructed luma picture sample array defined by at least one of the luma sample locations offset by the vertical sample position offsets; and
deriving a modified filtered reconstructed chroma picture sample array by using the reconstructed chroma picture sample array and the sum variable.
