Definitions

• This disclosure relates to video encoding and decoding.
• Video compression techniques perform spatial (intra-picture) prediction and/or temporal (inter-picture) prediction to reduce or remove redundancy inherent in video sequences.
• a video slice i.e., a video frame or a portion of a video frame
• Video blocks in an intra-coded (I) slice of a picture are encoded using spatial prediction with respect to reference samples in neighboring blocks in the same picture.
• Video blocks in an inter-coded (P or B) slice of a picture may use spatial prediction with respect to reference samples in neighboring blocks in the same picture or temporal prediction with respect to reference samples in other reference pictures. Spatial or temporal prediction results in a predictive block for a block to be coded.
• a video encoder may determine a plurality of transform subsets.
• a video decoder may determine a plurality of transform subsets. The video encoder and the video decoder may select a transform subset for the plurality of transform subsets using implicit techniques that do not necessarily require additional signaling and determine transforms from the selected transform subsets. In this way, the video encoder and the video decoder may select from a relatively large set of transforms with a minimal increase in the amount of information that needs to be signaled.
• this disclosure describes a method of decoding video data.
• the method comprising: for a current coefficient block of a video block encoded according to one of a plurality of prediction modes, selecting a set of horizontal and vertical transform pair combinations from all available sets of horizontal and vertical transform pair combinations for a selected set of transforms, wherein the selected set of horizontal and vertical transform pair combinations comprises one or more horizontal and vertical transform pair combinations; selecting a horizontal and vertical transform pair combination from the selected set of horizontal and vertical transform pair
• the video decoder when the video decoder is described as determining a transform and/or applying a transform, it should be understood that the video decoder is determining a transform that is the inverse of the transform determined by the video encoder and/or that the video decoder is applying a transform that is the inverse of the transform applied by the video encoder.
• the video encoder and the video decoder may use a transform that provides better coding performance than would be possible with a limited set of transforms. Furthermore, as described in more detail, signaling overhead, used to indicate which transform is to be used, is kept low so that coding gains can be achieved while having more transforms available and keeping the impact on bandwidth low.

• video encoder 20 may quantize the coefficient block. Quantization generally refers to a process in which transform coefficients are quantized to possibly reduce the amount of data used to represent the transform coefficients, providing further compression.

• the NAL unit header may include a syntax element that indicates a NAL unit type code.
• the NAL unit type code specified by the NAL unit header of a NAL unit indicates the type of the NAL unit.
• a RBSP may be a syntax structure containing an integer number of bytes that is encapsulated within a NAL unit. In some instances, an RBSP includes zero bits.
• one flag may be firstly signaled to indicate whether current transform unit has at least one non-zero coefficient. If there is at least one nonzero coefficient, the position of the last significant coefficient in the coefficient scan order in a transform unit is then explicitly coded with a coordination relative to the top- left corner of the transform unit.
• the vertical or horizontal component of the coordination is represented by its prefix and suffix, wherein prefix is binarized with truncated rice (TR) and suffix is binarized with fixed length.

• the threshold refers to an absolute value of the difference between the prediction mode and the prediction mode for horizontal (18) and/or vertical (50). The threshold would thus be based on the distance between the intra prediction angle and horizontal or vertical.
• the given threshold value can be pre-defined, an example of the threshold value can be, but not limited to 8, 6, 4, 2 and 0. Where the threshold is 0, only horizontal and vertical prediction modes may use the ID transform.
