  • the video frame image when After inputting a video frame image, the video frame image will be divided into several non-overlapping processing units according to a block size, and each processing unit will perform a similar compression operation.
  • This processing unit is called CTU, or LCU (Largest Coding Unit, maximum coding unit).
  • the CTU can be further divided into finer divisions to obtain one or more basic coding units CU (Coding Unit, coding unit).
  • CU is the most basic element in a coding process.
  • Predictive Coding includes intra-frame prediction and inter-frame prediction. After the original video signal is predicted by the selected reconstructed video signal, a residual video signal is obtained. The encoder needs to decide which predictive coding mode to choose for the current CU, and inform the decoder. Among them, intra-frame prediction means that the predicted signal comes from the area that has been coded and reconstructed in the same image; inter-frame prediction means that the predicted signal comes from another image (called a reference image) that has been encoded and is different from the current image. .
  • Transform&Quantization After the residual video signal undergoes transformation operations such as DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform, Discrete Fourier Transform), DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform), the signal is converted into the transform domain, called is the transformation coefficient.
  • the transform coefficients are further subjected to a lossy quantization operation, and certain information is lost, so that the quantized signal is conducive to compressed expression.
  • there may be more than one transformation method for selection so the encoder also needs to select one of the transformation methods for the current CU and inform the decoder.
  • the fineness of quantization is usually determined by the quantization parameter (Quantization Parameter, referred to as QP).
  • a larger value of QP means that coefficients with a larger range of values will be quantized into the same output, which usually results in greater distortion and Lower code rate; on the contrary, the QP value is smaller, which means that the coefficients with a smaller range of values will be quantized to the same output, so it usually brings smaller distortion and corresponds to a higher code rate.
  • Entropy Coding or Statistical Coding The quantized transform domain signal will be statistically compressed and coded according to the frequency of occurrence of each value, and finally output a binary (0 or 1) compressed code stream. At the same time, other information generated by encoding, such as the selected encoding mode, motion vector data, etc., also needs to be entropy encoded to reduce the bit rate.
  • Statistical coding is a lossless coding method that can effectively reduce the bit rate required to express the same signal. Common statistical coding methods include variable length coding (Variable Length Coding, VLC for short) or context-based binary arithmetic coding ( Content Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding, referred to as CABAC).
  • the context-based binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) process mainly includes three steps: binarization, context modeling and binary arithmetic coding.
  • the binary data can be encoded by the regular coding mode and the bypass coding mode (Bypass Coding Mode).
  • the bypass encoding mode does not need to assign a specific probability model to each binary bit, and the input binary bit bin value is directly encoded by a simple bypass encoder to speed up the entire encoding and decoding.
  • different grammatical elements are not completely independent, and the same grammatical element itself has a certain memory.
  • coded syntax elements for conditional coding can further improve the coding performance compared to independent coding or memoryless coding.
  • coded symbolic information used as conditions are called contexts.
  • the binary bits of the syntax elements enter the context modeler sequentially, and the encoder assigns an appropriate probability model to each input binary bit according to the values of the previously encoded syntax elements or binary bits.
  • Processes model contexts Through ctxIdxInc (context index increment, context index increment) and ctxIdxStart (context index Start, context start index), the context model corresponding to the syntax element can be located. After the bin value and the assigned probability model are sent to the binary arithmetic coder for encoding, the context model needs to be updated according to the bin value, which is the adaptive process in encoding.
  • Loop Filtering The changed and quantized signal will be reconstructed through inverse quantization, inverse transformation and prediction compensation operations. Compared with the original image, due to the influence of quantization, some information of the reconstructed image is different from the original image, that is, the reconstructed image will produce distortion (Distortion). Therefore, a filtering operation can be performed on the reconstructed image to effectively reduce the degree of distortion caused by quantization. Since these filtered reconstructed images will be used as references for subsequent encoded images to predict future image signals, the above filtering operation is also called in-loop filtering, that is, a filtering operation in an encoding loop.

在本申请的一个实施例中，以国际视频编码标准HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding，高效率视频编码)、VVC(Versatile Video Coding，多功能视频编码)，以及中国国家视频编码标准AVS为例，当输入一个视频帧图像之后，会根据一个块大小，将视频帧图像划分成若干个不重叠的处理单元，每个处理单元将进行类似的压缩操作。这个处理单元被称作CTU，或者称之为LCU(Largest Coding Unit，最大编码单元)。CTU再往下可以继续进行更加精细的划分，得到一个或多个基本的编码单元CU(Coding Unit，编码单元)，CU是一个编码环节中最基本的元素。
以下介绍对CU进行编码时的一些概念：
预测编码(Predictive Coding)：预测编码包括了帧内预测和帧间预测等方式，原始视频信号经过选定的已重建视频信号的预测后，得到残差视频信号。编码端需要为当前CU决定选择哪一种预测编码模式，并告知解码端。其中，帧内预测是指预测的信号来自于同一图像内已经编码重建过的区域；帧间预测是指预测的信号来自已经编码过的、不同于当前图像的其它图像(称之为参考图像)。
变换及量化(Transform&Quantization)：残差视频信号经过DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform，离散傅里叶变换)、DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform，离散余弦变换)等变换操作后，将信号转换到变换域中，称之为变换系数。变换系数进一步进行有损的量化操作，丢失掉一定的信息，使得量化后的信号有利于压缩表达。在一些视频编码标准中，可能有多于一种变换方式可以选择，因此编码端也需要为当前CU选择其中的一种变换方式，并告知解码端。量化的精细程度通常由量化参数(Quantization Parameter，简称QP)来决定，QP取值较大，表示更大取值范围的系数将被量化为同一个输出，因此通常会带来更大的失真及较低的码率；相反，QP取值较小，表示较小取值范围的系数将被量化为同一个输出，因此通常会带来较小的失真，同时对应较高的码率。
熵编码(Entropy Coding)或统计编码：量化后的变换域信号将根据各个值出现的频率进行统计压缩编码，最后输出二值化(0或者1)的压缩码流。同时，编码产生其他信息，例如选择的编码模式、运动矢量数据等，也需要进行熵编码以降低码率。统计编码是一种无损的编码方式，可以有效的降低表达同样信号所需要的码率，常见的统计编 码方式有变长编码(Variable Length Coding，简称VLC)或者基于上下文的二值化算术编码(Content Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding，简称CABAC)。
基于上下文的二值化算术编码(CABAC)过程主要包含3个步骤：二值化、上下文建模和二进制算术编码。在对输入的语法元素进行二值化处理后，可以通过常规编码模式和旁路编码模式(Bypass Coding Mode)对二元数据进行编码。旁路编码模式无须为每个二元位分配特定的概率模型，输入的二元位bin值直接用一个简单的旁路编码器进行编码，以加快整个编码以及解码的速度。一般情况下，不同的语法元素之间并不是完全独立的，且相同语法元素自身也具有一定的记忆性。因此，根据条件熵理论，利用其他已编码的语法元素进行条件编码，相对于独立编码或者无记忆编码能够进一步提高编码性能。这些用来作为条件的已编码符号信息称为上下文。在常规编码模式中，语法元素的二元位顺序地进入上下文模型器，编码器根据先前编码过的语法元素或二元位的值，为每一个输入的二元位分配合适的概率模型，该过程即为上下文建模。通过ctxIdxInc(context index increment，上下文索引增量)和ctxIdxStart(context index Start，上下文起始索引)即可定位到语法元素所对应的上下文模型。将bin值和分配的概率模型一起送入二元算术编码器进行编码后，需要根据bin值更新上下文模型，也就是编码中的自适应过程。
环路滤波(Loop Filtering)：经过变化及量化的信号会通过反量化、反变换及预测补偿的操作获得重建图像。重建图像与原始图像相比由于存在量化的影响，部分信息与原始图像有所不同，即重建图像会产生失真(Distortion)。因此，可以对重建图像进行滤波操作，以有效降低量化所产生的失真程度。由于这些经过滤波后的重建图像将作为后续编码图像的参考来对将来的图像信号进行预测，因此上述的滤波操作也被称为环路滤波，即在编码环路内的滤波操作。
在本申请的一个实施例中，图3示出了一个视频编码器的基本流程图，在该流程中以帧内预测为例进行说明。其中，原始图像信号s k[x,y]与预测图像信号
Figure PCTCN2022137908-appb-000001
做差值运算，得到残差信号u k[x,y]，残差信号u k[x,y]经过变换及量化处理之后得到量化系数，量化系数一方面通过熵编码得到编码后的比特流，另一方面通过反量化及反变换处理得到重构残差信号u' k[x,y]，预测图像信号

一方面输入至帧内模式决策模块和帧内预测模块进行帧内预测处理，另一方面通过环路滤波进行滤波处理，并输出滤波后的图像信号s' k[x,y]，滤波后的图像信号s' k[x,y]可以作为下一帧的参考图像进行运动估计及运动补偿预测。然后基于运动补偿预测的结果s' r[x+m x,y+m y]和帧内预测结果

得到下一帧的预测图像信号
Figure PCTCN2022137908-appb-000006
并继续重复上述过程，直至编码完成。
在上述的编码流程中，环路滤波是视频编码的核心模块之一，可以有效去除多种编码失真。最新一代国际视频编码标准VVC支持四种不同类型的环路滤波器：去块效应滤波器(Deblocking filter，简称DF)、样点自适应补偿(Sample Adaptive Offset，简称SAO)、自适应环路滤波(Adaptive Loop Filter，简称ALF)以及跨分量自适应环路滤波(CC-ALF)。
可选地，VVC的整体结构以及环路滤波过程如图4所示，其整体流程与图3所示的编码器流程类似，在环路滤波中，ALF和CC-ALF是一种维纳滤波器，可以根据不同视频分量的内容自适应的决定滤波器系数，从而减少重建分量和原始分量之间的均方误差(Mean Square Error，简称MSE)。其中，ALF的输入是经过DF和SAO滤波后的重建像素值，输出的是经过增强的重建亮度图像和重建色度图像；而CC-ALF的输入是经过DF和SAO滤波后、且未经ALF处理之前的亮度分量，输出的是对应的色度分量的修正值。即CC-ALF只作用于色度分量，具体是利用亮度分量和色度分量之间的相关性，通过对亮度分量的线性滤波得到色度分量的修正值，该修正值与经过ALF滤波后的色度分量相加， 作为最终的重建色度分量。作为一种自适应滤波器，维纳滤波器可以为不同特性的视频内容产生不同的滤波系数，因此ALF与CC-ALF需要将视频内容进行分类，为各个类别的视频内容使用对应的滤波器。在当前的VVC设计中，亮度分量的ALF支持25种不同类别的滤波器，每个色度分量的ALF最多支持8种不同类别的滤波器，而每个色度分量的CC-ALF最多支持4种不同类别的滤波器。
对于亮度分量而言，ALF会在子块级(VVC中为4×4的亮度块)自适应的使用不同的滤波器，即需要将每个4×4的亮度分量像素块划分为25类中的一类。亮度分量像素块的分类索引C是由该亮度分量像素块的方向性特征(Directionality)D和量化的活动性特征(Activity)

在上述公式中，R(k,l)表示(k,l)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k-1,l)表示(k-1,l)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k+1,l)表示(k+1,l)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k,l-1)表示(k,l-1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k,l+1)表示(k,l+1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k-1,l-1)表示(k-1,l-1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k+1,l+1)表示(k+1,l+1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k-1,l+1)表示(k-1,l+1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值；R(k+1,l-1)表示(k+1,l-1)位置经过ALF滤波之前的重建像素值。
基于每个像素的梯度，可以计算得到每个4×4的像素块整体的水平梯度g h、竖直梯度g v、对角方向梯度g d0和反对角方向梯度g d1，具体如下述公式(6)和公式(7)所示：

此外，在对每个4×4的亮度分量像素块进行滤波之前，会根据当前块的梯度值按照下述表1所示的规则对滤波器系数和对应的限幅值进行几何变换，包括不变(No transformation)、对角变换(Diagonal)、竖直翻转(Vertical flip)以及旋转变换(Rotation)。其中，对滤波器系数应用几何变换等效于在系数不变的情况下对像素值应用几何变换再进行滤波，几何变换的目的是为了尽可能的对齐不同块内容的方向性，从而减少ALF所需的分类数目，使不同的像素共享相同的滤波器系数。使用几何变换可以在不增加ALF滤波器数目的情况下，将真实的分类从25类提高到100类，提升了其自适应性。

以上介绍了ALF对亮度分量像素块的分类及几何变换过程，以下介绍CC-ALF的滤波与分类过程。
CC-ALF通过对亮度分量的线性滤波为每个色度分量生成对应的修正值，其流程以及与ALF的关系如图5所示，经过SAO滤波后的亮度分量R Y输入至ALF滤波器进行亮度分量的滤波处理并输出亮度分量的值Y；同时，亮度分量经过SAO滤波后的值R Y输入至CC-ALF滤波器对两个色度分量Cb和Cr分别进行滤波处理，得到两个色度分量的修正值ΔR Cb和ΔR Cr。两个色度分量经过SAO滤波后的值输入至ALF滤波器进行色度分量的滤波，然后ALF滤波器对两个色度分量的滤波结果分别与修正值ΔR Cb和ΔR Cr叠加，最后输出色度分量的值Cb和Cr。
具体而言，CC-ALF的滤波过程可以如下公式(11)所示：
Figure PCTCN2022137908-appb-000024
其中，ΔR i(x,y)表示色度分量i在样本位置(x,y)处的修正值(也即偏移值)；S i表示CC-ALF滤波器在亮度分量上支持的滤波区域；c i(x 0,y 0)表示色度分量i对应的滤波器系数；R Y表示亮度分量；(x c,y C)表示由色度分量得到的亮度分量的位置；(x 0,y 0)表示亮度分量对应的偏移位置，亮度分量对应的偏移位置是由色度分量的坐标根据视频序列对应的亮度和色度的缩放关系经过变换得到的。
CC-ALF支持如图6所示的3×4菱形滤波器。与ALF相比，CC-ALF的滤波器系数取消了对称性的限制，使其可以灵活的适应多种亮度分量和色度分量的相对关系。此外，为了减少需要传输的滤波器系数，在当前VVC的设计中，CC-ALF对其滤波器系数有如下两个限制：1、CC-ALF全部系数的和限制为0，因此对于3×4的菱形滤波器而言，只需要计算并传输7个滤波器系数，中心位置的滤波器系数可以根据该条件在解码端自动推断得出；2、每个需要传输的滤波器系数的绝对值必须为2的次方，且最多能用6比特表示，因此CC-ALF的滤波器系数的绝对值取值为{0,2,4,8,16,32,64}。该设计可以使用移位操作来代替乘法运算，减少乘法运算的次数。
与亮度分量的ALF支持子块级分类与自适应选择不同，CC-ALF仅支持CTU级的分类与自适应选择。对每个色度分量而言，一个CTU内的全部色度像素属于同一类别，使用相同的滤波器。
此外，一个APS(Adaptation Parameter Set，自适应参数集)可以包含最多25组亮度滤波器系数与对应的限幅值索引、两个色度分量最多8组色度滤波器系数与对应的限幅值索引，以及每个色度分量最多4组CC-ALF滤波器系数。为了节省码率，对于亮度分量的ALF滤波器而言，不同类别的滤波器系数可以进行合并(Merge)，进而使得多个类别共用一组滤波器系数，并且编码端会通过率失真优化(Rate-Distortion Optimization，简称RDO)决定哪些类别的系数可以合并，同时在条带头(Slice Header)中会标记当前条带使用的APS的索引。CC-ALF支持CTU级别的自适应，对于有多个滤波器的情况，在CTU级别会为每个色度分量自适应的选择是否使用CC-ALF以及所使用的滤波器的索引。
在目前的CC-ALF设计中，对每个色度分量最多只支持4个滤波器，即最多只支持4种不同的类别。类别的上限导致不同类别的可区分程度较差；CTU级粗糙的自适应选择导致不同内容的可区分程度较差，这些都会减少CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，降低CC-ALF的自适应能力，进而影响CC-ALF的性能。
基于此，本申请实施例的技术方案提出了一种新的技术方案，可以增加色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，以提高CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，进而可以提高CC-ALF的自适应能力和滤波性能，从而有利于提升编解码效率。
以下对本申请实施例的技术方案的实现细节进行详细阐述：

在步骤S710中，获取视频图像帧中的亮度分量在进行自适应环路滤波时的块分类信息。
其中，块分类信息指的是用于指示子块(subblock)级分类结果的信息，块分类信息可以是分类类别对应的标识信息，具体例如可以是分类索引。
可选地，亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类过程可以参考前述公式(1)至公式(10)计算得到具体的分类索引，进而可以确定亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息。
在步骤S720中，根据亮度分量在进行自适应环路滤波时的块分类信息，确定视频图像帧中的色度分量在进行跨分量自适应环路滤波时的块分类信息。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可以将亮度分量在进行ALF时针对子块的分类结果，作为色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对相同尺寸块的分类结果。例如，假设某个子块的亮度分量在进行ALF时的分类结果指示该子块属于第3类，则该子块的色度分量在进行CC-ALF时同样属于第3类，即该个子块的亮度分量在进行ALF时的类别可以和其在在进行CC-ALF时的类别进行共用。
由于亮度分量在进行ALF时的分类类别较多，因此通过将亮度分量在进行ALF时针对子块的分类结果，作为色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对相同尺寸块的分类结果，使得可以增加色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，提高了CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，进而可以提高CC-ALF的自适应能力和滤波性能，从而有利于提升编解码效率。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可以将亮度分量在进行ALF时针对子块的分类结果及对应的几何变换类型，作为色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对相同尺寸块的分类结果和几何变换类型。该实施例的技术方案同样可以增加色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，提高了CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，进而可以提高CC-ALF的自适应能力和滤波性能，从而有利于提升编解码效率。
在步骤S730中，根据色度分量在进行跨分量自适应环路滤波时的块分类信息，选择对应的滤波器系数对色度分量进行跨分量自适应环路滤波处理。
可选地，可以针对色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，分别确定对应的滤波器系数，进而可以根据色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息，选择对应的滤波器系数对 色度分量进行CC-ALF处理。
在本申请的一个实施例中，还可以根据亮度分量在进行ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果。比如，将亮度分量在进行ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果作为色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果。在具体的实施过程中，在进行ALF时对各类滤波器进行合并，可以是遍历每一种可能的合并方式对至少两个ALF滤波器进行合并，并计算对应的率失真开销，将按照率失真开销最小的合并方式得到合并结果作为在进行ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果。通过对滤波器进行合并，可以传输尽量少的滤波器系数，节省码率。
在本申请的一个实施例中，还可以根据亮度分量在ALF过程中进行滤波器合并的率失真开销，以及色度分量在CC-ALF过程中进行滤波器合并的率失真开销，确定亮度分量在进行ALF时，以及色度分量在进行CC-ALF时对各类滤波器的合并结果。该实施例的技术方案可以联合优化亮度分量的ALF和色度分量的CC-ALF，以同时决定亮度分量的ALF与色度分量的CC-ALF针对各类滤波器的合并结果。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可以根据亮度分量在进行ALF时所确定的滤波器数量，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的可用滤波器数量。比如，可以将亮度分量在进行ALF时所确定的滤波器数量作为色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的可用滤波器数量。
需要说明的是，图7所示实施例的环路滤波方法可以应用在视频编码端的编码过程中，也可以应用在视频解码端的解码过程中。
图8示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的视频编码方法的流程图，该视频编码方法可以由视频编码设备来执行。参照图8所示，该视频编码方法至少包括步骤S810至步骤S840，详细介绍如下：
在步骤S810中，获取视频图像帧中的亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息。
在步骤S820中，根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定视频图像帧中的色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息。
在步骤S830中，根据色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息，选择对应的滤波器系数对所述色度分量进行CC-ALF处理。
关于步骤S810至S830的相关解释和实现方式可以参考上文实施例。
在步骤S840中，根据所述亮度分量的ALF处理结果，以及所述色度分量的CC-ALF处理，对视频图像帧进行编码处理，得到视频码流。具体地，可以根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息确定对应的滤波器系数，根据滤波器系数对亮度分量进行ALF处理，得到ALF处理结果，从而可以根据ALF处理结果以及CC-ALF处理结果，对视频图像帧进行编码处理，得到视频码流。
在图8所示的视频编码方法中，可以增加色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，以提高CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，进而可以提高CC-ALF的自适应能力和滤波性能，从而有利于提升编码效率。
在本申请的实施例中，图8所示的视频编码方法中的块分类策略(即根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息)既可以单独来使用，也可以与其它的分类策略(如相关技术中的分类策略)共同使用。以下对这两种情况分别进行说明：
单独使用图8中所示的块分类策略：
在本申请的一个实施例中，如果单独使用图8所示的块分类策略，那么编码端可以在视频码流中编码视频图像帧的当前条带所对应的第一标志位，该第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式(即采用图8中的块分类策略的CC-ALF处理方式)。在该实施例中，由于是单独使用图8所示的块分类策略，因此当前条带所对应的第一标志位可以直接指示当前条带内的目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
可选地，如果第一标志位的值为第一值(比如为1)，则指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，或指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
如果第一标志位的值为第二值(比如为0)，则指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量均不采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
在本申请的一个实施例中，第一标志位为条带级的标志位，如果第一标志位的值指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，或者指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量不采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，那么无需编码块级的标志位。而在第一标志位的值指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式时，编码端可以在视频码流中编码得到当前条带包含的各个目标块所对应的第二标志位，该第二标志位的值用于指示对应目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。即在该实施例中，可以在条带级的标志位的基础上，进一步通过块级标志位(即第二标志位)来指示那些目标块的色度分量需要采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
可选地，由于存在两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)，因此对于一个目标块而言，可以针对目标块的两个色度分量各自设置一个第二标志位，每个第二标志位的值用于指示目标块中对应的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
作为一种可选的处理方式，目标块的两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)也可以对应于同一个第二标志位，该同一个第二标志位的值用于指示目标块中两个色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
类似地，对于当前条带而言，可以针对当前条带的两个色度分量各自设置一个第一标志位，每个第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中对应的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
作为一种可选的处理方式，当前条带的两个色度分量也可以对应于同一个第一标志位，该同一个第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的两个色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
需要说明的是：如果条带级的标志位是针对两个色度分量分别设置了一个第一标志位，那么块级的标志位也可以是针对两个色度分量分别设置一个第二标志位。如果块级的标志位是针对两个色度分量设置了一个第二标志位，那么条带级的标志位也只需要针对两个色度分量设置了一个第一标志位即可。
在本申请的一个实施例中，编码端可以通过率失真优化的方式来确定各个目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。具体而言，编码端可以计算各个目标块的色度分量在采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理时的第一率失真开销，并计算各个目标块的色度分量在不进行CC-ALF处理时的第二率失真开销，然后根据第一率失真开销和第二率失真开销，确定各个目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。比如，如果某个目标块的色度分量对应的第一率失真开销小于第二率失真开销，那么说明该目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式；如果某个目标块的色度分量对应的第一率失真开销大于第二率失真开销，那么说明该目标块的色度分量不采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。通过计算率失真开销来确定是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，可以在保证编码效率的同时，尽可能的节省率失真开销。
同时，需要说明的是：在决策各个目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式时，可以针对各个目标块的两个色度分量分别进行决策(即分别计算对应的率失真开销)，也可以针对各个目标块的两个色度分量同时进行决策(即将率失真开销叠加起来)。
同时使用图8中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略：
在本申请的一个实施例中，如果同时使用图8中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略，那么在进行编码时，需要在视频码流中编码当前条带所对应的第三标志位，该第三标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理；若当前条带中目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，则在视频码流中编码对应的自适应参数集的索引；在自适应参数集的索引所对应的自适应集中编码当前条带的色度分量所对应的第四标志位，该第四标志位的值用于指示当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时所采用的分类策略，该分类策略包括图8中所示的块分类策略(即根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息)或者其它的分类策略。
换句话说，如果同时使用了图8中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略，那么需要通过条带级的标志位(即第三标志位)指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理(可以是本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式或者是其它的CC-ALF处理方式)，如果进行CC-ALF处理，那么需要在对应的自适应参数集(通过自适应参数集的索引来进行引用)中编码分类策略的标志位(即第四标志位)，以明确指示采用图8中所示的块分类策略还是其它的分类策略。比如，若第四标志位的值为1，则说明需要采用图8中所示的块分类策略，如果第四标志位的值为0，则说明需要采用其它的分类策略。
需要说明的是：对于当前条带而言，如果当前条带引用的是已经编码过的帧的APS，那么由于对应的第四标志位已经在之前的APS中编码过了，就不用再次编码了；如果当前条带应用的APS还未进行编码(比如是当前帧的APS)，那么是需要在APS中编码第四标志位的。
可选地，如果第三标志位的值指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么为了区分哪些目标块需要进行CC-ALF处理，则可以在视频码流中编码当前条带包含的各个目标块所对应的第五标志位，该第五标志位的值用于指示对应目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理。比如，若某个目标块所对应的第五标志位的值为1，则说明该目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理；若某个目标块所对应的第五标志位的值为0，则说明该目标块的色度分量不需要进行CC-ALF处理。
需要说明的是：如果条带级的标志位(即第三标志位)指示的是当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量不需要进行CC-ALF处理，或者指示全部目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么就不需要引入块级的标志位(即第五标志位)。
作为一个示例，比如条带级标志位(即第三标志位)的值指示条带中的部分目标块需要进行CC-ALF处理，且编码分类策略的标志位(即第四标志位)指示采用图8中所示的块分类策略，那么如果某个目标块的块级标志位(即第五标志位)指示需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么对于该目标块而言，会采用图8中所示的块分类策略进行CC-ALF处理。
可选地，由于存在两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)，因此对于一个条带而言，可以采用类似前述实施例的技术方案，即针对当前条带的两个色度分量各自设置一个第三标志位，或者针对当前条带的两个色度分量设置同一个第三标志位。同样地，对于目标块而言，也可以针对目标块的两个色度分量各自设置一个第五标志位，或者针对目标块的两个色度分量设置同一个第五标志位。类似地，也可以针对两个色度分量在APS中各自设置一个第四标志位，或者针对两个色度分量在APS中设置同一个第四标志位。具体的说明可以参照前述实施例的技术方案，不再详述。
在本申请的一个实施例中，编码端可以通过率失真优化的方式来确定当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时是采用图8中所示的块分类策略还是其它的分类策略。具体而言，编码端可以计算当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量在采用图8所示的块分类策略进行CC-ALF处理时的第三率失真开销，并计算当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量在采用其它的分类策略进行CC-ALF处理时的第四率失真开销，然后根据第三率失真开销 和第四率失真开销，确定当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时所采用的分类策略。比如，如果某个条带对应的第三率失真开销小于第四率失真开销，那么说明该条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时是采用图8中所示的块分类策略；如果某个条带对应的第三率失真开销大于第四率失真开销，那么说明该条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时是采用其它的分类策略。
在本申请的一个实施例中，前述实施例中的目标块的尺寸信息可以是编码端与解码端预先设定好的；或者也可以是由编码端确定出的，并且在确定出目标块的尺寸信息之后，在视频码流的序列参数集、图像参数集、图像头或条带头中编码目标块的尺寸信息。比如，目标块可以是CTU，也可以是比CTU更小的块。
图9示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的视频解码方法的流程图，该视频解码方法可以由视频解码设备来执行。参照图9所示，该视频解码方法至少包括步骤S910至步骤S940，详细介绍如下：
在步骤S910中，获取视频图像帧中的亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息。
在步骤S920中，根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定视频图像帧中的色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息。
在步骤S930中，根据色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息，选择对应的滤波器系数对所述色度分量进行CC-ALF处理。
关于步骤S810至S830的相关解释和实现方式可以参考上文实施例。
在步骤S940中，根据亮度分量的ALF处理结果，以及色度分量的CC-ALF处理结果，对视频码流进行解码处理。
具体地，可以根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息确定对应的滤波器系数，根据滤波器系数对亮度分量进行ALF处理，得到ALF处理结果，从而可以根据ALF处理结果以及CC-ALF处理结果，对视频码流进行解码处理。
在图9所示的视频解码方法中，可以增加色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类类别，以提高CC-ALF中内容分类的准确度，进而可以提高CC-ALF的自适应能力和滤波性能，从而有利于提升编解码效率。
在本申请的实施例中，图9所示的视频解码方法中的块分类策略(即根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息)既可以单独来使用，也可以与其它的分类策略(如相关技术中的分类策略)共同使用。以下对这两种情况分别进行说明：
单独使用图9中所示的块分类策略：
在本申请的一个实施例中，如果单独使用图9所示的块分类策略(图9中所示的块分类策略与图8中所示的块分类策略是相同的)，那么解码端可以从视频码流中解码得到当前条带所对应的第一标志位，该第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式(即采用图9中的块分类策略的CC-ALF处理方式)。在该实施例中，由于是单独使用图9所示的块分类策略，因此当前条带所对应的第一标志位可以直接指示当前条带内的目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
可选地，如果第一标志位的值为第一值(比如为1)，则指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，或指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
如果第一标志位的值为第二值(比如为0)，则指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量均不采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
在本申请的一个实施例中，第一标志位为条带级的标志位，如果第一标志位的值指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式，或者指示当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量不采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处 理方式，那么无需解码块级的标志位(编码端也无需编码块级的标志位)。而在第一标志位的值指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式时，解码端需要在视频码流中解码得到当前条带包含的各个目标块所对应的第二标志位，该第二标志位的值用于指示对应目标块的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。即在该实施例中，可以在条带级的标志位的基础上，进一步通过解码得到块级标志位(即第二标志位)来指示那些目标块的色度分量需要采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
可选地，由于存在两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)，因此对于一个目标块而言，可以针对目标块的两个色度分量各自设置一个第二标志位，每个第二标志位的值用于指示目标块中对应的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
作为一种可选的处理方式，目标块的两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)也可以对应于同一个第二标志位，该同一个第二标志位的值用于指示目标块中两个色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
类似地，对于当前条带而言，可以针对当前条带的两个色度分量各自设置一个第一标志位，每个第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中对应的色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
作为一种可选的处理方式，当前条带的两个色度分量也可以对应于同一个第一标志位，该同一个第一标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的两个色度分量是否采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式。
需要说明的是：如果条带级的标志位是针对两个色度分量分别设置了一个第一标志位，那么块级的标志位也可以是针对两个色度分量分别设置一个第二标志位。如果块级的标志位是针对两个色度分量设置了一个第二标志位，那么条带级的标志位也只需要针对两个色度分量设置了一个第一标志位即可。
在本申请的一个实施例中，解码端在解码时还需要从视频码流中解码得到自适应参数集，其中包含有CC-ALF的滤波器系数，在这种情况下，如果第一标志位的值指示当前条带中至少有一个目标块的色度分量采用本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理，则可以从视频码流中解码得到当前条带对应的自适应参数集的索引，然后从与自适应参数集的索引相对应的自适应参数集中选择对应的滤波器系数对当前条件中对应的目标块的色度分量进行滤波处理。
同时使用图9中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略：
在本申请的一个实施例中，如果同时使用图9中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略，那么在进行解码时，需要从视频码流中解码得到自适应参数集，以及当前条带所对应的第三标志位，该第三标志位的值用于指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理；若当前条带中目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，则从视频码流中解码得到当前条带对应的自适应参数集的索引；然后从自适应参数集的索引所对应的自适应集中获取到当前条带的色度分量所对应的第四标志位，该第四标志位的值用于指示当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时所采用的分类策略，该分类策略包括图9中所示的块分类策略(即根据亮度分量在进行ALF时的块分类信息，确定色度分量在进行CC-ALF时的块分类信息)或者其它的分类策略。
换句话说，如果同时使用了图9中所示的块分类策略和其它的分类策略，那么需要通过条带级的标志位(即第三标志位)指示当前条带中的目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理(可以是本申请实施例中所提出的CC-ALF处理方式或者是其它的CC-ALF处理方式)，如果进行CC-ALF处理，那么需要在对应的自适应参数集(通过自适应参数集的索引来进行引用)中解码得到分类策略的标志位(即第四标志位)，以明确指示采用图9中所示的块分类策略还是其它的分类策略。
具体地，比如，若当前条带的色度分量所对应的第四标志位的值为第一值(如1)， 则指示当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时所采用的分类策略为图9所示的分类策略；若当前条带的色度分量对应的第四标志位的值为第二值(如0)，则指示当前条带的色度分量在进行CC-ALF处理时所采用的分类策略为其它的分类策略。
可选地，如果第三标志位的值指示当前条带中部分目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么为了区分哪些目标块需要进行CC-ALF处理，则可以从视频码流中解码得到当前条带包含的各个目标块所对应的第五标志位，该第五标志位的值用于指示对应目标块的色度分量是否进行CC-ALF处理。比如，若某个目标块所对应的第五标志位的值为1，则说明该目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理；若某个目标块所对应的第五标志位的值为0，则说明该目标块的色度分量不需要进行CC-ALF处理。
需要说明的是：如果条带级的标志位(即第三标志位)指示的是当前条带中全部目标块的色度分量不需要进行CC-ALF处理，或者指示全部目标块的色度分量需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么就不需要引入块级的标志位(即第五标志位)。
作为一个示例，比如条带级标志位(即第三标志位)的值指示条带中的部分目标块需要进行CC-ALF处理，且编码分类策略的标志位(即第四标志位)指示采用图9中所示的块分类策略，那么如果某个目标块的块级标志位(即第五标志位)指示需要进行CC-ALF处理，那么对于该目标块而言，会采用图9中所示的块分类策略进行CC-ALF处理。
可选地，由于存在两个色度分量(Cr和Cb)，因此对于一个条带而言，可以采用类似前述实施例的技术方案，即针对当前条带的两个色度分量各自设置一个第三标志位，或者针对当前条带的两个色度分量设置同一个第三标志位。同样地，对于目标块而言，也可以针对目标块的两个色度分量各自设置一个第五标志位，或者针对目标块的两个色度分量设置同一个第五标志位，具体的说明可以参照前述实施例的技术方案，不再详述。
在本申请的一个实施例中，前述实施例中的目标块的尺寸信息可以是编码端与解码端预先设定好的；或者也可以是由编码端确定出的，并且在确定出目标块的尺寸信息之后，在视频码流的序列参数集、图像参数集、图像头或条带头中编码目标块的尺寸信息，这样解码端需要从码流中解码出相应的尺寸信息。比如，目标块可以是CTU，也可以是比CTU更小的块。
以上分别从编码端和解码端对本申请实施例的技术方案进行了阐述，为了对本申请的实施细节进行更具体的说明，以下将更为详细的对本申请实施例的技术方案的实现细节进行阐述：
本申请实施例提出了根据亮度分量的ALF在子块级的分类情况决定色度分量的CC-ALF在同级别子块级的分类结果，同时提出根据分类结果在不同层级自适应的选择滤波器的方法，以下详细进行说明：
在一个方面，本申请实施例提出了将每个色度分量可支持的CC-ALF滤波器数目设置为亮度分量的可支持的ALF滤波器数目，同时根据亮度分量的ALF分类过程来决定色度分量的CC-ALF分类情况。本申请实施例所提出的技术方案可以单独使用或者合并使用。
具体而言，可以根据亮度分量的ALF在子块(subblock)级的分类情况，决定色度分量的CC-ALF的分类结果。
比如，可以将亮度分量的ALF在subblock级的分类结果，作为CC-ALF在同尺寸块上的分类结果。其中，亮度分量的ALF在subblock级的分类过程如前述公式(1)至公式(10)所述。
可选地，也可以将亮度分量的ALF在subblock级的分类结果以及对应的几何变换类型，作为色度分量的CC-ALF在同尺寸块上的分类结果与几何变换类型。其中，亮度分量的ALF在subblock级的分类过程如前述公式(1)至公式(10)所述。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可以根据亮度分量的ALF对各类滤波器的合并过程(Merge)，决定色度分量的CC-ALF对各类滤波器的合并过程。比如，可以将亮度分量的 ALF对各类滤波器的合并结果作为色度分量的CC-ALF对各类滤波器的合并结果。或者，可以通过联合优化亮度分量的ALF和两个色度分量的CC-ALF，以同时决定亮度分量的ALF与色度分量的CC-ALF对各类滤波器的合并结果。
在本申请的一个实施例中，可以根据亮度分量的ALF的最终滤波器数目，决定各个色度分量的CC-ALF可用的滤波器数目。
在另一个方面，本申请实施例提出了基于前述的色度分量的CC-ALF的分类方式在不同层级自适应的选择滤波器类别以及传输滤波器相关参数的技术方案。具体可以分为单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法的实施例，以及同时使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法与相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法的实施例。
单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法、且两个色度分量分别进行CC-ALF的选 择决策：
在本申请的一个实施例中，当在色度分量的CC-ALF中仅使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法时，可以为两个色度分量Cb与Cr分别进行CC-ALF的选择决策以及参数传输。
具体而言，对于每个色度分量，编码端需要传输的CC-ALF相关参数如下：
1、CTU级是否使用CC-ALF(On/Off)的标志位。比如，若该标志位为1，则表示当前CTU中对应的色度分量样本使用CC-ALF进行滤波(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果指示使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)；若该标志位为0，则表示当前CTU中对应的色度分量不使用CC-ALF滤波。
2、Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位。比如，该标志位为1，则表示当前条带中至少有一个CTU对应的色度分量选择使用CC-ALF(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果指示使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)；该标志位为0，则表示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都不使用CC-ALF。
可选地，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位为1，还可以表示当前条带中的全部CTU对应的色度分量都使用CC-ALF。
需要说明的是，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位指示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都不使用CC-ALF，或者指示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都使用CC-ALF，那么编码端无需编码CTU级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位，解码端也无需进行解码。
3、APS中相关参数：如果Slice级的CC-ALF标志位为1，则需要传输相关色度分量对应的CC-ALF滤波器组中各滤波器的系数。而其它的CC-ALF相关控制参数，比如滤波器组中包含的滤波器数目、滤波器合并索引等不需要额外传输，可通过亮度分量的ALF所对应的参数推断得出。
对于每个色度分量，编码端针对CTU级对应的色度分量是否使用CC-ALF(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果是使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)的决策过程如下：
A)计算当前CTU内对应色度分量的样本不使用CC-ALF滤波的率失真开销(RDCost)。
B)对当前CTU内对应色度分量的各样本，按照对应的亮度分量样本所属类别选择CC-ALF滤波器进行滤波，并计算率失真开销。其中，亮度分量的样本所属类别不需要显式传输，解码端可以在对亮度分量的样本进行处理的过程中推断得出。
C)比较两种情况计算得到的率失真开销，如果不使用CC-ALF滤波器的开销较小，则确定CTU级对应的色度分量不使用CC-ALF，可以将CTU级CC-ALF的标志位设为0；否则设为1。
单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法、且两个色度分量共同进行CC-ALF的选 择决策：
在本申请的一个实施例中，当在色度分量的CC-ALF中仅使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法时，可以针对两个色度分量Cb与Cr共同进行CC-ALF的选择决策以及参数传输。
具体而言，对于两个色度分量，编码端需要传输的CC-ALF相关参数如下：
1、CTU级是否使用CC-ALF(On/Off)的标志位。比如，若该标志位为1，则表示当前CTU中的两个色度分量样本使用CC-ALF进行滤波(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果指示使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)；若该标志位为0，则表示当前CTU中的两个色度分量不使用CC-ALF滤波。
2、Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位。比如，该标志位为1，则表示当前条带中至少有一个CTU的两个色度分量选择使用CC-ALF(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果指示使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)；该标志位为0，则表示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都不使用CC-ALF。
可选地，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位为1，还可以表示当前条带中的全部CTU的两个色度分量都使用CC-ALF。
需要说明的是，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位指示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都不使用CC-ALF，或者指示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都使用CC-ALF，那么编码端无需编码CTU级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位，解码端也无需进行解码。
3、APS中相关参数：如果Slice级的CC-ALF标志位为1，则需要传输两个色度分量对应的CC-ALF滤波器组中各滤波器的系数。而其它的CC-ALF相关控制参数，比如滤波器组中包含的滤波器数目、滤波器合并索引等不需要额外传输，可通过亮度分量的ALF所对应的参数推断得出。
对于两个色度分量，编码端针对CTU级的两个色度分量是否使用CC-ALF(由于是单独使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，因此如果指示使用CC-ALF进行滤波的话，那么在使用CC-ALF进行滤波时采用的就是本申请实施例所提出的分类方法)的决策过程如下：
A)计算当前CTU内的两个色度分量的样本不使用CC-ALF滤波的率失真开销(RDCost)。
B)对当前CTU内的两个色度分量的各样本，按照对应的亮度分量样本所属类别选择CC-ALF滤波器进行滤波，并计算两个色度分量总的率失真开销。其中，亮度分量的样本所属类别不需要显式传输，解码端可以在对亮度分量的样本进行处理的过程中推断得出。
C)比较两种情况计算得到的率失真开销，如果不使用CC-ALF滤波器的开销较小，则确定CTU级的两个色度分量不使用CC-ALF，可以将CTU级CC-ALF的标志位设为0；否则设为1。
同时使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法与相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方 法、且为两个色度分量分别指定分类方法：
在本申请的一个实施例中，当在色度分量的CC-ALF中同时使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法与相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法时，可以为两个色度分量Cb与Cr分别指定分类方法，以对当前帧内对应的色度分量的全部样本使用相应的分类方法，并分别进行CC-ALF的选择决策与相关参数传输。
具体而言，对于每个色度分量，编码端需要传输的CC-ALF相关参数如下：
1、CTU级是否使用CC-ALF(On/Off)的标志位。比如，若该标志位为1，则表示当前CTU中对应的色度分量样本使用CC-ALF进行滤波(具体滤波时采用的分类方法可以是本申请实施例中所提出的分类方法，也可以是相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方 法，具体采用哪种则需要通过APS中的标志位进一步指示)；若该标志位为0，则表示当前CTU中对应的色度分量不使用CC-ALF滤波。
2、Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位。比如，该标志位为1，则表示当前条带中至少有一个CTU对应的色度分量选择使用CC-ALF(类似的，具体滤波时采用的分类方法可以是本申请实施例中所提出的分类方法，也可以是相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法，具体采用哪种则需要通过APS中的标志位进一步指示)；该标志位为0，则表示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都不使用CC-ALF。
可选地，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位为1，还可以表示当前条带中的全部CTU对应的色度分量都使用CC-ALF。
需要说明的是，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位指示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都不使用CC-ALF，或者指示当前条带中全部CTU对应的色度分量都使用CC-ALF，那么编码端无需编码CTU级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位，解码端也无需进行解码。
3、当需要使用CC-ALF时，需要指示一个APS的索引，并在该索引对应的APS中用一个分类方法标志位指示对应的色度分量所使用的分类方法。比如，若该分类方法标志位为0，则表示使用相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法；若该分类方法标志位为1，则表示使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法。
4、如果APS中的该分类方法标志位为0，则说明需要使用相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法，进而可以按照相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的设计传输各级相关参数。
5、如果APS中的该分类方法标志位为1，则说明需要采用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，进而可以按照前述实施例中的方式传输各级相关参数。
对于每个色度分量，编码端针对CC-ALF的分类方法的选择决策过程如下：
A)按照相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法对当前条带(Slice)中的全部CTU进行CC-ALF的决策，并得到当前Slice的CC-ALF最佳率失真开销。
B)按照本申请实施例所提出的分类方法为当前Slice中全部CTU进行CC-ALF的决策，得到当前Slice在该分类方法下的最佳率失真开销。
C)比较两个Slice级的率失真开销，将APS中的分类方法标志位设为指示率失真开销较小的分类方法。
同时使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法与相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方 法、且为两个色度分量共同指定分类方法：
在本申请的一个实施例中，当在色度分量的CC-ALF中同时使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法与相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法时，两个色度分量Cb与Cr可以共用一个APS中的分类方法标志位，以对当前帧内两个色度分量的全部样本使用相同的分类方法，并为两个色度分量Cb与Cr进行CC-ALF的选择决策与相关参数的传输。
具体而言，对于两个色度分量，编码端需要传输的CC-ALF相关参数如下：
1、CTU级是否使用CC-ALF(On/Off)的标志位。比如，若该标志位为1，则表示当前CTU中的两个色度分量使用CC-ALF进行滤波(具体滤波时采用的分类方法可以是本申请实施例中所提出的分类方法，也可以是相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法，具体采用哪种则需要通过APS中的标志位进一步指示)；若该标志位为0，则表示当前CTU中的两个色度分量不使用CC-ALF滤波。
2、Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位。比如，该标志位为1，则表示当前条带中至少有一个CTU的两个色度分量使用CC-ALF(类似地，具体滤波时采用的分类方法可以是本申请实施例中所提出的分类方法，也可以是相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法，具体采用哪种则需要通过APS中的标志位进一步指示)；该标志位为0，则表示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都不使用CC-ALF。
可选地，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位为1，还可以表示当前条带中的全 部CTU的两个色度分量都使用CC-ALF。
需要说明的是，如果Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位指示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都不使用CC-ALF，或者指示当前条带中全部CTU的两个色度分量都使用CC-ALF，那么编码端无需编码CTU级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位，解码端也无需进行解码。
3、当需要使用CC-ALF时，需要指示一个APS的索引，并在该索引对应的APS中用一个分类方法标志位指示两个色度分量的分类方式。比如，若该分类方法标志位为1，则表示对两个色度分量的全部样本使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法；若该分类方法标志位为0，则表示对两个色度分量的全部样本使用相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法。
4、如果APS中该分类方法标志位为0，则说明对两个色度分量的全部样本使用相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法，进而可以按照相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的设计传输各级相关参数。
5、如果APS中该分类方法标志位为1，则说明对两个色度分量的全部样本使用本申请实施例所提出的分类方法，进而可以按照前述实施例中的所述的方式传输各级相关参数。
对于两个色度分量，编码端针对CC-ALF的分类方法的选择决策过程如下：
A)对两个色度分量Cb与Cr分别按照相关的CC-ALF技术中已存在的分类方法为当前Slice中的全部CTU进行CC-ALF的决策，得到当前Slice中两个色度分量总的CC-ALF最佳率失真开销。
B)对两个色度分量Cb与Cr分别按照本申请实施例所提出的分类方法为当前Slice中的全部CTU进行CC-ALF的决策，得到当前Slice中两个色度分量在当前分类方法下总的CC-ALF最佳率失真开销。
C)比较两个Slice级的两个色度分量总的率失真开销，将APS中的分类标志位设为指示率失真开销较小的分类方法。
值得注意的是：在上述的两个实施例中，CTU级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位、Slice级是否使用CC-ALF的标志位，以及APS中的分类方法标志位可以是针对每个色度分量分别设置一个标志位(即有两个CTU级标志位、两个Slice级标志位和两个APS级标志位，以分别对应两个色度分量)，也可以是针对两个色度分量都只设置一个标志位(即有1个CTU级标志位、1个Slice级标志位和1个APS级标志位，且对应于这两个色度分量)。
在本申请的其它实施例中，也可以是设置1个APS级标志位对应于两个色度分量，而Slice级标志位和CTU级标志位均设置为两个，即有两个CTU级标志位和两个Slice级标志位，以分别对应两个色度分量。
当然，也可以是设置1个APS级标志位对应于两个色度分量，设置1个Slice级标志位对应于两个色度分量，而CTU级标志位设置为两个，即有两个CTU级标志位，以分别对应两个色度分量。
需要说明的是，在本申请的上述实施例中，以CTU级的块为例进行了说明，在本申请的其它实施例中，也可以用于对其它尺寸的块级进行处理，比如除了尺寸为128×128的CTU级的块之外，也可以是64×64或者其它更小尺寸的块。
可选地，可以在编码端和解码端同时规定进行块级CC-ALF滤波选择的块级单元的尺寸，这样不需要传输块级单元的尺寸信息。此时，需要针对每个块级单元传输一个标志位以表示对应块单元是否使用CC-ALF。
可选地，也可以在编码端进行是否使用块级CC-ALF滤波的选择，并且将相应的块级单元的尺寸写入到码流中，解码端解析得出对应的块级单元的尺寸信息。该尺寸信息可以写在SPS(Sequence Parameter Set，序列参数集)、PPS(Picture Parameter Set， 图像参数集)、图片头(Picture Header)或者条带头(Slice Header)中。此外，需要针对每个块级单元传输一个标志位以表示对应块单元是否使用CC-ALF。
应该理解的是，虽然如上所述的各实施例所涉及的流程图中的各个步骤按照箭头的指示依次显示，但是这些步骤并不是必然按照箭头指示的顺序依次执行。除非本文中有明确的说明，这些步骤的执行并没有严格的顺序限制，这些步骤可以以其它的顺序执行。而且，如上所述的各实施例所涉及的流程图中的至少一部分步骤可以包括多个步骤或者多个阶段，这些步骤或者阶段并不必然是在同一时刻执行完成，而是可以在不同的时刻执行，这些步骤或者阶段的执行顺序也不必然是依次进行，而是可以与其它步骤或者其它步骤中的步骤或者阶段的至少一部分轮流或者交替地执行。
