SIGNALING OF SYNTAX ELEMENTS FOR JOINT CODING OF CHROMINANCE RESIDUALS

摘要

Devices, systems and methods related to management of syntax flags with respect chroma formats in video processing are described. In one representative aspect, a video decoding method includes determining, based on a chroma format of a video comprising a region, whether one or more syntax flags applicable to the region of the video are absent in a syntax structure of a coded representation of the video. The one or more syntax flags are indicative of usage of a luma-dependent chroma residue scaling coding step for representing the region in the coded representation. The luma-dependent chroma residue scaling coding step comprises a scaling process in which a scaling coefficient is derived based on reconstructed luma samples and the scaling process is applied to a chroma residue. The method also includes generating one or more decoded video blocks of the video region by parsing the coded representation according to the determining.
