Inconsistencies between spec and reference decoder for intra block copying

Description

When intra_bc_flag is 1, the specification says that CuPredMode is MODE_INTRA.

However, the reference code sets the mode to MODE_INTRABC.

This causes some inconsistencies in residual_coding and other places.

For example, consider a coding unit using MODE_INTRABC.
Line 1311 of TDecSbac.cpp calls parseInterRdpcmMode, but the specification in 7.3.8.11 will not read inter_rdpcm_flag.
This results in the arithmetic engine diverging.

I would appreciate clarification on the following points (where I think the specification and reference decoder mismatch):

  1. Is it correct for block copying intra modes to use MODE_INTRA in the specification?
  2. Is inter_rdpcm_flag read from the bitstream in block copying mode?
  3. Is predModeIntra defined for block copying mode? (It is used when calculating signHidden)
  4. Is the Intra or Inter ScalingList used in block copying mode?
  5. In the 8.4.2 derivation of luma inter prediction mode can the derivation of candIntraPredModeX use the value of IntraPredModeY for neighbours made from block copying intra?
  6. In the parsing of PartSize, should block copying mode be treated as Intra or Inter?

Looking more carefully, I would like to delete point 6.
part_mode (PartSize in the reference decoder) is not present in the bitstream when intra_bc_flag is 1, and so PartMode defaults to PART_2Nx2N as specified in the semantics for part_mode.

With respect to point 3, I see that in 7.4.9.11 it is explicitly said that predModeIntra is undefined when using block copying. I assume that this means that the comparisons in 7.3.8.11 that check (predModeIntra == 10 || predModeIntra == 26 ) are expected to fail because we are comparing an undefined value with a defined value.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

In answer to your questions:

  • (1) It is correct for the specification to use MODE_INTRA for intraBC
  • (2) Issues regarding inter_rdpcm_flag have been fixed following adoptions in Geneve
  • (3) predModeIntra is defined to be undefined for intraBC
  • (4) Intra scaling list is used for intra block copy

Fixed in O1005v1:

  • (5) IntraBC blocks should not be available for derivation of candIntraPredModeX
