The paper proposes a Flexible-Region Based Adaptive In-Loop Filter (FRALF) for video coding, extending the existing Adaptive Loop Filter (ALF) used in AVS3 by introducing multiple region partition templates such as 2×4, 4×4, 4×8, and 8×8. It also presents a filter coefficient merging algorithm that estimates distortion levels across different partition regions to further improve coding efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that FRALF outperforms the current region-based ALF in AVS3 while keeping complexity increases relatively low.

In-loop filters have been comprehensively explored during the development of video coding standards due to their remarkable noise-reduction capability. In the early stage of video coding, in-loop filters, such as Deblocking Filter, Sample Adaptive Offset, and Adaptive Loop Filter, were performed separately for each component.
Scalable Neural Video Representation Compression (S-NVRC) introduces a scalable implicit neural representation (INR) video codec that supports fine-grained bitrate and decoding‑complexity scalability from a single embedded bitstream. It uses a coarse‑to‑fine prefix for feature grids and a nested prefix for network layers, enabling a wide range of operating points while maintaining a single encoding. On the UVG dataset, S‑NVRC outperforms SHM 12.4 and multi‑layer VTM‑20.0 by 43.7 % and 5.6 % in BD‑rate, respectively, and offers flexible complexity scalability.
The paper introduces MIRC, an overfitted image codec that quantizes and entropy‑codes all components—including latents, synthesis network, and entropy models—within a single end‑to‑end rate‑distortion framework inspired by NVRC. It adds a multi‑scale representation with cross‑stage parameter sharing to capture cross‑scale redundancy, yielding a 10.5 % BD‑rate saving over VVC on the CLIC2020 professional set. MIRC offers multiple configurations ranging from 1.2 to 2.9 kMAC per pixel, allowing decoding complexity to be tuned to deployment needs.
