Chroma from Luma (CfL) is a coding tool that predicts chroma information based on reconstructed luma samples. The proposed CfL for AV1 computes a scaling factor α at the encoder by comparing reconstructed luma, original chroma, and chroma DC prediction samples. It then predicts chroma by applying α to a difference between reconstructed luma and chroma DC prediction. Experimental results on 50 4:2:0 images showed average bitrate savings of 1.2589% for PSNR and larger savings for chroma quality metrics compared to AV1 without CfL. Future work remains to optimize the method before proposing it for adoption in AV1.
