US Patent 11659164 Methods for cross component dependency reduction

A method for visual media processing, including: computing, during a conversion between a current video block of visual media data and a bitstream representation of the current video block, a cross-component linear model (CCLM) and/or a chroma residual scaling (CRS) factor for the current video block based, at least in part, on neighboring samples of a corresponding luma block which covers a top-left sample of a collocated luma block associated with the current video block, wherein one or more characteristics of the current video block are used for identifying the corresponding luma block.
