1. An apparatus configured to encode video information, the apparatus comprising: a memory unit configured to store an inter-layer reference picture comprising video information; and a processor operationally coupled to the memory and configured to: partition the inter-layer reference picture into a quadtree structure having a plurality of leafs; determine inter-component filter parameters specific to each individual leaf based upon the video information in each individual leaf, wherein the inter-component filter parameters comprise at least one of a high-pass filter coefficient, a quantization parameter, or a shift parameter; and signal the inter-component filter parameters for each of the leafs.
