The partition process includes calculating first values of a set of pixels between a first partition and a second partition in a current block, using a first motion vector for the first partition; calculating second values of the set of pixels, using a second motion vector for the second partition; and calculating third values of the set of pixels by weighting the first values and the second values. When a ratio of a width to a height of the current block is larger than 4 or a ratio of the height to the width of the current block is larger than 4, the circuitry disables the partition process.

Abstract: This application provides a video picture decoding and encoding method and a video picture decoding and encoding apparatus. When it is determined that a merge or skip mode is used, if it is determined through decoding that a merge mode with motion vector difference (MMVD) indicator is true, a triangle prediction unit (PU) indicator may not be coded. The triangle PU indicator is coded when it is determined through decoding that the MMVD indicator is false. This reduces a quantity of used coding resources, and can reduce bit overheads of a bitstream.
