  • Patent number: 11962798
    Abstract: A video decoding apparatus decodes a sequence of one or more pictures in the unit of blocks which are split from each picture. The apparatus comprising a decoder configured to reconstruct, from a bitstream, a current motion vector difference of the current block among the blocks which belong to the sequence of one or more pictures, and an image decoder configured to predict and decode the current block using the motion vector of the current block. When the current motion vector difference of the current block is zero, the resolution of the current motion vector difference of the current block is set to the ΒΌ pixel precision without the information on the motion vector resolution extracted.
