Abstract: Systems and methods are described for video coding using affine motion prediction. In an example method, motion vector gradients are determined from respective motion vectors of a plurality of neighboring sub-blocks neighboring a current block. An estimate of at least one affine parameter for the current block is determined based on the motion vector gradients. An affine motion model is determined based at least in part on the estimated affine parameter(s), and a prediction of the current block is generated using the affine motion model. The estimated parameter(s) may be used in the affine motion model itself. Alternatively, the estimated parameter(s) may be used in a prediction of the affine motion model. In some embodiments, only neighboring sub-blocks above and/or to the left of the current block are used in estimating the affine parameter(s).
