  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11689719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to efficient signaling of an intra prediction mode for predicting a current block in intra prediction coding. According to an aspect of the present invention, a video encoding apparatus divides dozens of intra modes into groups, selects a group to which an actual intra mode of the current block to be encoded belongs, and signals a value corresponding to the group. The video decoding apparatus acquires information on the group to which the actual intra mode of the current block belongs from a bit-stream and then evaluates intra modes belonging to the group to select a final intra mode.
