  • Publication number: 20220295077
    Abstract: Techniques are described for using an inter-intra-prediction block. A video coder may generate a first prediction block according to an intra-prediction mode and generate a second prediction block according to an inter-prediction mode. The video coder may weighted combine, such as based on the intra-prediction mode, the two prediction blocks to generate an inter-intra-prediction block (e.g., final prediction block). In some examples, an inter-intra candidate is identified in a list of candidate motion vector predictors, and an inter-intra-prediction block is used based on identification of the inter-intra candidate in the list of candidate motion vector predictors.

  • Patent number: 11445199
    Abstract: A method of processing a video bitstream includes determining a motion precision set based on coding information of a current block. A conversion between a video block and a coded representation of the video block is performed based on the motion precision set. The conversion corresponds to a reconstruction of the current block. In some example aspects, a motion vector difference (MVD) precision of a current block from a motion precision set is determined based on a selected motion precision set and a MVD precision index. A conversion between a video block and a coded representation of the video block using an MVD is performed based on the MVD precision. The MVD represents a difference between a predicted motion vector and an actual motion vector used during motion compensation processing.
