Abstract: A prediction image generation method using two prediction images to generate a prediction image by a device is provided. First and second prediction image are generated. Bidirectional prediction gradient change prediction processing is performed by using a first shift value and difference values of the first and second prediction images respectively in horizontal and vertical directions to generate a first, second, third and fourth gradient images. Motion information is derived by using the first and second prediction images, the first, second, third and fourth gradient images, a second shift value, and a third shift value. Motion compensation correction value is derived by using the motion information and the first, second, third and the fourth gradient images. The prediction image is generated by using the first and second prediction images and the motion compensation correction value. The first, second and third shift values are respectively equal to 6, 4 and 1.

Abstract: NPL 2 describes prediction (BIO prediction) using BIO processing in which in a case that a prediction image is derived, a gradient image is utilized to achieve high image quality, and this prediction involves an assumption that pixel values are temporally constant. Thus, there is a problem in that a fade image in which a pixel value has a temporal variation or the like is not successfully processed. A bi-directional optical flow sample prediction process unit that generates a prediction image using a gradient image derived from two interpolation images derives interpolation images for determining an optical flow by using a weight coefficient and an offset coefficient decoded from coded data for weighted bi-prediction, and generates a prediction image.

Abstract: In a case of referring to information between pictures by means of inter prediction, the entire picture needs to be decoded even in a case of decoding a small region. In a case of referring to information within a picture by means of intra prediction, referring to information across a tile boundary is not possible. In a case that a pixel pointed by a sub-block level motion vector of a target block that is calculated by scaling based on an available motion vector acquired from a spatial neighboring block or a temporal neighboring block is not present within a tile sequence, a process of replacing the pixel value with a pixel value within the tile sequence is performed. In a case of referring to a pixel outside of a tile by means of intra prediction, a process of replacing the pixel value with that of a pixel within the tile is performed.
