  • Patent number: 11949863
    Abstract: In response to a current block being partitioned into a first partition and a second partition based on a geometric partition mode, a first prediction type for the first partition and a second prediction type for the second partition are determined based on a flag associated with one of intra prediction, inter prediction, and intra block copy (IBC). Each of the first and second prediction types is one of the intra prediction, the inter prediction, and the IBC. Based on the first prediction type, a first prediction mode for the first partition of the current block is determined. Based on the second prediction type, a second prediction mode for the second partition of the current block is determined. The first partition of the current block is reconstructed based on the first prediction mode and the second partition of the current block is reconstructed based on the second prediction mode.

  • Publication number: 20240098279
    Abstract: In a method, coded information of a current block in a current picture of a video is received from a coded video bitstream. The coded information indicates that the current block is partitioned into at least a first partition and a second partition based on a geometric partition mode (GPM). The first partition is associated with an intra block copy (IBC) prediction mode, and the second partition is associated with an intra prediction mode. Prediction mode information for a first subblock of a plurality of subblocks of the current block is stored. The prediction mode information includes one of a DC mode, a Planar mode, and an intra prediction mode based on whether the first subblock is associated with one of the IBC prediction mode, the intra prediction mode, and both the IBC prediction mode and the intra prediction mode.

  • Patent number: 11917165
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry receiving prediction information of a plurality of blocks in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The processing circuitry determines, based on the prediction information, whether at least one of a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) mode or a bi-directional optical flow (BDOF) mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks. If the DMVR mode or the BDOF mode is allowed for the plurality of blocks, the processing circuitry determines that a plurality of merge with motion vector difference (MMVD) merge flags indicating whether a MMVD mode is applied to the plurality of blocks, respectively, is inferred as false for the plurality of blocks. If the plurality of MMVD merge flags is inferred as false, the processing circuitry reconstructs each block in the plurality of blocks without applying the MMVD mode.
