Abstract: A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream and calculating a final planar prediction in planar mode to predict pixel values for a current coding block. The final planar prediction may rely on using unequal weights applied to each of a horizontal and vertical predictor, where such predictors may be generated by interpolating neighboring pixels for each predicted pixel within a coding block. The computation may be made more accurate by deriving a value for a bottom right neighboring pixel.

Abstract: A method for inter-coding video in which encoder and decoder memory requirements associated with storage of motion information related to collocated coding units is reduced. In the method motion information related to only a single or reduced set of collocated coding unit(s) may be stored at the encoder and decoder. In operation, if the encoder determines that motion information for a current coding unit should replace a currently stored motion information for currently stored motion information for the collocated coding unit, then the encoder can replace the motion information at the encoder and transmit an indicator with the current coding unit to signal to the decoder that currently stored motion information currently should be updated or replaced with the motion information associated with the current coding unit.

Abstract: A method is provided for inter-coding video in which transmission bandwidth requirements associated with second motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction is reduced.

Thus, rather than sending express information regarding each of the plurality of motion vectors, express information related to only one motion vector along with information related to reconstruction/derivation of the second motion vectors is transmitted, thus reducing bandwidth requirements and increasing coding efficiency.
