Abstract
A method for inter-coding video is provided in which transmission bandwidth requirements associated with second motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction is reduced. In the method motion vector information for only one of the two motion vectors for bi-directional temporal prediction can be transmitted together with information on how to derive or construct the second motion vector. Thus, rather than sending express information regarding two motion vectors, express information related to only one motion vector along with information related to reconstruction/derivation of the second motion vector is transmitted, thus reducing bandwidth requirements and increasing coding efficiency.
Claims18
A method of inter-coding comprising:
- receiving information regarding a coding unit;
- determining motion information associated with said coding unit;
- determining whether more than one motion vector is associated with said motion information;
- determining a relationship between a first motion vector and a second motion vector if it is determined that said motion information is associated with more than one motion vector;
- and
- encoding said coding unit;
- wherein said coding unit comprises a control point for said second motion vector that provides information related to said first motion vector and information related to said relationship between said first motion vector and said second motion vector;
- wherein said information related to said relationship between said first motion vector and said second motion vector comprises information sufficient to reconstruct an MVP index and an MVD of said second motion vector,
- wherein said information related to said relationship between said first motion vector and said second motion vector comprises information regarding a reference slice.
