Motion information predictor selection

A device for obtaining a motion vector predictor for motion information of a current block of a picture comprising electronic circuitry configured for:

• obtaining an initial list of motion vector predictors candidates for the motion information of the current block;
• obtaining bi-prediction candidates from the initial list, each bi-prediction candidate comprising two motion vectors, a first motion vector of the two motion vectors pointing on a first prediction block in a first reference picture and a second motion vector of the two motion vectors pointing on a second prediction block in a second reference picture;
• calculating a score for the bi-prediction candidates of the initial list;
• and,
• obtaining the motion vector predictor for the motion information of the current block based on the calculated scores;
• wherein each score is a value representative of a difference between a first template and a second template, the first template corresponding to bottom-right samples of the first prediction block and the second template corresponding to bottom-right samples of the second prediction block corresponding spatially to the samples of the first template.
