Temporally interpolated picture prediction using a frame-level motion vector

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon an encoded bitstream, wherein the encoded bitstream is configured for decoding by operations for prediction using a frame-level motion vector signaled within the encoded bitstream, the operations comprising:

• determining to use a generated reference frame associated with a current frame encoded to the encoded bitstream as a display frame in place of the current frame;
• generating, based on the determination, a prediction for the generated reference frame using the frame-level motion vector;
• and
• outputting, within an output video stream, a frame reconstruction produced based on the prediction.

An apparatus for prediction using a frame-level motion vector, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• generate a reference frame for a current frame to decode;
• determine to replace the current frame with the generated reference frame within an output video stream;
• generate, based on the determination, a prediction for the generated reference frame using a frame-level motion vector;
• and
• output, as a display frame within the output video stream, a frame reconstruction produced based on the prediction.
