Abstract: This application provides a video picture prediction method and apparatus, to resolve a problem in a conventional technology that a length of a coded video sequence is increased. The first type of identifier may be added to a bitstream. The first type of identifier is used to indicate whether an affine motion model-based inter prediction mode is enabled for a video picture. For a video picture or a picture block included in the slice for which the affine motion model does not need to be used, a parameter, related to the affine motion model, of the picture block may not need to be transmitted. On a decoder side, during decoding of the picture block, the parameter related to the affine motion model does not need to be parsed. This can reduce load of a decoder, increase a processing speed, and decrease a processing time.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first motion vector of a motion compensation unit included in an affine code block. The method also includes determining a second motion vector based on the first motion vector, where a precision of the second motion vector matches a motion vector precision of a storage unit corresponding to the motion compensation unit.

Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a picture prediction method and apparatus, and a corresponding encoder and decoder. A prediction direction of a current picture block is considered when a size of a subblock in the current picture block is determined. For example, if a prediction mode of the current picture block is unidirectional prediction, the size of the subblock is 4×4; or if a prediction mode of the current picture block is bidirectional prediction, the size of the subblock is 8×8.

Abstract: Technologies for inter prediction for a block in a video are provided. In one example, a method includes: parsing a bitstream to obtain a syntax element, where the syntax element includes at least an index of optimal candidate motion information of a current block; determining, based on the syntax element, to construct a first list or a second list for the current block, where the first list is a block-based candidate motion information list, and the second list is a subblock-based candidate motion information list; determining optimal motion information from the first list or the second list based on the index; and predicting the current block based on the optimal motion information. In this method, the block-based candidate motion information list and the subblock-based candidate motion information list are distinguished from each other. This effectively reduces transmission costs of the optimal candidate motion information.

Abstract: A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes selecting a split mechanism to split a coding unit (CU) into sub-CUs for application of one or more transform units (TUs), the selection of the split mechanism based on comparing a CU width to a max TU width and comparing a CU height to a max TU height. The selected split mechanism is applied to the CU to obtain sub-CUs. A residual of one of the sub-CUs is determined. The residual includes a difference between sample values for the sub-CU and prediction samples for the sub-CU. The TUs are applied to transform the residual of the CU based on results of the selected split mechanism. A transformed residual for the CU is encoded into a bitstream.
