    摘要: Systems and methods are described for video coding using generalized bi-prediction. In an exemplary embodiment, to code a current block of a video in a bitstream, a first reference block is selected from a first reference picture and a second reference block is selected from a second reference picture. Each reference block is associated with a weight, where the weight may be an arbitrary weight ranging, e.g., between 0 and 1. The current block is predicted using a weighted sum of the reference blocks. The weights may be selected from among a plurality of candidate weights. Candidate weights may be signaled in the bitstream or may be derived implicitly based on a template. Candidate weights may be pruned to avoid out-of-range or substantially duplicate candidate weights. Generalized bi-prediction may additionally be used in frame rate up conversion.

    摘要: An image decoding device (200) includes: a prediction signal generation unit (241D) configured to determine whether or not an application condition of BDOF processing is satisfied for each block, generate a prediction signal by executing the BDOF processing in a case where it is determined that the application condition is satisfied, and set the application condition based on a weight coefficient in a case where calculation is performed using pixel values of two reference frames or values calculated from the pixel values in the BDOF processing such that the application condition includes a condition on time distances between the two reference frames and a target frame.
