Abstract: A method for coding video data is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a center motion vector of a coding block; deriving a first motion vector range for the coding block based on the center motion vector and a motion vector spread, wherein the motion vector spread depends on a size of the coding block; if the first motion vector range is at least partially pointing outside a first area including a reference picture, updating the first motion vector range to point within the first area, such that a minimum value or a maximum value of the updated first motion vector range is pointing at a boundary of the first area.

Abstract: Motion vectors (MVs) are used as predictors for prediction of an image for a current coding unit (CU) within a current video frame. The MVs are from a list of motion vector candidates (MVCs), which is generated. The list includes MVs determined from a first or second pattern, each pattern specifying MVC positions. The first MV positions are within a current video frame, while the second MV positions are for a video frame different from the current frame. The MVC list is generated for a current CU with the MV positions being relative to a position of the current CU. In particular, the MVC list is generated in dependence on a size of the current CU and a size of a grid specifying a minimum distance between two MV positions. One or more MVs as specified by the MV positions of said pattern are included into the MVC list.
