    摘要: A temporal motion vector predictor is includable, together with one or more spatial motion vector predictors, in a set of motion vector predictors for a block to encode of a current frame. A method of determining the temporal motion vector predictor comprises selecting as the temporal predictor one motion vector from among motion vectors in a reference block of a reference frame different from the current frame. The reference block is a block of the reference frame collocated with the block to encode or a block of the reference frame neighboring the collocated block. The selection is based on a diversity criterion for achieving diversity among the predictors of the set.This can reduce the motion vector memory requirements with no or no significant additional coding efficiency penalty. Alternatively, even if the motion vector memory is not reduced in size, coding efficiency improvements can be achieved.

    摘要: A method of encoding a mode value representing a prediction mode comprises selecting from among at least first and second encoding processes an encoding process to apply to the mode value to be encoded. The first encoding process comprises encoding first information indicating a predetermined relationship between the mode value to be encoded and at least one predetermined value. The second encoding process comprises encoding second information representing the mode value to be encoded. The encoding by the second encoding process takes account of the outcome of at least one prior first encoding process. This can be achieved by updating mode probabilities based on the outcome of the first, as well as the second, encoding process. Such a method creates a link between the first and second encoding processes and can improve coding efficiency.
