Abstract:
An image coding method includes: selecting a first picture from plural pictures; setting a first temporal motion vector prediction flag which is associated with the first picture and is a temporal motion vector prediction flag indicating whether or not temporal motion vector prediction is to be used, to indicate that the temporal motion vector prediction is not to be used, and coding the first temporal motion vector prediction flag; coding the first picture without using the temporal motion vector prediction; and coding a second picture which follows the first picture in coding order, with referring to a motion vector of a picture preceding the first picture in coding order being prohibited.

Abstract:
An image coding method is provided for coding an image on a block-by-block basis. The method includes determining transform unit sizes in a block to be equal to or greater than a preset minimum transform unit size, setting prediction unit sizes in the block to be equal to the determined transform unit sizes, respectively, and predicting the block, on each prediction unit determined by using the prediction unit sizes to generate a prediction block. The method also includes transforming a difference between the block and the prediction block to residual data, on each transform unit determined by using the transform unit sizes, setting coding unit sizes in the block to be equal to the determined transform unit sizes, respectively, and coding the residual data on each coding unit determined by using the coding unit sizes to generate a bitstream.

Abstract:
A method of encoding a video into a coded video bitstream with temporal motion vector prediction comprises: determining a value of a flag for indicating whether temporal motion vector prediction is used or not used for the inter-picture prediction of a sub-picture unit of a picture; and writing the flag having the value into a header of the sub-picture unit or a header of the picture; wherein if the flag indicates that temporal motion vector prediction is used, the method further comprises: creating a first list of motion vector predictors comprising a plurality of motion vector predictors including at least one temporal motion vector predictor derived from at least one motion vector from a collocated reference picture; selecting a motion vector predictor out of the first list; and writing a first parameter into the coded video bitstream for indicating the selected motion vector predictor out of the first list.
