METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING OR DECODING VIDEO

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for decoding video. The method includes receiving a bitstream including a coding unit of a video frame, the coding unit being coded in a skip mode or a direct mode; determining whether the coding units has a width greater than a threshold width or a height greater than a threshold height; in response to the coding unit having the width greater than the threshold width or the height greater than the threshold height, enabling a motion vector angular prediction process to store one or more motion vector angular prediction candidates in a candidate list storing a plurality of motion candidates associated with the coding unit; and performing an inter prediction to the coding unit according to the candidate list and an index parsed from the bitstream.
