Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of coding implemented by a decoding device, comprising obtaining a bitstream; obtaining a value of an indicator for a current block according to the bitstream; obtaining a value of a first parameter for the current block and a value of a second parameter for the current block, according to the value of the indicator and a predefined lookup table; obtaining a value of a sample distance for a sample which is located in the current block, according to the value of the first parameter and the value of the second parameter; obtaining a prediction value for the sample, according to the value of the sample distance for the sample.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of coding implemented by a decoding device, the method comprising: obtaining a value of an indicator for a current block according to a bitstream; obtaining a value of a first parameter for the current block and a value of a second parameter for the current block according to the value of the indicator and a predefined lookup table; obtaining a value of a sample distance for a sample which is located in the current block according to the value of the first parameter and the value of the second parameter; and obtaining a prediction value for the sample according to the value of the sample distance for the sample, including: determining two weighting factors corresponding to the two sub-blocks according to the sample distance value; and obtaining the prediction value for the sample according to a first prediction value for a first sub-block of the two sub-blocks based on a first prediction mode, a second prediction value for a second sub-block of the two sub-blocks based on a second prediction mode and the two weighting factors; wherein the predefined lookup table is: merge_gpm_partition_idx 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 angleIdx 0 0 2 2 2 2 3 3 distanceIdx 1 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 merge_gpm_partition_idx 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 angleIdx 5 5 8 8 11 11 11 11 distanceIdx 2 3 1 3 0 1 2 3 merge_gpm_partition_idx 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 angleIdx 14 14 14 14 16 16 18 18 distanceIdx 0 1 2 3 1 3 1 2 merge_gpm_partition_idx 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 angleIdx 21 21 24 24 27 27 27 28 distanceIdx 2 3 1 3 1 2 3 1 merge_gpm_partition_idx 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 angleIdx 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 distanceIdx 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 merge_gpm_partition_idx 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 angleIdx 12 12 12 12 13 13 13 13 distanceIdx 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 merge_gpm_partition_idx 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 angleIdx 18 19 19 19 20 20 20 21 distanceIdx 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 merge_gpm_partition_idx 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 angleIdx 28 28 29 29 29 30 30 30 distanceIdx 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
