Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one embodiment, the method includes determining a motion vector of a current image block equal to a motion vector of an image block based on a reference picture index indicating a reference picture for the image block. For example, the motion vector of the current image block may be equal to the motion vector of the image block if the reference picture index indicates a long-term reference picture for the image block.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of determining and using motion vectors for a bi-predictive image block, the method performed by a moving picture coding system and comprising: obtaining, by the moving picture coding system, a motion vector of a co-located image block for the bi-predictive image block; determining, by the moving picture coding system, motion vectors of the bi-predictive image block based on a type of a reference picture of the co-located image block, the type b…
