The present disclosure relates to motion vector determination using template matching. In particular, an initial motion vector and a template are obtained for a prediction block. Then a refinement of the initial motion vector is determined by template matching with said template in a search space. The search space is located on a position given by the initial motion vector. The template matching accesses integer sample positions within a predetermined window, the predetermined window including said search space and further integer sample positions accessible for the template matching, replaces at least one integer sample position located out of the window by at least one replacement value, each replacement value is based on at least one sample within said window, and uses the accessed integer sample position values as well as the at least one replacement value to perform the template matching.
