Abstract: A motion vector prediction method includes parsing a bitstream to obtain an index value of a candidate motion vector list and constructing the candidate motion vector list that includes. candidate motion vectors of K control points of a current block. The candidate motion vectors of K control points are obtained based on a 2N-parameter affine transform model used for a neighboring block of the current block, where N and K are integers greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 4 with N not being equal to K. The method further includes determining, in the candidate motion vector list, target candidate motion vectors of the K control points based on the index value and obtaining a predicted motion vector of each subblock of the current block based on the target candidate motion vectors of the K control points.

Abstract: This disclosure discloses a method for obtaining a candidate motion vector list, an apparatus, an encoder, and a decoder. The method for obtaining a candidate motion vector list comprises: when a first candidate picture block is encoded/decoded and an inter prediction mode is used, determining whether a reference picture of the first candidate picture block is the same as a reference picture of a current block; and constructing a candidate motion vector list of the current block based on a determining result; when the reference picture of the first candidate picture block is different from the reference picture of the current block, the MV of the first candidate picture block is not used to construct the list. Implementing this disclosure can reduce complexity of a motion information derivation process, and improve coding efficiency.
