Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry, in inter prediction processing: derives a first motion vector of a current block to be processed, using a motion vector of a previous block which has been previously processed; derives a second motion vector of the current block by performing motion estimation in the vicinity of the first motion vector; and generates a prediction image of the current block by performing motion compensation using the second motion vector.

Abstract: Provided is an encoder that achieves further improvement. The encoder includes processing circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the processing circuitry: obtains two prediction images from two reference pictures; derives a luminance gradient value of each pixel position in each of the two prediction images; derives a luminance local motion estimation value of each pixel position in a current block; generates a luminance final prediction image using a luminance value and the luminance gradient value in each of the two prediction images, and the luminance local motion estimation value of the current block; and generates a chrominance final prediction image using at least one of the luminance gradient value of each of the two prediction images or the luminance local motion estimation value of the current block, and chrominance of each of the two prediction images.

Abstract: An encoder that; obtains two prediction images by performing motion compensation using two motion vectors; obtains a gradient value of each of pixels included in the two prediction images; derives a local motion estimation value for each of sub-blocks based on the pixel value and the gradient value of each of the pixels, the sub-blocks being obtained by partitioning the current block; and generates a final prediction image for the current block using the pixel value and the gradient value of each of the pixels, and the local motion estimation value derived for each of the sub-blocks. Each of the pixels in the two prediction images is interpolated with sub-pixel accuracy, and a reference range for the interpolation is included in a normal reference range that is referred to for motion compensation for the current block in normal inter prediction performed without using the local motion estimation value.

Abstract: A decoder that decodes a current block using a motion vector includes: a processor; and memory. Using the memory, the processor: derives a first candidate vector from one or more candidate vectors of one or more neighboring blocks that neighbor the current block; determines, in a first reference picture for the current block, a first adjacent region that includes a position indicated by the first candidate vector; calculates evaluation values of a plurality of candidate regions included in the first adjacent region; and determines a first motion vector of the current block, based on a first candidate region having a smallest evaluation value among the evaluation values. The first adjacent region is included in a first motion estimation region determined based on the position indicated by the first candidate vector.

Abstract: An encoding method is provided for encoding a picture to generate a coded stream. The encoding method incldues: generating a first prediction image of a current block included in a current picture by referring to a first region included in a reference picture different from the current picture; operating a bi-directional optical flow process to generate a second prediction image based on the first prediction image by referring to a second region included in the first region, and not operating the bi-directional optical flow process by referring to a third region not included in the first region; and encoding the current block based on the second prediction image.

Abstract: An encoder includes memory and circuitry accessible to the memory. The circuitry accessible to the memory: switches whether or not to apply arithmetic encoding to a binary data string in which image information has been binarized; binarizes frequency transform coefficient information according to different binarization formats between when arithmetic encoding is applied to the binary data string and when arithmetic encoding is not applied to the binary data string; and binarizes a part or the entirety of prediction parameter information according to a binarization format which is common between when arithmetic encoding is applied to the binary data string and when arithmetic encoding is not applied to the binary data string.
