Abstract:
An encoder includes memory and circuitry. The circuitry: derives a first motion vector in a unit of a prediction block using a first inter frame prediction mode that uses a degree of matching between two reconstructed images of two regions in two difference pictures, the prediction block being obtained by splitting an image included in a video; and performs, in the unit of the prediction block, a first motion compensation process that generates a prediction image by referring to a spatial gradient of luminance in an image generated by performing motion compensation using the first motion vector derived.
Abstract:
An encoder includes memory, and circuitry accessible to the memory. The circuitry accessible to the memory: determines whether OBMC is applicable to generation of a prediction image of a current block, according to whether BIO is to be applied to the generation of the prediction image of the current block; when BIO is to be applied to the generation of the prediction image of the current block, determines that OBMC is not applicable to the generation of the prediction image of the current block, and applies BIO to the generation of the prediction image of the current block without applying OBMC.

Abstract:
An image decoder includes circuitry and a memory, wherein the circuitry, in operation, performs a boundary smoothing operation along a boundary between a first partition having a triangular shape and a second partition having a triangular shape that are split from an image block. The boundary smoothing operation includes: first-deriving a first motion vector for the first partition from a first set of motion vector candidates; second-deriving a second motion vector for the second partition from a second set of motion vector candidates; first-predicting first values of a set of pixels of the first partition along the boundary, using the first motion vector; second-predicting second values of the set of pixels of the first partition along the boundary, using the second motion vector; weighting the first values and the second values; and decoding the first partition using the weighted first values and the weighted second values.

Abstract:
A video decoding device, in the case where a video of the progressive format is inputted, processes a frame as a picture, in the case where a video of the interlace format is inputted, processes a field as a picture. A video decoding device performs display control corresponding to a format of the both video by analyzing display control information in display control information analyzer. The display control information includes sequence unit display control information which is commonly used in a display process of all pictures that belong to a sequence to be decoded and picture unit display control information which is individually used in a display process of a picture to be decoded. A second code string analyzer acquires each of the sequence unit display control information and the picture unit display control information from an extended information area in units of pictures.
