Abstract: An encoder determines, based on a width and a height of a block, whether or not to disable a prediction mode in which the block is split along a partitioning line defined by a distance and an angle and then prediction is performed; and encodes the block with the prediction mode disabled or not disabled according to a result of the determination on whether or not to disable the prediction mode. Here, the distance is the shortest distance between the center of the block and the partitioning line, and the angle is an angle representing a direction from the center of the block toward the partitioning line in the shortest distance. The encoder determines to disable the prediction mode when (i) a width-to-height ratio is at least 8 or (ii) a height-to-width ratio is at least 8.

Abstract: An encoder includes memory and circuitry configured to determine a merge mode to be applied to a current block, wherein the merge mode includes a sub-block merge mode and a first merge mode. In the merge mode, inter-prediction parameters are inferred from a neighboring block neighboring the current block. In the sub-block merge mode, the current block includes a plurality of sub-blocks, and inter-prediction parameters are provided for each of the plurality of sub-blocks. When the merge mode is determined to be the first merge mode, the circuitry generates a prediction image for the current block by performing a bi-directional optical flow prediction process, wherein the bi-directional optical flow prediction process uses a spatial gradient for the current block. When the merge mode is determined to be the sub-block merge mode, the circuitry generates a prediction image for the current block by not performing the bi-directional optical flow prediction process.
