Abstract: A picture partitioning method and apparatus are described. The method includes determining a split mode of a current node, where the current node includes a luma block and a chroma block. The method further includes determining, based on the split mode of the current node and a size of the current node, that the chroma block of the current node is not further split. In accordance with the chroma block of the current node not being further split, the method includes splitting the luma block of the current node based on the split mode of the current node. In accordance with the chroma block of the current node not being further split, the method may be used to split only the luma block of the current node, thereby improving encoding and decoding efficiency, reducing a maximum throughput of a codec, and facilitating implementation of the codec.

Abstract: This application discloses an inter prediction method, where a to-be-processed block includes one or more subblocks, and the method includes: determining a temporal offset vector of the to-be-processed block based on a spatially neighboring block of the to-be-processed block, where the temporal offset vector is used to determine a collocated subblock of the subblock of the to-be-processed block; and determining a motion vector of the subblock of the to-be-processed block based on a motion vector of the collocated subblock, where the motion vector of the subblock of the to-be-processed block is obtained based on a first preset motion vector when the motion vector of the collocated subblock is unavailable. This application can improve prediction accuracy in coding and increase coding efficiency.

Abstract: This application discloses a method for constructing an MPM list, a method for obtaining an intra prediction mode of a chroma block, and an apparatus. In a specific implementation, a MIP mode is used for a current block, and the method for constructing an MPM list includes: obtaining intra prediction mode information of a neighboring block; determining, based on the intra prediction mode information of the neighboring block, whether an intra prediction mode of the neighboring block is the MIP mode; and skipping using the intra prediction mode of the neighboring block for MPM list construction of the current block if the intra prediction mode of the neighboring block is not the MIP mode; or using the intra prediction mode of the neighboring block for MPM list construction of the current block if the intra prediction mode of the neighboring block is the MIP mode.

Abstract: Disclosed are an inter prediction method based on an affine prediction mode and a related apparatus. The method includes: obtaining a predicted pixel value of a current affine block; obtaining an LIC flag of the current affine block, where the LIC flag is used to indicate whether local illumination compensation LIC is applied to the current affine block; and when the LIC flag indicates that LIC is applied to the current affine block, updating the predicted pixel value of the current affine block based on an update coefficient for LIC, to obtain an updated predicted pixel value of the current affine block.

Abstract: When probability estimation is performed in encoding and decoding processes, probability distribution of an unquantized image feature is estimated based on a hyperprior feature of the unquantized image feature via a first probability distribution estimation network, and then probability distribution of a quantized image feature is obtained through quantization. Alternatively, probability distribution of a quantized image feature is directly estimated based on a hyperprior feature of an unquantized image feature via a second probability distribution estimation network.

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.
