Abstract: This application provides a motion vector obtaining method and apparatus. The method includes: determining a target offset vector of a block and identifier information of a target picture, wherein the block comprises at least one sub-block; determining a location of the sub-block; determining, as a target location coordinate value of a collocated sub-block, a location coordinate value obtained by performing a clipping operation on an initial location coordinate value in a range, wherein the initial location coordinate value is based on the location of the sub-block and the target offset vector; and obtaining a motion vector of the sub-block based on a motion vector corresponding to the target location coordinate value. Thus, a range of the target offset vector is limited, so that a quantity of memory read times can be reduced in a process of obtaining the motion vector of the collocated sub-block.

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.
