Abstract: A mechanism for position dependent spatial varying transform (SVT) for video coding. A prediction block and a corresponding transformed residual block are received at a decoder. A type of spatial varying transform (SVT) employed to generate the transformed residual block is determined. A position of the SVT relative to the transformed residual block is also determined. An inverse of the SVT is applied to the transformed residual block to reconstruct a reconstructed residual block. The reconstructed residual block is then combined with the prediction block to reconstruct an image block.

Abstract: A motion vector prediction method includes parsing a bitstream to obtain an index value of a candidate motion vector list and constructing the candidate motion vector list that includes. candidate motion vectors of K control points of a current block. The candidate motion vectors of K control points are obtained based on a 2N-parameter affine transform model used for a neighboring block of the current block, where N and K are integers greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 4 with N not being equal to K. The method further includes determining, in the candidate motion vector list, target candidate motion vectors of the K control points based on the index value and obtaining a predicted motion vector of each subblock of the current block based on the target candidate motion vectors of the K control points.
