Abstract: An image prediction method and apparatus is disclosed. The image prediction method includes: determining, according to information about adjacent image units adjacent to a to-be-processed image unit, whether a set of candidate prediction modes for the to-be-processed image unit includes an affine merge mode, where the affine merge mode indicates that respective predicted images of the to-be-processed image unit and the adjacent image units of the to-be-processed image unit are obtained by using a same affine model; parsing a bitstream to obtain first indication information; determining, in the set of candidate prediction modes, a prediction mode for the to-be-processed image unit according to the first indication information; and determining a predicted image of the to-be-processed image unit according to the prediction mode. The method reduces a bit rate of encoding a prediction mode, thereby improving encoding efficiency.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining whether an inter prediction process is enabled is disclosed in this application. The method includes obtaining an indication, where the indication indicates whether a slice-level weighted prediction mechanism is to be enabled in the inter prediction process. The method further includes determining, based on the indication, whether a non-rectangular merge mode or whether the slice-level weighted prediction mechanism is to be enabled in the inter prediction process. Furthermore, an encoder for encoding a data stream, like a video stream, using an inter prediction process and a decoder for decoding an encoded data stream, like an encoded video stream, using an inter prediction process, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, an encoder, a decoder and corresponding methods for prediction refinement with optical flow (PROF) for an affine coded block, in which when a plurality of optical flow decision conditions are fulfilled for the affine coded block, performing a PROF process for a current sub-block of the affine coded block to obtain refined prediction sample values of the current sub-block of the affine coded block. After the sub-block based affine motion compensation is performed, a prediction sample value of the current sample of the current sub-block is refined by adding a delta prediction value. Thus, it allows for a better trade-off between coding complexity and prediction accuracy.
