Abstract: The present invention provides an encoder for encoding a frame of a video sequence and a corresponding decoder. The encoder comprises a partitioner and an entropy coder. The partitioner is configured to receive a current block of the frame and obtain a list of candidate geometric partitioning (GP) lines. Each of the candidate GP lines is generated based on information of one or more candidate neighbor blocks of the current block. The partitioner is further configured to determine a final GP line that partitions the current block into two segments, select a GP line from the list of GP lines to obtain a selected GP line, and generate a GP parameter for the current block. The GP parameter includes offset information indicating an offset between the final GP line and the selected GP line. The entropy coder is configured to encode the GP parameter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a video encoder and a video decoder, which may both be used for partitioning a block in a current picture based on at least one partitioning predictor. The encoder and decoder are configured to select at least one reference picture and a plurality of blocks in the at least one reference picture. Further, to calculate, for each selected block, a projected location in the current picture based on a motion vector associated to the selected block in the reference picture. Then, they are configured to determine each selected block, of which the projected location spatially overlaps with the block in the current picture, to be a reference block, and generate for at least one reference block a partitioning predictor based on partitioning information associated to, for example stored in, the at least one reference picture.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for inter prediction of a current geometric partition of a coding block. When the coding block is enabled for a geometric partition merge mode, a merge candidate list for the coding block partitioned into two geometric partitions including the current geometric partition is generated. The merge candidate list generation comprises deriving one or more spatial merge candidates from neighboring coding units, and directly or immediately deriving one or more temporal motion vector predictions (MVPs). An uni-prediction MV is derived as a motion vector of the current geometric partition based on the merge candidate list. The current geometric partition of the coding block is predicted based on the uni-prediction MV to obtain a predicted value of the current geometric partition.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus partitions a video coding block based on coding information into two or more segments including a first segment and a second segment. The coding information comprises a first segment motion vector associated with the first segment and a second segment motion vector associated with the second segment. A co-located first segment in a first reference frame is determined based on the first segment motion vector and a co-located second segment in a second reference frame is determined based on the second segment motion vector. A predicted video coding block is generated based on the co-located first segment and the co-located second segment. A divergence measure is determined based on the first segment motion vector and the second segment motion vector and a first or second filter is applied depending on the divergence measure to the predicted video coding block.
