    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include systems and methods for coding a video comprising a plurality of pictures including a current picture, a first reference picture, and a second reference picture, where each picture includes a plurality of blocks. In one method, for at least a current block in the current picture, a number of available bi-prediction weights is determined based at least in part on a temporal layer and/or a quantization parameter of the current picture. From among available bi-prediction weights a pair of weights are identified. Using the identified weights, the current block is then predicted as a weighted sum of a first reference block in the first reference picture and a second reference block in the second reference picture. Encoding techniques are also described for efficient searching and selection of a pair of bi-prediction weights to use for prediction of a block.

    Abstract: Overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC) may be performed for a current video block based on motion information associated with the current video block and motion information associated with one or more neighboring blocks of the current video block. Under certain conditions, some or all of these neighboring blocks may be omitted from the OBMC operation of the current block. For instance, a neighboring block may be skipped during the OBMC operation if the current video block and the neighboring block are both uni-directionally or bi-directionally predicted, if the motion vectors associated with the current block and the neighboring block refer to a same reference picture, and if a sum of absolute differences between those motion vectors is smaller than a threshold value. Further, OBMC may be conducted in conjunction with regular motion compensation and may use simplified filters than traditionally allowed.
