Abstract

An encoder configured to generate an encoded bitstream for decoding by a compatible decoder, wherein the decoder receives the encoded bitstream with a current picture including a current block having a first partition boundary partitioning the block into first and second non-rectangular regions and a second partition boundary, intersecting the first partition boundary, and partitioning the second non-rectangular region into three portions. Using the encoded bitstream, the decoder determines a first predictor for use within the first non-rectangular region using a first motion vector selected from a first list of motion vector candidates, determines a second predictor for use within the second non-rectangular region using a second motion vector selected from a second list of motion vector candidates; and decodes the current block using the first predictor and the second predictor. Decoding further includes smoothing the first predictor and the second predictor across the first partition boundary.

Claims (14)

1. An encoder comprising circuitry configured to encode a bitstream for decoding by a compatible decoder, in which the decoder is configured to:

receive the encoded bitstream including a current picture, the current picture further including a current block having at least a first partition boundary partitioning the block into first and second non-rectangular regions, and a second partition boundary, intersecting the at least first partition boundary, partitioning the second non-rectangular region to partition the current block into three portions;

determine a first predictor for use within the first non-rectangular region using a first motion vector selected from a first list of motion vector candidates;

determine a second predictor for use within the second non-rectangular region using a second motion vector selected from a second list of motion vector candidates; and

decode the current block using the first predictor and the second predictor, wherein decoding further comprises smoothing the first predictor and the second predictor across the at least first partition boundary.

2. The encoder of claim 1 wherein the current block is a current coding tree unit.

3. The encoder of claim 1 wherein the first partition includes a first geometric partition.

4. The encoder of claim 1 wherein the second partition includes a second geometric partition.

5. An encoder comprising circuitry configured to encode a bitstream for decoding by a compatible decoder, in which the decoder is configured to:

receive the encoded bitstream, wherein the bitstream includes a current picture, the current picture including a current block having a block size of N×N where N is equal to 64 or 128, and having at least a first geometric partition boundary partitioning the block into first and second non-rectangular regions, and a second geometric partition boundary, intersecting the at least first geometric partition boundary, partitioning the second non-rectangular region to partition the current block into three portions;

determine a first predictor for use within the first non-rectangular region using a first motion vector selected from a first list of motion vector candidates;

determine a second predictor for use within the second non-rectangular region using a second motion vector selected from a second list of motion vector candidates; and

decode the current block using the first predictor and the second predictor, wherein decoding further comprises smoothing the first predictor and the second predictor across the at least first geometric partition boundary.

6. The encoder of claim 5 wherein the current block is a current coding tree unit.
