Abstract

An image decoding device includes a circuit which executes a first process that derives motion information for a geometric partitioning mode to generate a motion compensation sample, and a second process that derives an intra prediction mode for the geometric partitioning mode to generate an intra predicted sample. The first process determines that the motion information can be derived based on bi-prediction from an application area to which inter prediction is applied, in a case where a coding block is included in a B slice, intra prediction is applied to one partitioned area partitioned by the geometric partitioning mode applied to the coding block, and the inter prediction is applied to another partitioned area.

Claims (22)

1 . An image decoding device comprising a circuit, wherein:

the circuit executes processes comprising:

a first process that derives motion information for a geometric partitioning mode to generate a motion compensation sample; and

a second process that derives an intra prediction mode for the geometric partitioning mode to generate an intra predicted sample, and

the first process determines that the motion information can be derived based on bi-prediction from an application area to which inter prediction is applied, in a case where a coding block is included in a B slice, intra prediction is applied to one partitioned area partitioned by the geometric partitioning mode applied to the coding block, and the inter prediction is applied to another partitioned area.

2 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first process derives the motion information based on the bi-prediction from a merge candidate list for a normal merge mode in a case where the bi-prediction is applicable to the application area of the inter prediction.

3 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first process derives the motion information based on the bi-prediction from a merge candidate list for the geometric partitioning mode in a case where the bi-prediction is applicable to the application area of the inter prediction.

4 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the circuit further executes a third process, and

in a case where the bi-prediction is applied to the application area of the inter prediction, and in a case where the motion information based on the bi-prediction is derived, the first process selects one of a merge candidate list for a normal merge mode and a merge candidate list for the geometric partitioning mode by a predetermined flag decoded by the third process, and derives the motion information based on the bi-prediction from the selected merge candidate list.

5 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first process stores the motion information derived based on the bi-prediction applied in units of sub-blocks in a case where the motion information based on the bi-prediction is derived in a case where the bi-prediction is applied to the application area of the inter prediction.

6 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first process corrects the derived motion information by DMVR in a case where the motion information by the bi-prediction is derived to the application area of the inter prediction.

7 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first process does not correct the derived motion information by DMVR in a case where the motion information based on the bi-prediction is derived to the application area of the inter prediction.

8 . The image decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the motion information based on the bi-prediction is derived into the application area of the inter prediction, and in a case where the derived motion information is corrected by the DMVR, the first process controls whether or not the OBMC can be applied for each block corrected by the DMVR in an inter prediction area.

9 . An image decoding method comprising:

deriving motion information for a geometric partitioning mode to generate a motion compensation sample;

deriving an intra prediction mode for the geometric partitioning mode to generate an intra predicted sample; and

determining that the motion information can be derived based on bi-prediction from an application area to which inter prediction is applied, in a case where a coding block is included in a B slice, intra prediction is applied to one partitioned area partitioned by the geometric partitioning mode applied to the coding block, and the inter prediction is applied to another partitioned area.

10 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program thereon for controlling a computer to function as an image decoding device, the computer comprising a circuit, and the program being executable to control the computer to execute processes comprising:

a first process that derives motion information for a geometric partitioning mode to generate a motion compensation sample; and

a second process that derives an intra prediction mode for the geometric partitioning mode to generate an intra predicted sample,

wherein the first process determines that the motion information can be derived based on bi-prediction from an application area to which inter prediction is applied, in a case where a coding block is included in a B slice, intra prediction is applied to one partitioned area partitioned by the geometric partitioning mode applied to the coding block, and the inter prediction is applied to another partitioned area.
