Method of deriving a motion vector of a bi-predictive block based on a motion vector of a co-located block in a reference picture
In one embodiment, the method includes selecting a list 0 motion vector of the co-located block in a first reference picture as the motion vector if the co-located block has the list 0 motion vector and a list 1 motion vector. The first reference picture is a type of reference picture permitted to be located temporally before or after the current picture. The method further includes selecting the list 1 motion vector of the co-located block in the first reference picture if the co-located block only has the list 1 motion vector, and deriving at least one motion vector of the bi-predictive block by applying a bit operation to the selected motion vector. The bit operation includes 8 bits right shift.
1. A method of deriving at least one motion vector of a bi-predictive block in a current picture from a motion vector of a co-located block in a reference picture, performed by a moving picture coding system, comprising:
selecting, by the moving picture coding system, a list 0 motion vector of the co-located block in the reference picture as the motion vector for deriving the at least one motion vector of the bi-predictive block regardless of whether the co-located block has a list 1 motion vector if the co-located block has the list 0 motion vector, the reference picture being a type of reference picture permitted to be located temporally before or after the current picture;
selecting, by the moving picture coding system, the list 1 motion vector of the co-located block in the reference picture if the co-located block only has the list 1 motion vector; and
deriving, by the moving picture coding system, the at least one motion vector of the bi-predictive block by applying a bit operation to the selected motion vector, the bit operation including 8 bits right shift.
