FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: encoder interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on a plurality of different predefined interpolation filters. The decoder receives a syntax element which identifies an interpolation filter, and interpolates pixel values of reference video data based on the interpolation filter identified by the syntax element. In another example, a method of interpolating predictive video data includes generating half-pixel values based on integer pixel values, rounding the half-pixel values to generate half-pixel interpolated values, storing the half-pixel values as non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values and generating quarter-pixel values based on the non-rounded versions of the half-pixel values and the integer pixel values.
EFFECT: interpolation technique which is executable by an encoder and a decoder during the motion compensation process of video coding.
