METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOTION VECTOR PREDICTION IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04N19/105 H04N19/52 

FIELD: physics, video.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to video encoding and decoding techniques. Disclosed is a method of deriving a motion vector for a current unit in an image based on motion vectors from a neighbouring unit in space. The method includes a step of determining a motion vector predictor (MVP) or at least one candidate MVP. Said vector and candidate thereof are associated with a selected reference image in a list of selected reference images for the current unit based on a first motion vector, a second motion sector, a first reference image, a second reference image and a selected reference image in a priority order. The priority sets the order of arrangement of candidate vectors. In particular a candidate vector with a higher priority order is considered as a predictor.

EFFECT: eliminating spatial and temporal redundancy by performing spatial and temporal prediction.
