Abstract

Le présent mode de réalisation concerne un procédé et un dispositif de codage vidéo utilisant de manière adaptative un filtre de compensation de mouvement dans une prédiction basée sur un modèle affine. Dans le présent mode de réalisation, un dispositif de décodage d'image décode des informations de vecteur de mouvement de point de commande et des informations de modèle affine d'un bloc courant. Le dispositif de décodage d'image détermine une forme d'un modèle affine sur la base des informations de modèle affine et dérive des vecteurs de mouvement de point de commande du bloc courant sur la base du modèle affine et des informations de vecteur de mouvement de point de commande. Le dispositif de décodage d'image génère un vecteur de mouvement d'un sous-bloc au moyen des vecteurs de mouvement de point de commande du bloc courant et acquiert un paramètre de modèle géométrique du sous-bloc. Le dispositif de décodage d'image génère un bloc de référence à partir d'une image de référence au moyen du vecteur de mouvement du sous-bloc, et calcule des positions de pixels de référence dans le bloc de référence sur la base du paramètre de modèle géométrique. Le dispositif de décodage d'image applique un filtre d'interpolation aux pixels de référence afin de générer des valeurs de prédiction du sous-bloc, générant ainsi un bloc de prédiction du bloc courant.
