Abstract
A video encoder may be configured to adaptively select a sub-pixel precision for motion vectors used to encode video data. The video encoder may further entropy encode an indication of the sub-pixel precision using context adaptive binary arithmetic coding, where the context may correspond to the size of a block of video data for the motion vector. For example, the size may correspond to the depth of a coding unit, the size of a prediction unit of the coding unit, and/or a type for the prediction unit. The video encoder may also interpolate values for one-sixteenth pixel positions of chrominance data using bilinear interpolation. The video encoder may further encode a motion vector difference value for the motion vector using an encoding scheme corresponding to the sub-pixel precision of the motion vector. A video decoder may use similar, reciprocal techniques for decoding the video data.
