Abstract
The present invention provides an encoder for encoding a frame of a video sequence and a corresponding decoder. The encoder comprises a partitioner and an entropy coder. The partitioner is configured to receive a current block of the frame and obtain a list of candidate geometric partitioning (GP) lines. Each of the candidate GP lines is generated based on information of one or more candidate neighbor blocks of the current block. The partitioner is further configured to determine a final GP line that partitions the current block into two segments, select a GP line from the list of GP lines to obtain a selected GP line, and generate a GP parameter for the current block. The GP parameter includes offset information indicating an offset between the final GP line and the selected GP line. The entropy coder is configured to encode the GP parameter.
