Abstract
Decoding a current block of a current frame includes selecting a first reference frame for forward inter prediction of the current frame; selecting a second reference frame for backward inter prediction of the current frame; generating an optical flow reference frame portion for inter prediction of the current block by performing an optical flow estimation using the first reference frame and the second reference frame, where the optical flow estimation produces a respective motion field for pixels of the current block; and performing a prediction process for the current block using the optical flow reference frame portion by: using a motion vector used to encode the current block to identify a reference block; adjusting boundaries of the reference block using a subpixel interpolation filter length; and identifying blocks encompassing pixels within the adjusted boundaries of the reference block.
