Abstract
The present disclosure relates to encoding and decoding of video images. Motion vectors are used for prediction of an image for a current coding unit, which is within a current coding tree unit. The motion vectors are taken from a list of motion vector candidates. The list is generated for the current coding unit using a pattern of positions of allowed motion vectors, and in dependence on the positions of the pattern relative to the current coding unit, and on the position of the current coding unit within the current coding tree unit. From the pattern, a subset of positions is selected and positions are restricted to positions within the current coding tree unit, while other pattern positions not available or not stored in a buffer are excluded. Other excluded pattern positions may be substituted and/or adjusted to as to become available and/or are being stored in the buffer.
