Sub-block temporal motion vector prediction for video coding

Abstract

A computing device performs a method of decoding video data by determining a co-located picture of the current coding unit; locating a spatial neighbor block of the current coding unit that corresponds to the co-located picture; determining a motion shift vector for the current coding unit from one or more motion vectors associated with the spatial neighbor block according to a predefined fixed order; and reconstructing a sub-block-based temporal motion vector for a respective sub-block of a plurality of sub-blocks in the current coding unit from a corresponding sub-block in the collocated picture based on the motion shift vector.
