Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for implementing inter-coded resolution-adaptive video coding supported by resizing motion information of a current frame during motion prediction, reducing extensive computational costs and computing time that would be incurred as a result of extensive application of interpolation filters to generate picture information of a reference frame to sub-pixel granularity, and thus reducing computational cost and computing time of decoding as a whole. The methods and systems described herein include determining a ratio of the resolution of a reference frame to the resolution of a current frame; determining a motion vector of the block of the current frame, and calculating at least one pixel coordinate corresponding to the motion vector of the block of the current frame; resizing motion information of the block of the current frame according to a resolution of the reference frame in accordance with the ratio; locating a predictor block of the reference frame in accordance with the resized motion information; and subsequently minimizing or avoiding applying an interpolation filter to a block at the scaled coordinates at the reference frame to generate sub-pixel values of the predictor block.
