Abstract
The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for coding video. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a video bitstream including a current coding block of a current image frame and determining that the current coding block is to be predicted in a weighted bi-prediction (WBP) mode. The method further includes in response to the current coding block being predicted in the WBP mode, determining that the current coding block is associated with two bi-prediction blocks and identifying a plurality of distinct weighting factor lists including at least a first list of positive weighting factors and a second list of mixed weighting factors. The method further includes selecting one of the weighing factor lists, identifying a first weighting factor from the weighing factor lists, and reconstructing the current image frame, including determining the current coding block by combining the two bi-prediction blocks based on the first weighting factor.
