Abstract
Embodiments of video coding systems and methods are described for reducing coding latency introduced by decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR). In one example, two non-refined motion vectors are identified for coding of a first block of samples (e.g. a first coding unit) using bi-prediction. One or both of the non-refined motion vectors are used to predict motion information for a second block of samples (e.g. a second coding unit). The two non-refined motion vectors are refined using DMVR, and the refined motion vectors are used to generate a prediction signal of the first block of samples. Such embodiments allow the second block of samples to be coded substantially in parallel with the first block without waiting for completion of DMVR on the first block. In additional embodiments, optical-flow-based techniques are described for motion vector refinement.
