Abstract
A device may determine whether to enable or disable bi-directional optical flow (BIO) for a current coding unit (CU) (e.g., block and/or sub-block). Prediction information for the CU may be identified and may include prediction signals associated with a first reference block and a second reference block (e.g., or a first reference sub-block and a second reference sub-block). A prediction difference may be calculated and may be used to determine the similarity between the two prediction signals. The CU may be reconstructed based on the similarity. For example, whether to reconstruct the CU with BIO enabled or BIO disabled may be based on whether the two prediction signals are similar. It may be determined to enable BIO for the CU when the two prediction signals are determined to be dissimilar. For example, the CU may be reconstructed with BIO disabled when the two prediction signals are determined to be similar.
