Abstract
The various embodiments described herein include methods and systems for encoding and decoding video. In one aspect, a method includes receiving video data comprising a plurality of blocks, including a first block. The method also includes obtaining, from the video data, a syntax element value indicating a wedge mode index corresponding to a first partition mode from a plurality of partition modes for the first block, where the wedge mode index is greater than 16. The method further includes determining that the first partition mode is associated with a compound wedge-based prediction for the first block. The method also includes partitioning the first block into a first section and a second section in accordance with the first partition mode and the wedge mode index, and decoding the first section in accordance with a first predictor and decoding the second section in accordance with a second predictor.
