Abstract
A motion vector for a current block of a current frame is decoded. The motion vector for the current block refers to a first reference block in a first reference frame. A first prediction block of two or more prediction blocks is identified in the first reference frame and using the first reference block. A first grid-aligned block is identified based on the first reference block. A second reference block is identified using a motion vector of the first grid-aligned block in a second reference frame. A second prediction block of the two or more prediction blocks is identified in the second reference frame and using the second reference block. The two or more prediction blocks are combined to obtain a prediction block for the current block.
