Abstract
A method of decoding video data performed by an electronic device is provided. The method receives the video data and determines a block unit from a current frame included in the video data. The method further determines, for the block unit, multiple integer-sample reference blocks and multiple fractional-sample reference blocks from the current frame, determines multiple integer-sample template cost values based on the plurality of integer-sample reference blocks, and determines multiple fractional-sample template cost values based on the multiple fractional-sample reference blocks. The method then selects multiple prediction reference blocks from the multiple integer-sample reference blocks and the multiple fractional-sample reference blocks based on the multiple integer-sample template cost values and the multiple fractional-sample template cost values and reconstructs the block unit based on the multiple prediction reference blocks. Each of the multiple fractional-sample reference blocks is located at one of multiple fractional-sample positions in the current frame.
