Abstract
A method of removing a motion vector from a group of motion vectors used in an encoding process includes providing a list of motion vectors, selecting an initial motion vector from the list of motion vectors, and providing an intermediate motion vector using a motion vector refinement process. The motion vector refinement process uses, in part, the initial motion vector. The method also includes forming a region defined by one or more parameters associated with the initial motion vector and one or more parameters associated with the intermediate motion vector, selecting an additional motion vector from the list of motion vectors, determining that the additional motion vector points into the region, and modifying a state of the additional motion vector.
