Abstract
In the encoding of video data, a list of references pictures is constructed to be used in decoding. Prediction (direction) modes are defined by n-tuples (x, x, . . . , x), where xspecifies prediction option of the m-th component of the motion vector field, m=0, . . . , M-1, where M components to the motion fields exist; where a coding option xis an element from a set composed of all defined combinations of motion prediction modes and reference picture indices, with the addition of an option '/', xε{'/', 0, 1, . . . , r−1}; where option “/” specifies that the component is not used, and other options 0, 1, . . . , r−1 specify one of rcombinations. A subset of all possible n-tuples is provided and a prediction mode used for predicting an inter-coded block is defined by reference to that subset.
