Abstract

Different implementations are described, particularly implementations for selecting a predictor candidate from a set of multiple predictor candidates for motion compensation of a picture block based on a motion model. The motion model, may be, e.g., an affine model in a merge mode for a video content encoder or decoder. In an embodiment, a predictor candidate is selected from the set based on a motion model for each of the multiple predictor candidates, and may be based on a criterion such as, e.g., a rate distortion cost. The corresponding motion field is determined based on, e.g., one or more corresponding control point motion vectors for the block being encoded or decoded. The corresponding motion field of an embodiment identifies motion vectors used for prediction of sub-blocks of the block being encoded or decoded.
