Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for generating virtual reference frames that may be used for prediction of input video frames. The virtual reference frames may be derived from already-coded reference frames and thereby incur reduced signaling overhead. Moreover, signaling of virtual reference frames may be avoided until an encoder selects the virtual reference frame as a prediction reference for a current frame. In this manner, the techniques proposed herein contribute to improved coding efficiencies.
