Abstract

In one example, an apparatus includes a video encoder configured to partition a block of video data into a first partition and a second partition using a geometric motion partition line, calculate a prediction value of a pixel in a transition region of the block using a filter that applies a value for at least one neighboring pixel from the first partition and a value for at least one neighboring pixel from the second partition, calculate a residual value of the pixel in the transition region of the block based on the prediction value of the pixel in the transition region, and output the residual value of the pixel. In one example, a video decoder may use a similar filter to decode an the encoded block after receiving the residual value for the encoded block, and using a definition of the geometric motion partition line.
