Abstract

A method is provided for decoding a data stream representative of an image or of a sequence of images, the stream comprising data representative of at least one portion of one of the images, the method implementing a step of predicting a motion vector of a partition of a current image portion, with respect to a reference causal zone which has been partitioned according to a mode of coding determined for the zone. The prediction step comprises, in relation to said current partition: partitioning anew at least one portion of the reference causal zone into a plurality of reference partitions, determining motion vectors respectively associated with reference partitions obtained subsequent to the new partitioning, determining a predictor motion vector on the basis of said determined motion vectors, and predicting the motion vector of said current partition on the basis of said determined predictor motion vector.
