Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for encoding and decoding image information. The encoding comprises receiving a block of pixels; creating a set of motion vector prediction candidates for the block of pixels; and examining the set to determine if a motion vector prediction candidate is a temporal motion vector prediction, or a spatial motion vector prediction. If the motion vector prediction candidate is a temporal motion vector prediction, the motion vector prediction candidate is kept in the set. If the motion vector prediction candidate is a spatial motion vector prediction, it is examined whether the set comprises a motion vector prediction candidate corresponding with the spatial motion vector prediction; and if so, the motion vector prediction candidate is removed from the set. Once the set is created, one of the candidates from the set is selected to represent a motion vector prediction for the block of pixels.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for encoding an image, the method comprising:\n creating, by a codec, a set of motion vector prediction candidates for a block of pixels; said creating the set comprising:\n examining if a motion vector prediction candidate is a temporal motion vector prediction or a spatial motion vector prediction; \n if the motion vector prediction candidate is a temporal motion vector prediction, including the motion vector prediction candidate in the set without comparing the motion vector prediction candidate with other motion vector prediction candidates in the set; and \n if the motion vector prediction candidate is based on only a spatial motion vector prediction, determining whether to include the motion vector prediction candidate in the set or not based on a value of the motion vector prediction candidate and a value of at least one spatial motion vector already included in the set; and \n selecting, by the codec, one motion vector prediction candidate from the set to represent a motion vector prediction for the block of pixels.
