Abstract:
A predictive coding system can encode motion vectors by determining a motion vector of a target partition in a frame picture of an encoding target; determining a first motion vector predictor candidate from a motion vector or motion vectors of one or more partitions belonging to a left-neighboring region to the target partition; determining a second motion vector predictor candidate from a motion vector or motion vectors of one or more partitions belonging to an above-neighboring region to the target partition; selecting an optimum motion vector predictor and outputting motion vector predictor indication information to specify the selected optimum motion vector predictor, the optimum motion vector predictor selected based on comparison between one or more motion vector predictor candidates including the first motion vector predictor candidate and the second motion vector predictor candidate, and the motion vector of the target partition; and encoding the motion vector predictor indication information.

Claim (Index 31):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor, the computer readable storage medium comprising:\n instructions executable by the processor to predictively decode a motion vector used in motion compensated prediction to restore a video sequence consisting of a temporal sequence of a plurality of frame pictures, comprising: instructions executable by the processor to determine a first motion vector predictor candidate that satisfies a predetermined criterion used in determination of motion vector predictor candidates, from motion vectors of partitions belonging to a left-neighboring region located on a left side of a target partition in a frame picture of a decoding target; instructions executable by the processor to determine a second motion vector predictor candidate satisfying a predetermined criterion used in determination of motion vector predictor candidates, from motion vectors of partitions belonging to an above-neighboring region located above the target partition; instructions executable by the processor to decode coded data and restore motion vector predictor indication information that specifies a motion vector predictor of the target partition; and instructions executable by the processor to select a motion vector predictor specified by the motion vector predictor indication information, from motion vector predictor candidates including at least the first motion vector predictor candidate and the second motion vector predictor candidate; wherein the instructions executable by the processor to determine the second motion vector predictor candidate include instructions executable by the processor to: scan the partitions belonging to the above-neighboring region, from a right direction to a left direction; determine, when there is a j-th partition in a scan order in the above-neighboring region and when the j-th partition includes a motion vector, whether the j-th partition and the target partition have a same reference picture list identification and reference picture identification; and determine the motion vector of the j-th partition as the second motion vector predictor candidate, in response to the j-th partition and the target partition having the same reference picture list identification and reference picture identification.
