Abstract:
Techniques and systems are provided for encoding video data. For example, restrictions on certain prediction modes can be applied for video coding. A restriction can be imposed that prevents inter-prediction bi-prediction from being performed on video data when certain conditions are met. For example, bi-prediction restriction can be based on whether intra-block copy prediction is enabled for one or more coding units or blocks of the video data, whether a value of a syntax element indicates that one or more motion vectors are in non-integer accuracy, whether both motion vectors of a bi-prediction block are in non-integer accuracy, whether the motion vectors of a bi-prediction block are not identical and/or are not from the same reference index, or any combination thereof. If one or more of these conditions are met, the restriction on bi-prediction can be applied, preventing bi-prediction from being performed on certain coding units or blocks.
