US Patent 10931969 Motion vector reconstructions for bi-directional optical flow (BIO)

For a bi-directional inter predicted block, a video decoder is configured, using a first MV, to locate a first predictive block in a first reference picture; using a second MV, locate a second predictive block in a second reference picture; for a first sub-block of the first predictive block, determine a first amount of bi-directional optical flow (BIO) motion; determine a first final predictive sub-block for the block of video data based on the first amount of BIO motion; for a second sub-block of the first predictive block, determine a second amount of BIO motion; determine a second final predictive sub-block for the block of video data based on the second amount of BIO motion; and based on the first final predictive sub-block and the second final predictive sub-block, determine a final predictive block for the block of video data.
