Patent attributes
A method for video processing is provided to include: determining, based on an inheritance rule, whether to use a local illumination compensation (LIC) mode for a conversion between a current block of a video region of a video and a coded representation of the video, and performing the conversion based on the determining. The LIC mode includes using a linear model of illumination changes in the current block during the conversion. The inheritance rule specifies to inherit a use of the LIC mode from a base merge candidate of an ultimate motion vector expression (UMVE) mode, and the UMVE mode includes using a motion vector expression that includes a base merge candidate and motion vector differences utilized to refine the motion information of the base merge candidate.
