US Patent 11831897 Concept of interweaved prediction

Methods, systems, and devices related to sub-block based motion prediction in video coding are described. In one representative aspect, a video processing method includes partitioning a video block into a first set of sub-blocks according to a first pattern, partitioning the video block into a second set of sub-blocks according to a second pattern, wherein at least one sub-block in the second set has a different size than a sub-block in the first set, and determining a prediction block corresponding to a combination of a first intermediate prediction block that is predictively generated from the first set of sub-blocks and a second intermediate prediction block that is predictively generated from the second set of sub-blocks.
