The embodiment of the invention provides a motion information determination method and device for inter-frame prediction,
electronic equipment and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of video coding. The method comprises the following steps: determining a plurality of reference blocks corresponding to a target
coding block; in response to the
reference block in an inter-frame prediction mode, acquiring corresponding first motion information as a motion information candidate; in response to the fact that the
reference block is in the intra-frame prediction mode, acquiring second motion information selected during inter-frame prediction as a motion information candidate; generating a motion information candidate
list of the target
coding block; and performing
distortion estimation on the motion information candidates in the motion information candidate
list through
distortion estimation search, and determining target motion information of the target
coding block. According to the method, potential and valuable motion clues of motion information selected by an intra-frame prediction
reference block during inter-frame prediction are mined. Therefore, the source of the candidate
list is enriched, the quality of the
motion estimation starting point can be effectively improved, and the compression efficiency and the coding speed are improved.
