Apparatus and methods for inter prediction refinement with optical flow

Abstract

Method, apparatus and systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of decoding includes obtaining a sub-block based motion prediction signal for a current block of the video; obtaining one or more spatial gradients of the sub-block based motion prediction signal or one or more motion vector difference values; obtaining a refinement signal for the current block based on the one or more obtained spatial gradients or the one or more obtained motion vector difference values; obtaining a refined motion prediction signal for the current block based on the sub-block based motion prediction signal and the refinement signal; and decoding the current block based on the refined motion prediction signal.
