MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202418078171 A) filed by Beijing Dajia Internet Information Technology Co. , Ltd. on October 15, 2024, for Constrained Motion Vector Derivation For Long-Term Reference Pictures In Video Coding.

Inventors include Chen, Yi-Wen; Xiu, Xiaoyu; Wang, Xianglin; and Ma, Tsung-Chuan.

The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.

Abstract: A method of constraining the operations of certain inter-mode coding tools in the derivation of motion vector candidates for inter- mode coded blocks employed in video coding standards, such as the now-current Versatile Video Coding (VVC), is performed at a computing device. The computing device determines whether one or more of the reference pictures associated with an inter-mode coded block involved in an operation of an inter-mode coding tool are long-term reference pictures, and constrains the operation of the inter-mode coding tool on the inter-mode coded block based on the determination.
