ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,610,056, issued on April 21, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Decoder side motion vector refinement for affine motion model" was invented by Han Huang (San Diego), Yan Zhang (San Diego), Vadim Seregin (San Diego) and Marta Karczewicz (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An example device includes one or more processors configured determine a plurality of subblocks for a current block of video data. For each subblock, the one or more processors (a) generate initial motion vectors for a first prediction direction and a second prediction direction according to an affine motion model, and (b) determine, based on the initial ...
