Method and apparatus for decoding/encoding video data

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for decoding/encoding video data. The method comprises obtaining (902) an encoded video bitstream comprising video data; generating (904) a current block of the video data (202; 302; 502); 702) for performing intra block copy prediction, a virtual search region (506; 606); 706) comprising one or more references to the one or more reconstructed pixels stored in the physical memory; and expanding (906) a search region (308) for performing the intra block copy prediction on the current block to include the virtual search region. 本公开提供了用于解码/编码视频数据的方法及装置。该方法包括获得(902)包括视频数据的经编码的视频比特流；生成(904)用于对该视频数据的当前块(202；302；502；702)执行帧内块复制预测的虚拟搜索区(506；606；706)，该虚拟搜索区包括对存储在物理存储器中的一个或多个重建像素的一个或多个参考；以及扩展(906)用于对该当前块执行该帧内块复制预测的搜索区(308)以包括该虚拟搜索区。
