Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2023/105611, filed on Jul. 3, 2023, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure relates to the field of video coding technology, and more particularly, to a coding method, a decoder, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND Intra block copy (IBC) technology is an intra prediction technology in which prediction samples are obtained based on block matching. IBC is similar to inter prediction in that prediction is implemented based on a block vector directed to a reference block from a current block. The difference lies in that a reference block in inter prediction comes from a reconstructed picture that has been encoded, while a reference block in IBC comes from a reconstructed part of a current picture. Local illumination compensation (LIC) technology is a block-level linear transform technology. An LIC method is based on existence of a linear relationship between a current coding block and a reference block. In the related art, with IBC technology, a reference block can be determined from a current picture through block compensation. On this basis, IBC technology can be combined with LIC technology to perform linear transform on the reference block to determine a prediction block, thereby improving prediction accuracy. However, linear transform parameters for LIC technology are derived from reconstructed samples neighbouring a current block and reconstructed samples neighbouring a reference block, which is unable to provide a variety of parameter options and therefore has limitation, thus affecting coding performance. SUMMARY In a first aspect, a decoding method is provided in embodiments of the disclosure. The method is applied to a decoder. The method includes the following. A related syntax element for a current block is obtained, where the related syntax element indicates whether prediction on the current block is to be performed based on both a transform model list and an intra-block copy (IBC) technology. A reference block obtained by applying the IBC technology to the current block is determined. A first transform model obtained based on a constructed transform model list is determined according to the related syntax element, where the constructed transform model list includes at least two types of transform models. A prediction block for the current block is determined based on the reference block and the first transform model. In a second aspect, an encoding method is provided in embodiments of the disclosure. The encoding method is applied to an encoder. The method includes the following. A candidate block vector list for a current block is determined. A reference block vector is determined based on the candidate block vector list. A reference block is determined based on the reference block vector. If a prediction mode for the current block is determined to be an IBC technology combined with a transform model list, a first transform model is obtained from a constructed transform model list, where the constructed transform model list includes at least two types of transform models. A prediction block for the current block is determined based on the reference block and the first transform model. A related syntax element for the current block is encoded, and encoded bits obtained are signalled into a bitstream, where the related syntax element indicates whether prediction on the current block is to be performed based on both the transform model list and the IBC technology. In a third aspect, a decoder is provided in embodiments of the disclosure. The decoder includes a first memory and a first processor. The first memory is configured to store computer programs executable by the first processor. The first processor is configured to, when executing the computer programs, perform the decoding method described in the first aspect. In a fourth aspect, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having a computer program and a bitstream stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, enables the processor to perform the steps of the encoding method in the first aspect to generate the bitstream.
