METHOD OF CODING FOR DEPTH BASED BLOCK PARTITIONING MODE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL OR MULTI-VIEW VIDEO CODING

摘要

A method of video coding using coding modes including depth-based block partitioning (DBBP) in a multi-view or three-dimensional (3D) video coding system is disclosed. According to the present invention, when DBBP (depth-based block partition) is used to code a current texture coding unit, the DBBP partition mode is signaled so that the decoder does not need to go through complex computations to derive the DBBP partition mode. Various examples of determining the DBBP partition mode are disclosed.
