SIMPLIFIED DEPTH BASED BLOCK PARTITIONING METHOD

摘要

Methods of depth-based block partitioning (DBBP) for multi-view video coding and 3D video coding are disclosed. Several methods are proposed to reduce the complexity of DBBP including (1) Limit the set of the DBBP derived partition candidates to be a subset of all partition candidates, such as only 2N×N and Nx2N; (2) Disable DBBP mode for several fixed CU sizes, e.g., only 8x8 CUs.
