- This patent document is related to video coding technologies. Specifically, it is related to motion vector coding in image/video coding. It may be applied to the existing video coding standard like HEVC, or the standard (Versatile Video Coding) , third generation of the Chinese Audio and Video coding Standard (AVS3) to be finalized. It may be also applicable to future video coding standards or video codec.
- Video coding standards have evolved primarily through the development of the well-known ITU-T and ISO/IEC standards.
- the ITU-T produced H. 261 and H. 263, ISO/IEC produced MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 Visual, and the two organizations jointly produced the H. 262/MPEG-2 Video and H. 264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) and H. 265/HEVC standards.
- AVC H. 264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding
- H. 265/HEVC High Efficiency Video Coding
- the video coding standards are based on the hybrid video coding structure wherein temporal prediction plus transform coding are utilized.
- An example of a typical HEVC encoder framework is depicted in FIG. 1.
- the core of the coding layer in previous standards was the macroblock, containing a 16 ⁇ 16 block of luma samples and, in the usual case of 4: 2: 0 color sampling, two corresponding 8 ⁇ 8 blocks of chroma samples.
- An intra-coded block uses spatial prediction to exploit spatial correlation among pixels.
- Two partitions are defined: 16x16 and 4x4.
- An inter-coded block uses temporal prediction, instead of spatial prediction, by estimating motion among pictures.
- Motion can be estimated independently for either 16x16 macroblock or any of its sub-macroblock partitions: 16x8, 8x16, 8x8, 8x4, 4x8, 4x4 (see Fig. 2) . Only one motion vector (MV) per sub-macroblock partition is allowed.
- a CTU is split into CUs by using a quadtree structure denoted as coding tree to adapt to various local characteristics.
- the decision whether to code a picture area using inter-picture (temporal) or intra-picture (spatial) prediction is made at the CU level.
- Each CU can be further split into one, two or four PUs according to the PU splitting type. Inside one PU, the same prediction process is applied and the relevant information is transmitted to the decoder on a PU basis.
- a CU can be partitioned into transform units (TUs) according to another quadtree structure similar to the coding tree for the CU.
- TUs transform units
- Coding tree units and coding tree block (CTB) structure The analogous structure in HEVC is the coding tree unit (CTU) , which has a size selected by the encoder and can be larger than a traditional macroblock.
- the CTU consists of a luma CTB and the corresponding chroma CTBs and syntax elements.
- HEVC then supports a partitioning of the CTBs into smaller blocks using a tree structure and quadtree-like signaling.
- Coding units and coding blocks (CBs)
- the quadtree syntax of the CTU specifies the size and positions of its luma and chroma CBs. The root of the quadtree is associated with the CTU. Hence, the size of the luma CTB is the largest supported size for a luma CB.
- the splitting of a CTU into luma and chroma CBs is signaled jointly.
- a CTB may contain only one CU or may be split to form multiple CUs, and each CU has an associated partitioning into prediction units (PUs) and a tree of transform units (TUs) .
- PUs prediction units
- TUs tree of transform units
- Prediction units and prediction blocks The decision whether to code a picture area using inter picture or intra picture prediction is made at the CU level.
- a PU partitioning structure has its root at the CU level.
- the luma and chroma CBs can then be further split in size and predicted from luma and chroma prediction blocks (PBs) .
- HEVC supports variable PB sizes from 64 ⁇ 64 down to 4 ⁇ 4 samples.
- Fig. 3 shows examples of allowed PBs for a MxM CU.
- the prediction residual is coded using block transforms.
- a TU tree structure has its root at the CU level.
- the luma CB residual may be identical to the luma transform block (TB) or may be further split into smaller luma TBs. The same applies to the chroma TBs.
- Integer basis functions similar to those of a discrete cosine transform (DCT) are defined for the square TB sizes 4 ⁇ 4, 8 ⁇ 8, 16 ⁇ 16, and 32 ⁇ 32.
- DCT discrete cosine transform
- an integer transform derived from a form of discrete sine transform (DST) is alternatively specified.
- a CB can be recursively partitioned into transform blocks (TBs) .
- the partitioning is signaled by a residual quadtree. Only square CB and TB partitioning is specified, where a block can be recursively split into quadrants, as illustrated in FIGS. 4A-4B.
- a flag signals whether it is split into four blocks of size M/2 ⁇ M/2. If further splitting is possible, as signaled by a maximum depth of the residual quadtree indicated in the SPS, each quadrant is assigned a flag that indicates whether it is split into four quadrants.
- the leaf node blocks resulting from the residual quadtree are the transform blocks that are further processed by transform coding.
- the encoder indicates the maximum and minimum luma TB sizes that it will use. Splitting is implicit when the CB size is larger than the maximum TB size. Not splitting is implicit when splitting would result in aluma TB size smaller than the indicated minimum.
- the chroma TB size is half the luma TB size in each dimension, except when the luma TB size is 4 ⁇ 4, in which case a single 4 ⁇ 4 chroma TB is used for the region covered by four 4 ⁇ 4 luma TBs.
- intra-picture-predicted CUs the decoded samples of the nearest-neighboring TBs (within or outside the CB) are used as reference data for intra picture prediction.
- the HEVC design allows a TB to span across multiple PBs for inter-picture predicted CUs to maximize the potential coding efficiency benefits of the quadtree-structured TB partitioning.
- a CTB is divided according to a quad-tree structure, the nodes of which are coding units.
- the plurality of nodes in a quad-tree structure includes leaf nodes and non-leaf nodes.
- the leaf nodes have no child nodes in the tree structure (i.e., the leaf nodes are not further split) .
- The, non-leaf nodes include a root node of the tree structure.
- the root node corresponds to an initial video block of the video data (e.g., a CTB) .
- the respective non-root node corresponds to a video block that is a sub-block of a video block corresponding to a parent node in the tree structure of the respective non-root node.
- Each respective non-leaf node of the plurality of non-leaf nodes has one or more child nodes in the tree structure.
- JVET Joint Video Exploration Team
- the QTBT structure removes the concepts of multiple partition types, i.e. it removes the separation of the CU, PU and TU concepts, and supports more flexibility for CU partition shapes.
- a CU can have either a square or rectangular shape.
- a coding tree unit (CTU) is first partitioned by a quadtree structure.
- the quadtree leaf nodes are further partitioned by a binary tree structure.
- the binary tree leaf nodes are called coding units (CUs) , and that segmentation is used for prediction and transform processing without any further partitioning.
- a CU sometimes consists of coding blocks (CBs) of different colour components, e.g. one CU contains one luma CB and two chroma CBs in the case of P and B slices of the 4: 2: 0 chroma format and sometimes consists of a CB of a single component, e.g., one CU contains only one luma CB or just two chroma CBs in the case of I slices.
- CBs coding blocks
- - CTU size the root node size of a quadtree, the same concept as in HEVC.
- MaxBTSize the maximally allowed binary tree root node size.
- the CTU size is set as 128 ⁇ 128 luma samples with two corresponding 64 ⁇ 64 blocks of chroma samples
- the MinQTSize is set as 16 ⁇ 16
- the MaxBTSize is set as 64 ⁇ 64
- the MinBTSize (for both width and height) is set as 4 ⁇ 4
- the MaxBTDepth is set as 4.
- the quadtree partitioning is applied to the CTU first to generate quadtree leaf nodes.
- the quadtree leaf nodes may have a size from 16 ⁇ 16 (i.e., the MinQTSize) to 128 ⁇ 128 (i.e., the CTU size) .
- the quadtree leaf node is also the root node for the binary tree and it has the binary tree depth as 0.
- MaxBTDepth i.e., 4
- no further splitting is considered.
- MinBTSize i.e., 4
- no further horizontal splitting is considered.
- the binary tree node has height equal to MinBTSize
- no further vertical splitting is considered.
- the leaf nodes of the binary tree are further processed by prediction and transform processing without any further partitioning. In the JEM, the maximum CTU size is 256 ⁇ 256 luma samples.
- FIG. 5A illustrates an example of block partitioning by using QTBT
- FIG. 5B illustrates the corresponding tree representation.
- the solid lines indicate quadtree splitting and dotted lines indicate binary tree splitting.
- each splitting (i.e., non-leaf) node of the binary tree one flag is signalled to indicate which splitting type (i.e., horizontal or vertical) is used, where 0 indicates horizontal splitting and 1 indicates vertical splitting.
- the quadtree splitting there is no need to indicate the splitting type since quadtree splitting always splits a block both horizontally and vertically to produce 4 sub-blocks with an equal size.
- the QTBT scheme supports the ability for the luma and chroma to have a separate QTBT structure.
- the luma and chroma CTBs in one CTU share the same QTBT structure.
- the luma CTB is partitioned into CUs by a QTBT structure
- the chroma CTBs are partitioned into chroma CUs by another QTBT structure. This means that a CU in an I slice consists of a coding block of the luma component or coding blocks of two chroma components, and a CU in a P or B slice consists of coding blocks of all three colour components.
- inter prediction for small blocks is restricted to reduce the memory access of motion compensation, such that bi-prediction is not supported for 4 ⁇ 8 and 8 ⁇ 4 blocks, and inter prediction is not supported for 4 ⁇ 4 blocks.
- these restrictions are removed.
- TT ternary tree
- FIG. 6 (a) quad-tree partitioning 6 (b) vertical binary-tree partitioning 6 (c) horizontal binary-tree partitioning 6 (d) vertical center-side ternary-tree partitioning 6 (e) horizontal center-side ternary-tree partitioning.
- a CTU is firstly partitioned by region tree (RT) .
- a RT leaf may be further split with prediction tree (PT) .
- a PT leaf may also be further split with PT until max PT depth is reached.
- a PT leaf is the basic coding unit. It is still called CU for convenience.
- a CU cannot be further split.
- Prediction and transform are both applied on CU in the same way as JEM.
- the whole partition structure is named ‘multiple-type-tree’ .
- Each inter-predicted PU has motion parameters for one or two reference picture lists.
- Motion parameters include a motion vector and a reference picture index. Usage of one of the two reference picture lists may also be signalled using inter_pred_idc.
- Motion vectors may be explicitly coded as deltas relative to predictors, such a coding mode is called AMVP mode.
- a merge mode is specified whereby the motion parameters for the current PU are obtained from neighbouring PUs, including spatial and temporal candidates.
- the merge mode can be applied to any inter-predicted PU, not only for skip mode.
- the alternative to merge mode is the explicit transmission of motion parameters, where motion vector, corresponding reference picture index for each reference picture list and reference picture list usage are signalled explicitly per each PU.
- the PU When signalling indicates that one of the two reference picture lists is to be used, the PU is produced from one block of samples. This is referred to as ‘uni-prediction’ . Uni-prediction is available both for P-slices and B-slices.
- Bi-prediction When signalling indicates that both of the reference picture lists are to be used, the PU is produced from two blocks of samples. This is referred to as ‘bi-prediction’ . Bi-prediction is available for B-slices only.
- Step 1.2 Redundancy check for spatial candidates
- a maximum of four merge candidates are selected among candidates that are located in five different positions.
- a maximum of one merge candidate is selected among two candidates. Since constant number of candidates for each PU is assumed at decoder, additional candidates are generated when the number of candidates does not reach to maximum number of merge candidate (MaxNumMergeCand) which is signalled in slice header. Since the number of candidates is constant, index of best merge candidate is encoded using truncated unary binarization (TU) . If the size of CU is equal to 8, all the PUs of the current CU share a single merge candidate list, which is identical to the merge candidate list of the 2N ⁇ 2N prediction unit.
- TU truncated unary binarization
- a maximum of four merge candidates are selected among candidates located in the positions depicted in FIG. 8.
- the order of derivation is A 1 , B 1 , B 0 , A 0 and B 2 .
- Position B 2 is considered only when any PU of position A 1 , B 1 , B 0 , A 0 is not available (e.g. because it belongs to another slice or tile) or is intra coded.
- candidate at position A 1 is added, the addition of the remaining candidates is subject to a redundancy check which ensures that candidates with same motion information are excluded from the list so that coding efficiency is improved.
- a redundancy check To reduce computational complexity, not all possible candidate pairs are considered in the mentioned redundancy check. Instead only the pairs linked with an arrow in FIG.
- FIGS. 10A-10B depict the second PU for the case of N ⁇ 2N and 2N ⁇ N, respectively.
- candidate at position A1 is not considered for list construction. In fact, by adding this candidate will lead to two prediction units having the same motion information, which is redundant to just have one PU in a coding unit.
- position B 1 is not considered when the current PU is partitioned as 2N ⁇ N.
- a scaled motion vector is derived based on co-located PU belonging to the picture which has the smallest POC difference with current picture within the given reference picture list.
- the reference picture list to be used for derivation of the co-located PU is explicitly signalled in the slice header.
- the scaled motion vector for temporal merge candidate is obtained as illustrated by the dotted line in 13, which is scaled from the motion vector of the co-located PU using the POC distances, tb and rd, where tb is defined to be the POC difference between the reference picture of the current picture and the current picture and td is defined to be the POC difference between the reference picture of the co-located picture and the co-located picture.
- the reference picture index of temporal merge candidate is set equal to zero.
- a practical realization of the scaling process is described in the HEVC specification. For a B-slice, two motion vectors, one is for reference picture list 0 and the other is for reference picture list 1, are obtained and combined to make the bi-predictive merge candidate.
- FIG. 11 is an illustration of motion vector scaling for temporal merge candidate.
- the position for the temporal candidate is selected between candidates C 0 and C 1 , as depicted in FIG. 12. If PU at position C 0 is not available, is intra coded, or is outside of the current CTU, position C 1 is used. Otherwise, position C 0 is used in the derivation of the temporal merge candidate.
- merge candidates there are two additional types of merge candidates: combined bi-predictive merge candidate and zero merge candidate.
- Combined bi-predictive merge candidates are generated by utilizing spatio-temporal merge candidates.
- Combined bi-predictive merge candidate is used for B-Slice only.
- the combined bi-predictive candidates are generated by combining the first reference picture list motion parameters of an initial candidate with the second reference picture list motion parameters of another. If these two tuples provide different motion hypotheses, they will form a new bi-predictive candidate. As an example, FIG.
- Zero motion candidates are inserted to fill the remaining entries in the merge candidates list and therefore hit the MaxNumMergeCand capacity. These candidates have zero spatial displacement and a reference picture index which starts from zero and increases every time a new zero motion candidate is added to the list. The number of reference frames used by these candidates is one and two for uni and bi-directional prediction, respectively. Finally, no redundancy check is performed on these candidates.
- HEVC defines the motion estimation region (MER) whose size is signalled in the picture parameter set using the “log2_parallel_merge_level_minus2” syntax element. When a MER is defined, merge candidates falling in the same region are marked as unavailable and therefore not considered in the list construction.
- log2_parallel_merge_level_minus2 plus 2 specifies the value of the variable Log2ParMrgLevel, which is used in the derivation process for luma motion vectors for merge mode as specified in clause 8.5.3.2.2 and the derivation process for spatial merging candidates as specified in clause 8.5.3.2.3.
- the value of log2_parallel_merge_level_minus2 shall be in the range of 0 to CtbLog2SizeY-2, inclusive.
- Log2ParMrgLevel is derived as follows:
- Log2ParMrgLevel log2_parallel_merge_level_minus2 + 2
- Log2ParMrgLevel indicates the built-in capability of parallel derivation of the merging candidate lists. For example, when Log2ParMrgLevel is equal to 6, the merging candidate lists for all the prediction units (PUs) and coding units (CUs) contained in a 64x64 block can be derived in parallel.
- PUs prediction units
- CUs coding units
- Motion vector prediction exploits spatio-temporal correlation of motion vector with neighbouring PUs, which is used for explicit transmission of motion parameters. It constructs a motion vector candidate list by firstly checking availability of left, above temporally neighbouring PU positions, removing redundant candidates and adding zero vector to make the candidate list to be constant length. Then, the encoder can select the best predictor from the candidate list and transmit the corresponding index indicating the chosen candidate. Similarly with merge index signalling, the index of the best motion vector candidate is encoded using truncated unary. The maximum value to be encoded in this case is 2 (see FIG. 14) . In the following sections, details about derivation process of motion vector prediction candidate are provided.
- FIG. 14 summarizes derivation process for motion vector prediction candidate.
- motion vector candidate two types are considered: spatial motion vector candidate and temporal motion vector candidate.
- spatial motion vector candidate derivation two motion vector candidates are eventually derived based on motion vectors of each PU located in five different positions as depicted in FIG. 8.
- one motion vector candidate is selected from two candidates, which are derived based on two different co-located positions. After the first list of spatio-temporal candidates is made, duplicated motion vector candidates in the list are removed. If the number of potential candidates is larger than two, motion vector candidates whose reference picture index within the associated reference picture list is larger than 1 are removed from the list. If the number of spatio-temporal motion vector candidates is smaller than two, additional zero motion vector candidates is added to the list.
- a maximum of two candidates are considered among five potential candidates, which are derived from PUs located in positions as depicted in FIG. 8, those positions being the same as those of motion merge.
- the order of derivation for the left side of the current PU is defined as A 0 , A 1 , and scaled A 0 , scaled A 1 .
- the order of derivation for the above side of the current PU is defined as B 0 , B 1 , B 2 , scaled B 0 , scaled B 1 , scaled B 2 .
- the no-spatial-scaling cases are checked first followed by the spatial scaling. Spatial scaling is considered when the POC is different between the reference picture of the neighbouring PU and that of the current PU regardless of reference picture list. If all PUs of left candidates are not available or are intra coded, scaling for the above motion vector is allowed to help parallel derivation of left and above MV candidates. Otherwise, spatial scaling is not allowed for the above motion vector.
- the motion vector of the neighbouring PU is scaled in a similar manner as for temporal scaling, as depicted as FIG. 15.
- the main difference is that the reference picture list and index of current PU is given as input; the actual scaling process is the same as that of temporal scaling.
- AMVP mode For the AMVP mode, four parts may be signalled in the bitstream, i.e., prediction direction, reference index, MVD and mv predictor candidate index (highlighted in the syntax table below) . While for the merge mode, only a merge index may need to be signalled.
- five_minus_max_num_merge_cand specifies the maximum number of merging MVP candidates supported in the slice subtracted from 5.

- HMVP history-based motion vector prediction
- LUT-based motion vector prediction techniques using one or more tables (e.g., look up tables) with at least one motion candidate stored to predict motion information of a block can be implemented in various embodiments to provide video coding with higher coding efficiencies.
- a look up table is an example of a table which can be used to include motion candidates to predict motion information of a block and other implementations are also possible.
- Each LUT can include one or more motion candidates, each associated with corresponding motion information.
- Motion information of a motion candidate can include partial or all of the prediction direction, reference indices/pictures, motion vectors, LIC flags, affine flags, Motion Vector Derivation (MVD) precisions, and/or MVD values.
- Motion information may further include block position information to indicate from which the motion information is coming.
- the LUT-based motion vector prediction based on the disclosed technology which may enhance both existing and future video coding standards, is elucidated in the following examples described for various implementations. Because the LUTs allow the encoding/decoding process to be performed based on historical data (e.g., the blocks that have been processed) , the LUT-based motion vector prediction can also be referred to as History-based Motion Vector Prediction (HMVP) method. In the LUT-based motion vector prediction method, one or multiple tables with motion information from previously coded blocks are maintained during the encoding/decoding process. These motion candidates stored in the LUTs are named HMVP candidates.
- HMVP candidates are named HMVP candidates.
- the associated motion information in LUTs may be added to the motion candidate lists (e.g., merge/AMVP candidate lists) , and after encoding/decoding one block, LUTs may be updated.

- FIG. 17 depicts the modified merge candidate list construction process (highlighted in blue) .
- HMVP candidates stored in the HMVP table could be utilized to fill in the merge candidate list.
- the HMVP candidates in the table are inserted in a descending order of indices. The last entry in the table is firstly added to the list, while the first entry is added in the end. Similarly, redundancy removal is applied on the HMVP candidates. Once the total number of available merge candidates reaches the maximal number of merge candidates allowed to be signaled, the merge candidate list construction process is terminated.
- HMVP table contains up to 5 motion candidates and each of them is unique.
- a candidate is only added to the list if the corresponding candidate used for redundancy check has not the same motion information.
- Such comparison process is called pruning process.
- the pruning process among the spatial candidates is dependent on the usage of TPM for current block.
- the HEVC pruning process i.e., five pruning for the spatial merge candidates is utilized.
- the HMVP table is updated. Motion information of current block may be firstly pruned to all available HMVP candidates in the HMVP table.
