Abstract:
The latest standard, Versatile Video Coding (VVC), doubles the coding efficiency over the previous generation standard. However, better performance is at the cost of a sharp increase in coding complexity. In order to reduce the complexity of VVC intra coding, this paper proposes a multi-stage block partition decision framework based on deep learning. First, we propose a three-stage redundant modes removal framework that decreases the number of modes checked in the brute-force process. Then, we build a lightweight CNN to complete the classification task of each stage. To reduce the burden of CNN and adapt to different Coding Unit (CU) sizes, we pre-process the luminance component of CU and use the results as input of the network. Finally, the multi-threshold adjusting scheme is proposed for trading off complexity reduction with the bitrate increase. The experimental results shows our method can reduce the encoding time ranging from 16.93% to 69.40% with the bit-rate increase ranging from 0.31% to 3.59%. Such results demonstrate that our method has superior performance with a wide range of adjustments compared with other state-of-the-art methods.
