Abstract: In HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), a 2N×2N coding unit can be partitioned into various partition types hierarchically. The coding system uses a criterion to determine the best partition, where RD-rate is often used as the criterion. N×N partition at level k becomes redundant if 2N×2N at level k+1 will be evaluated. In order to eliminate the above redundancy, the allowable partition sizes are constrained according to a method previously disclosed. In the current invention, the complexity is further reduced. According to one embodiment, N×N partition is not allowed for any INTER mode regardless of the coding unit size. Furthermore, flexibility is provided so that either the method and apparatus with further complexity reduction can be selected or an alternative method and apparatus can be selected. Syntaxes to support embodiments according to the present invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for Intra prediction of a block based on neighboring pixels around the block are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention use square blocks as well as non-square blocks for Intra prediction. For a 2N×2N Luma CU (coding unit), the CU can be partitioned into 2N×N, N×2N, 2N×2N or N×N PUs.

The matching subdivision is located by applying a recovered motion vector to a co-located subdivision in the reference picture for which motion vector information has been lost. The recovered motion vector is obtained using a reference motion vector from an available neighboring subdivision of the co-located subdivision.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive inter prediction mode coding are disclosed. In the current HEVC, a fixed set of variable length codes is used for the underlying video data, which may not optimally match the statistics of underlying video data. Consequently, the compression efficiency associated with the fixed set of variable length codes will be compromised. Accordingly, an adaptive coding scheme for inter prediction modes is disclosed. The variable length codes used for each inter prediction mode in each coding unit depth is adaptively determined by its respective statistics. The statistics can be measured as the frequency of occurrence of each mode. In one embodiment according to the present invention, counters are used to collect the statistics. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are collected from the previous slice and the set of variable length codes is determined for the subsequent slice (immediately following the previous slice) accordingly. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the statistics of inter prediction modes are updated for each coding unit and the variable length code for each mode is adjusted according to the statistics change during the coding process. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the variable length code for each mode is reset in the beginning of each slice. The reset code word table is either a predefined code word table for whole sequence or a code word table determined by the previous slice.
