Video coding for handling different picture sizes
Provided is a video coding method comprising that the width of a video picture is set to be a first multiple of a first number M, and the first number M is a positive integer. The height of the picture is set to be a second multiple of a second number N, and the second number N is a positive integer. The first number M and the second number N are predetermined. Additionally, it is determined that a merge sharing node is located outside of the picture. The merge sharing node is corresponding to a first region of the picture, a first set of coding units of the picture are within the first region, and the first set of coding units are coded with a merge mode. A constraint process is then applied such that the boundary of the merge sharing node is aligned with the boundary of the picture.
1. A video coding method, comprising:
setting a width of a video picture to be a first multiple of a first number M, wherein the first number M is a positive integer;
setting a height of the picture to be a second multiple of a second number N, wherein the second number N is a positive integer, and the first number M and the second number N are predetermined;
determining that the minimum size of a merge sharing node is A×B pixels, wherein A and B are positive integers, the merge sharing node is corresponding to a first region of the picture, a first set of coding units of the picture are within the first region, and the first set of coding units are coded with a merge mode; and
setting the value of the first number M to be one of A and B and setting the value of the second number N to be the other one of A and B such that no boundary of the merge sharing node is located outside the picture.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the first number M is identical to the value of the second number N, or
wherein the value of the first number M is different from the value of the second number N.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the first number M is 4 and the value of the second number N is 8.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the first number M is 8 and the value of the second number N is 4.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the first number M is 8 and the value of the second number N is 8.
6. A computing device, comprising:
one or more processors;
a non-transitory storage coupled to the one or more processors; and
a plurality of programs stored in the non-transitory storage that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform acts comprising:
setting a width of a video picture to be a first multiple of a first number M, wherein the first number M is a positive integer;
setting a height of the picture to be a second multiple of a second number N, wherein the second number N is a positive integer, and the first number M and the second number N are predetermined;
determining that the minimum size of a merge sharing node is A×B pixels, wherein A and B are positive integers, the merge sharing node is corresponding to a first region of the picture, a first set of coding units of the picture are within the first region, and the first set of coding units are coded with a merge mode; and
setting the value of the first number M to be one of A and B and setting the value of the second number N to be the other one of A and B such that no boundary of the merge sharing node is located outside the picture.
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of programs for execution by a computing device having one or more processors, wherein the plurality of programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform acts comprising:
setting a width of a video picture to be a first multiple of a first number M, wherein the first number M is a positive integer;
setting a height of the picture to be a second multiple of a second number N, wherein the second number N is a positive integer, and the first number M and the second number N are predetermined;
determining that the minimum size of a merge sharing node is A×B pixels, wherein A and B are positive integers, the merge sharing node is corresponding to a first region of the picture, a first set of coding units of the picture are within the first region, and the first set of coding units are coded with a merge mode; and
setting the value of the first number M to be one of A and B and setting the value of the second number N to be the other one of A and B such that no boundary of the merge sharing node is located outside the picture.
