Abstract

An image prediction method, apparatus, and system, a device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: ( 401 ) obtaining a split mode of a current node, where the current node is an image block in a coding tree unit in a current image; ( 402 ) determining, based on the split mode of the current node and a size of the current node, whether the current node satisfies a first condition; and ( 403 ) when it is determined that the current node satisfies the first condition, performing intra prediction on all coding blocks belonging to the current node, to obtain predictors of all the coding blocks belonging to the current node.

Claims (30)

1. An image prediction method, wherein the method comprises:

determining, based on a size of a current node and a prediction mode of the current node, a split mode that is not allowed for the current node, wherein the current node belongs to a coding tree unit in a current image;

when only an inter prediction mode is used for prediction of coding blocks belonging to the current node, and a quantity of luma samples of the current node is 32, determining that binary tree split is the split mode that is not allowed for the current node;

determining a block split policy of the current node based on the split mode that is not allowed for the current node; and

obtaining, based on the block split policy of the current node, a coding block corresponding to the current node, and performing prediction on the corresponding coding block.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the size of the current node is determined based on a size of a coding tree node corresponding to the current node and a split mode that is used to obtain the current node.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the quantity of luma samples of the current node is equal to a multiplication between a width of the current node in the luma samples and a height of the current node in the luma samples.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the prediction on the corresponding coding block comprises:

parsing a prediction mode status flag of the current node; and

when a value of the prediction mode status flag is a first value, performing inter prediction on the corresponding coding block; or

when the value of the prediction mode status flag is a second value, performing intra prediction on the corresponding coding block.

5. An image prediction method, wherein the method comprises:

determining, based on a size of a current node and a prediction mode of the current node, a split mode that is not allowed for the current node, wherein the current node belongs to a coding tree unit in a current image;

when only an inter prediction mode is used for prediction of coding blocks belonging to the current node, and a quantity of luma samples of the current node is 64, determining that ternary tree split is the split mode that is not allowed for the current node;

determining a block split policy of the current node based on the split mode that is not allowed for the current node; and

obtaining, based on the block split policy of the current node, a coding block corresponding to the current node, and performing prediction on the corresponding coding block.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the size of the current node is determined based on a size of a coding tree node corresponding to the current node and a split mode that is used to obtain the current node.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the quantity of luma samples of the current node is equal to a multiplication between a width of the current node in the luma samples and a height of the current node in the luma samples.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein performing the prediction on the corresponding coding block comprises:

parsing a prediction mode status flag of the current node; and

when a value of the prediction mode status flag is a first value, performing inter prediction on the corresponding coding block; or

when the value of the prediction mode status flag is a second value, performing intra prediction on the corresponding coding block.

9. A video coding device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory configured to store executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

determine, based on a size of a current node and a prediction mode of the current node, a split mode that is not allowed for the current node, wherein the current node belongs to a coding tree unit in a current image;

when only an inter prediction mode is used for prediction of coding blocks belonging to the current node, and a quantity of luma samples of the current node is 32, determine that binary tree split is the split mode that is not allowed for the current node;

determine a block split policy of the current node based on the split mode that is not allowed for the current node;

obtain, based on the block split policy of the current node, a coding block corresponding to the current node; and

perform prediction on the corresponding coding block.
