Reconstruction of blocks of video data using block size restriction
A method of decoding video data includes determining, by one or more processors implemented in circuitry, a partition of the video data into a plurality of blocks. The partition of the video data applies a block size restriction to prevent a splitting of a block of the plurality of blocks that would result in a small block comprising a block width and a block height when the block height times the block width is less than a threshold. The method further includes generating, by the one or more processors, prediction information for the block and determining, by the one or more processors, a predicted block for the block based on the prediction information. The method further includes decoding, by the one or more processors, a residual block for the block and combining, by the one or more processors, the predicted block and the residual block to decode the block.
