JVET-AM0105 EE2-related: Candidate replacement in MPM list [H. Tian, Y. Gao, S. Li, J. Lei (Shandong Univ.), B. Li, F. Xing, P. Han (Hisense)] [late]
In EE2, the MPM list is constructed based on the best RD mode of neighbours. In MPM list, it already has an advantage of bitrate saving. Thus the candidates in MPM list should be the mode of neighbours with the lowest distortion. In this proposal, a candidate replacement in MPM list is presented based on the mode of neighbours with the lowest distortion.
On top of ECM-13.0, results of the proposed method are:
AI: %, %, %, EncT: % , DecT: %.

According to current results, the tradeoff of compression vs. encoder runtime is not acceptable. This happens likely due to increased number of mode checks. Further study to demonstrate if compression benefit with better tradeoff can be achieved.
It is also noted that the results are compared to an outdated version of ECM.
