JVET-B0023 Quadtree plus binary tree structure integration with JEM tools [J. An, H. Huang, K. Zhang, Y.-W. Huang, S. Lei (MediaTek)]
Chaired by J. Boyce
This contribution reports the integration of the new coding tools in JEM on top of the quadtree plus binary tree (QTBT) structure. It is reported that around 5% BD-rate saving can be achieved by the QTBT structure.
At the previous meeting, it was decided to put QTBT in a separate branch, because of the interaction with other tools. Integration with all but two of the other adopted tools – NSST and RSAF – has since been done.
JEM 1.0 is based on HM16.6.
The plan is for proponents to integrate QTBT into JEM 1.0. An intermediate step would be to add the remaining two tools in the separate branch, and then upgrade to HM 16.6. At the next meeting we will decide if QTBT should be merged into the main branch.
This was discussed again on Sunday. The proponents provided information that the QTBT software is now based on HM16.6, rather than an earlier version of the HM as had been discussed on Saturday.
It was agreed to include QTBT in the EE document for testing.
