JVET-K0161 Spatial-temporal merge mode (non subblock STMVP) [T. Zhou, T. Ikai (Sharp)]

Note that this contribution number is invalid on JVET document website. And the contribution is registered again as JVET-K0532.

This contribution presents a spatial-temporal merge mode which is a simplified version of STMVP mode in JEM. It is asserted that this simplified merge mode produces more coding gain by courtesy of its optimized reference position while its’ no subblock feature is beneficial for hardware design. It is reported the bd-rate gain is 0.80 % and 0.28 % in RA and LB condition respectively.

Recommendation: Study in a CE.
