AHG11: Palette mode
Abstract
This document proposes a simplified palette mode on top of VTM1.1. For Class F sequences, the results show -2.6%/-1.8%/-0.9% BD-rate luma gain in AI/RA/LDB configuration; for 4:2:0 TGM sequences in CE8, the results show -13.7%/-8.9%/-7.0% BD-rate luma gain in AI/RA/LDB configuration.
JVET-K0411 AHG11: Palette mode [Y.-C. Sun, J. An, J. Lou (Alibaba)] [late]

This document proposes a simplified palette mode on top of VTM1.1. For Class F sequences, the results reportedly show 2.6%/1.8%/0.9% BD-rate luma gain in AI/RA/LDB configuration; for 4:2:0 TGM sequences in CE8, the results reportedly show 13.7%/8.9%/7.0% BD-rate luma gain in AI/RA/LDB configuration.

The proposed palette mode is not the same as in HEVC, but rather similar to an earlier version (SCM2).

This was applicable to 4:4:4 and 4:2:0 colour sampling.

The mode is enabled at the CU level (which is now rectangular, whereas it was always square in the case of HEVC.

Small losses were reported for classes A through E.

To be investigated in CE15:

  • The interrelationship with CPR
  • Also investigate the HEVC palette mode
  • The complexity impact of the two palette variants and CPR (V. Seregin offered to help in porting the SCC palette mode to the VTM).
