Unified primary transform kernel for ISP mode
Abstract
In VVC Draft, for CUs coded as ISP mode, when lfnst_idx is equal to 1 or 2, the primary transform kernels are DCT-2, while when lfnst_idx is 0, an implicit transform scheme is applied and DST-7 or DCT-2 may be applied as the primary transform kernels. It is proposed to use a unified primary transform kernel, DCT-2, for ISP mode when sps_lfnst_enabled_flag is equal to 1. It is asserted that the proposed scheme can reduce the complexity in both encoder and decoder with little loss.
JVET-R0345 Unified primary transform kernel for ISP mode [J.-Y. Huo, W.-H. Qiao, H.-X. Wang, Y.-Z. Ma, F.-Z. Yang (Xidian Univ.), S. Wan (NPU), Y.-F. Yu, Y. Liu (OPPO)]

In VVC Draft, for CUs coded as ISP mode, when lfnst_idx is equal to 1 or 2, the primary transform kernels are DCT-2, while when lfnst_idx is 0, an implicit transform scheme is applied and DST-7 or DCT-2 may be applied as the primary transform kernels. It is proposed to use a unified primary transform kernel, DCT-2, for ISP mode when sps_lfnst_enabled_flag is equal to 1. It is asserted that the proposed scheme can reduce the complexity in both encoder and decoder with little loss.

The experimental results are as below:

  • For AI configuration: 0.06%, 0.13%, and 0.12%, with 99% EncT, 100% DecT;
  • For RA configuration: 0.02 %, 0.02%, and 0.08%, with 99% EncT, 99% DecT.

It is commented that this is not clearly simplifying, as the transforms are available anyway, and the additional implicit check is minor. There is also some small compression loss.
