JVET-L0299 CE8-related: CPR mode with merge mode improvements [X. Xu, X. Li, M. Gao, J. Ye, S. Liu (Tencent)]
In this contribution, the CPR mode is combined with some improvements from merge mode, i.e., non-adjacent and history-based merge candidates (CE4.4.2, CE4.4.7). Combination of the two are tested.
With the improved merge mode CE4.4.2, the reported BD rate changes from the base method (BMS-CPR) are as follows:
- In AI, -0.09%/-0.33%/-1.71% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In RA, -0.58%/-0.61%/-2.06% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In LB, -0.37%/-0.63%/-1.93% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
With the improved merge mode CE4.4.2, the reported BD rate changes from the base method (CPR with 1 CTU search range, CE8.3.1b) are as follows:
- In AI, -0.06%/-0.21%/-0.95% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In RA, -0.57%/-0.56%/-1.69% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In LB, -0.43%/-0.50%/-2.12% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
With the improved merge mode CE4.4.2+CE4.4.7, the reported BD rate changes from the base method (BMS-CPR) are as follows:
- In AI, -0.23%/-0.78%/-2.69% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In RA, -0.87%/-1.14%/-2.99% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In LB, -0.52%/-0.94%/-2.87% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
With the improved merge mode CE4.4.2+CE4.4.7, the reported BD rate changes from the base method (CPR with 1 CTU search range, CE8.3.1b) are as follows:
- In AI, -0.16%/-0.57%/-1.83% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In RA, -0.84%/-1.00%/-2.56% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
- In LB, -0.56%/-0.94%/-2.74% for CTC/Class F/SCC 1080p classes, separately.
The proposal provided the information showing that the CPR mode combined the merge mode improvement adopted in this meeting has additional gain.
The proponent suggested that if the CE4.4.7 (adopted merge improvement) is applied to CPR, the addional gain is expected to be similar as the one tested using CE4.4.2 in this contribution.
