Control of sub prediction unit (sub PU) motion parameter inheritance (MPI) in 3D (3D) HEVC or other 3D coding

摘要

In general, the disclosure describes techniques for coding depth blocks in video data. A video coding device may determine a size of a sub-prediction unit (sub-PU) for motion parameter inheritance (MPI) in a depth prediction unit (depth PU). The depth PU may comprise one or more sub-PUs, each sub-PU having equal size. Distinct motion information can be inherited for each sub-PU from a texture block co-located to the sub-PU. The device may encode each sub-PU based on MPI corresponding to texture blocks co-located with the sub-PUs and generate a syntax element that indicates the size of each sub-PU for MPI. The device may further receive the syntax element, and, upon receiving an index value that indicates a sub-PU MPI mode, inherit MPI for each sub-PU based on the corresponding texture blocks.
