CODING AND DECODING UTILIZING PICTURE BOUNDARY PADDING IN FLEXIBLE PARTITIONING

摘要

There is a coding including-preparing coding units based on source pictures. The coding units are associated with largest coding tree units (LCTUs) which are polygons of source pictures. A tree format is utilized in processing the LCTUs into coding units. The preparing includes calculating an efficiency measure associated with a source picture position in a coordinate system based on fitting the coordinate system and the source picture with respect to each other. The preparing includes determining the source picture position based on a coding efficiency goal. The preparing includes determining padding areas. The source picture and padding areas are divided into LCTUs based on the coordinate system and the determined source picture position. The LCTUs are partitioned into coding units based on the tree format and a homogeneity rule. There is also a decoding including processing video compression data which is generated based on the coding units.
