Coding unit division determination method and device, computing device and readable storage medium

摘要

The present application discloses a method and apparatus for determining division of a coding unit, a computing device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: determining whether a size of a current coding unit is greater than a size of a smallest coding unit; obtaining a gradient of the current coding unit when the size of the current coding unit is greater than the size of the smallest coding unit; obtaining gradients of sub-coding units included in the current coding unit, when the gradient of the current coding unit is less than a first threshold; and determining, according to the gradients of the sub-coding units, whether to divide the current coding unit. Compared with the existing technology, whether to further divide the current coding unit whose size is greater than the size of the smallest coding unit needs to be determined according to the gradient of the current coding unit and the gradients of the sub-coding units included in the current coding unit, so that a coding unit that does not need to be divided can be determined, thereby reducing an operation amount caused by the coding unit division and reducing an operation complexity degree.
