Fast QTMT partition decision based on deep learning by Shuang PENG, Xiaodong WANG, Zongju PENG, Fen CHEN

“…Compared with the predecessor standards, versatile video coding (VVC) significantly improves compression efficiency by a quadtree with nested multi-type tree (QTMT) structure but at the expense of extremely high coding complexity.To reduce the coding complexity of VVC, a fast QTMT partition method was proposed based on deep learning.Firstly, an attention-asymmetric convolutional neural network was proposed to predict the probability of partition modes.Then, the fast decision of partition modes based on the threshold was proposed.Finally, the cost of coding performance and time was proposed to obtain the optimal threshold, and the threshold decision method was proposed.Experimental results at different levels show that the proposed method achieves an average time saving of 48.62%/52.93%/62.01% with the negligible BDBR of 1.05%/1.33%/2.38%.Such results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.…”
