Abstract

The newest video coding standard, the versatile video coding standard (VVC/H.266), came into effect in November 2020. Different from the previous generation standard—high-efficiency video coding (HEVC/H.265)—VVC adopts a more flexible block division structure, the quad-tree with nested multi-type tree (QTMT) structure, which improves its coding performance by 24%. However, it also causes a substantial increase in computational complexity. Therefore, this paper first proposes the concept of a stage grid map, which divides the overall division of a 32 × 32 coding unit (CU) into four stages and represents it as a structured output. Second, a multi-stage early termination convolutional neural network (MET-CNN) model is devised to predict the full partition information of a CU with a size of 32 × 32. Finally, a fast CU partition decision algorithm for VVC intra coding based on an MET-CNN is proposed. The algorithm can predict all partition information of a CU with a size of 32 × 32 and its sub-CUs in one run, completely replacing the complex rate-distortion optimization (RDO) process. It also has an early exit mechanism, thereby greatly reducing the encoding time. The experimental results illustrate that the scheme proposed in this paper reduces the encoding time by 49.24% on average, while the Bjøntegaard Delta Bit Rate (BDBR) only increases by 0.97%.
