Coding video data using a two-level multi-type-tree framework

Abstract:

An example device for decoding video data includes a video decoder configured to decode one or more syntax elements at a region-tree level of a region-tree of a tree data structure for a coding tree block (CTB) of video data, the region-tree having one or more region-tree nodes including region-tree leaf and non-leaf nodes, each of the region-tree non-leaf nodes having at least four child region-tree nodes, decode one or more syntax elements at a prediction-tree level for each of the region-tree leaf nodes of one or more prediction trees of the tree data structure for the CTB, the prediction trees each having one or more prediction-tree leaf and non-leaf nodes, each of the prediction-tree non-leaf nodes having at least two child prediction-tree nodes, each of the prediction leaf nodes defining respective coding units (CUs), and decode video data for each of the CUs.
