Chroma quantization parameter (QP) offset

Abstract:

Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for encoding and decoding video data. In various examples, a coding device can include multiple luma QP and chroma QP relationship tables. In performing quantization or inverse quantization one video data being encoded or decoded, respectively, the coding device can select a table. The table can be selected based on, for example, a slice type, a prediction mode, and/or a luminance value, among other factors. The coding device can then use the luma QP value to look up a chroma QP value from the table. The luma QP and chroma QP values can then be used in quantization or inverse quantization.
