Shared candidate list and parallel candidate list derivation for video coding

Abstract:

A video coder can be configured to code video data by determining a first block size threshold for a block of video data; determining a second block size threshold, wherein the second block size threshold is smaller than the first block size threshold; partitioning the block of video data into smaller sub-blocks; in response to determining that a first partition of the partitioned block is smaller or equal to the first block size threshold, determining that blocks within the partition belong to a parallel estimation area; and in response to determining that a second partition of the partitioned block is smaller or equal to the second block size threshold, determining that blocks within the second partition belong to an area for a shared candidate list.
