CHROMA TRANSFORM SKIP AND JOINT CHROMA CODING ENABLED BLOCK IN VIDEO CODING

Abstract:

A method of encoding video data includes determining a first rate-distortion value associated with encoding a first chroma block of a coding unit of the video data with a first transform type, determining a second rate-distortion value associated with encoding the first chroma block of the coding unit of the video data with a second transform type, determining that the first transform type provides better rate-distortion than second transform type based on the first rate-distortion value and the second rate-distortion value, based on the determination that the first transform type provides better rate-distortion, determining a third rate-distortion value associated with encoding the coding unit with joint coding of chroma residuals (JCCR) with the first transform type, and avoiding determining a fourth rate-distortion value associated with encoding the coding unit with JCCR with the second transform type, and encoding the coding unit with JCCR with the first transform type.
