Abstract

In order to solve the problem of excessive complexity of 360-degree video based on equirectangular projection (ERP) of versatile video coding (VVC) , this paper proposed a fast CU partition algorithm based on predictive partition convolutional Neural Network (PP-CNN) . Firstly, this paper analyzed the partition characteristics of CUs of ERP 360-degree video in different latitude regions and introduced the latitude feature in thre propoed algorithm. Secondly, the algorithm established 360-degree video dataset with the characteristics of latitude and quantization parameters. Then, this method designed a lightweight PP-CNN model to predict the edge division information of CUs. Next, the algorithm based on the output of PP-CNN model developed a dual-threshold CU fast partition decision scheme to remove redundant partition patterns. Finally, this paper designed three decision modes, fast, balanced and performance according to the needs of coding scenarios. The extensive experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is able to shorten the coding time by 39.31%-61.95% on average under the full intra-frame coding configuration at the BDBR increases by only 0.37%-1.43% compared with the official testbed VTM-14.0-360lib13.1, indicating that the algorithm can realize faster coding speed under the premise of guaranteeing coding performance.
