This paper evaluates the performance of multilayer VVC and SHVC. Multilayer VVC supports a multi-layer coding and many coding technologies have been added and extended compared to SHVC. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the multi-layer coding performance of VVC and the coding performance for inter-layer reference prediction. Multilayer VVC provides significant BD-rate improvement of AI 24.4%, RA 29.4%, LDB 29.4%, LDP 32.6% on average when compared to SHVC, so that it is shown that VVC can provide scalability more efficiently. On the other hand, the complexity of the encoding time increases by an average of 14 times and decoding time by an average of 1.8 times, which requires efforts to reduce the complexity.

Video coding technologies are progressively becoming more efficient and complex. The Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is a new state-of-the art video compression standard that is going to be a standard, as the next generation of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. To explore the future video coding technologies beyond the HEVC, numerous efficient methods have been adopted by the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET). Since then, the next generation video coding standard named as VVC and its software model called VVC Test Model (VTM) have emerged. In this paper, several important coding features for motion estimation and motion compensation in the VVC standard is introduced and analyzed in terms of the performance. Improved coding tools introduced for ME and MC in VVC, can achieve much better and good balance between coding efficiency and coding complexity compared with the HEVC.

본 논문에서는 새로이 시작된 비디오 압축 표준인 VVC(Versatile Video Coding)의 인-루프(in-loop) 필터링을 위한 CNN 구조를 제안한다. 제안하는 CNN 구조는 복호화된 영상을 입력으로 하고 원본 영상과 복호화된 영상의 오차를 손실함수로 사용하여 학습을 진행한다. 또한, 비디오 부호화에서의 다양한 크기의 CU(Coding Unit)를 고려한 다양한 크기의 컨볼루션 필터를 사용하여 특징을 추출하는 구조에 기반하고 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 CNN 기반의 필터링이 VVC 의 시험모델인 VTM(VVC Test Model)의 인-루프 필터링의 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

As a demand for a new video coding standard having higher coding efficiency than the existing standards is growing, recently, MPEG and VCEG has been developing and standardizing the next-generation video coding project, named Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Many inter prediction techniques have been introduced to increase the coding efficiency, and among them, an adaptive motion vector resolution (AMVR) technique has contributed on increasing the efficiency of VVC. However, the best motion vector can only be determined by computing many rate-distortion costs, thereby increasing encoding complexity. It is necessary to reduce the complexity for real-time video broadcasting and streaming services, but it is yet an open research topic to reduce the complexity of AMVR. Therefore, in this paper, an efficient technique is proposed, which reduces the encoding complexity of AMVR. For that, the proposed method exploits a special VVC tree structure (i.e., multi-type tree structure) to accelerate the decision process of AMVR. Experiment results show that the proposed decision method reduces the encoding complexity of VVC test model by 10% with a negligible loss of coding efficiency.

Versatile Video Coding (VVC), which has been developing as a next generation video coding standard, has adopted various techniques to achieve more than twice the compression performance of HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding). The recently released VVC Test Model (VTM) shows 38% Bjontegaard Delta bitrate (BD-rate) improvement and 9x/1.6x encoding/decoding complexity over HEVC. In order to reduce such increased complexity, various fast algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, gradient-based methods of fast intra mode decision and block splitting are presented. Experimental results show that, compared to VTM6.0, the proposed method gives up to 65% encoding time reduction with 3.54% BD-rate loss in All-Intra (AI) configuration.
