IP3 2023 – Video Codec 3 (LOT 14300)

This lot is generally related to a technique of video encoding to prevent deterioration in performance in video. Disclosed is a video encoding by selecting a current coding unit (CU) using depth information and determining whether the current CU has a single object if size of the current CU is equal to or greater than a pre-determined value. The system verifies an object information of a peripheral CU of the current CU and predicts a division structure based on the object information. The prediction of a division structure of the current CU is determined whether an upside CU and a left CU are composed of a single object. The system decides whether or not to divide the current CU has a size equal to or greater than a pre-determined value, and decides to divide the current CU when the upside CU and the left CU each have the size less than the pre-determined value. The technology may be implemented in 3D video coding systems, image processing devices, etc.
