5.2.1SCE2 summary and general discussion

JCTVC-M0022 SCE2: Summary Report of SHVC Core Experiment on Inter-layer Texture Prediction Signalling and Deblocking [L. Guo, Y. He, D.-K. Kwon, J. Zan, J.-W. Kang]

SHVC Experiment 2 (SCE 2) includes two subtests which are related to inter-layer texture prediction. In subtest 2.1, methods related to inter-layer texture prediction flag signalling were investigated. In subtest 2.2, a method for BS setting of inter-layer texture prediction was evaluated. This report provides a summary of activities and results for this core experiment.

Subtest 2.1: Signalling for inter-layer texture prediction

Test	Changes in Intra-BL flag coding
2.1.1 (TI)	In P and B slice, cu_skip_flag = 1 with an intraBL flag = 1 is used to indicate zero residue for IntraBL, and cu_skip_flag = 1 with intraBL flag = 0 indicates inter skip
2.1.2 (TI)	PU-level signalling Conditionally adding Intra-BL prediction as a candidate in the merge list for non-2Nx2N PU
2.1.3 (TI)	Combination of 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
