In this paper, we propose a motion vector prediction method that increases the coding efficiency at the boundary of an image by utilizing the 360 video characteristic. In the current VVC method, the location of a neighbor block is excluded from the candidate list for inter prediction in case that it is out of boundary. This can reduce coding efficiency as well as subject quality. To solve this problem, we construct new candidates adding the location of the neighbor block at the boundary of the picture from already decoded information based on the projection method for 360 video coding. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we compare with VTM6.0 and 360Lib9.1 under Random Access condition of JVET-360 CTC. As a result, the coding performance shows a BD-rate reduction of 0.02% on average in luma component and 0.05%, 0.06% on average in chroma components respectively, without additional computational complexity. The coding performance at the picture boundary shows a BD-rate reduction of 0.29% on average in luma component and 0.45%, 0.43% on average in chroma components, respectively. Furthermore, we perform subjective quality test with the DSCQS method and obtain MOS values. The MOS value is improved by 0.03 value, and we calculate BD-MOS using MOS value and bit-rate. As a result, the proposed method improved performance by up to 8.78% and 5.18% on average.

최근 JVET(Joint Video Experts Team)는 새로운 비디오 압축 표준을 VVC(Versatile Video Coding)으로 이름 짓고 2020 년 완료를 목표로 그 표준화를 시작하였다. HEVC 및 VVC 에서는 화면간 예측의 부호화 효율을 위하여 공간적/시간적 주변블록의 움직임 정보로부터 Merge/AMVP(Advanced Motion Vector Prediction)의 후보 리스트를 구성하고 최적의 움직임 정보를 활용한다. 본 논문에서는 Merge/AMVP 의 후보 리스트를 유도할 때, 현재블록의 모양을 고려하여 상관성이 높은 주변블록의 움직임 정보를 우선 순위로 유도하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 VTM(VVC TM) 대비 제안기법의 성능을 확인한다.
