Method and device for intra-predictive encoding/decoding a coding unit comprising picture data, said intra-predictive encoding depending on a prediction tree and a transform tree

Abstract

Video encoding and decoding using non-rectangular partitioning. An example video decoding method includes: obtaining information identifying a non-rectangular first partitioning of a current block into a plurality of prediction units; determining a second partitioning of the current block into a plurality of transform units, wherein each transform unit is completely spatially contained within a respective one of the prediction units; and decoding the current block according to the non-rectangular first partitioning and the second partitioning. In some embodiments, the scan order of the transform units is determined such that all transform units contained in a same one of the prediction units are scanned before starting to scan transform units that are contained in a different one of the prediction units.
