Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for coding mode selection. In particular, an encoding device determines whether or not to code a block of pixels in a coding mode currently being considered for selection using information associated with at least one other coding mode with a different block partition. In one aspect, the encoding device uses information associated with at lest one coding mode that has block partitions that are sub-partitions of the block partitions of the coding mode currently being considered for selection. Additionally, the encoding device may use information associated with another coding mode that has the same block partitions as the coding mode currently being considered for selection or information associated with the coding mode currently being considered for selection.
