Method and apparatus for a low complexity transform unit partitioning structure for hevc

Abstract

A method and apparatus for a low complexity transform unit partitioning structure for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The method includes determining prediction unit size of a coding unit, and setting the size of transform unit size of Y, U and V according to the prediction unit size of the coding unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 determining, with a coding device, a prediction unit size of a coding unit; and   setting, with the coding device, transform unit sizes for a luminance component (Y) and chrominance components (U and V) based on the prediction unit size of the coding unit.   
     
     
         2 . A device comprising one or more processors configured to:
 determine a prediction unit size of a coding unit; and   set transform unit sizes for a luminance component (Y) and chrominance components (U and V) based on the prediction unit size of the coding unit.   
     
     
         3 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 determine a prediction unit size of a coding unit; and   set transform unit sizes for a luminance component (Y) and chrominance components (U and V) based on the prediction unit size of the coding unit.
