Abstract: Rectangular block partitioning as it is used in state of the art video codecs such as HEVC can produce visually displeasing artifacts at low bitrates. This effect is particularly noticeable at moving object boundaries. This contribution presents a comprehensive geometry-based block partitioning framework in a post-HEVC codec for motion compensated prediction, intra-prediction and transform coding as a solution. The method is evaluated on the set of sequences defined by the Joint Call for Proposals on Video Compression with Capabilities beyond HEVC. Our contribution visually improves the quality of object boundaries and performs on par in terms of compression performance with the latest Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) test model.
