Motion Estimation and Inter Prediction Mode Selection in HEVC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motion estimation is one of the most computationally challenging parts of any video encoder. An estimated 50% to 70% encoder complexity is due to motion estimation. Recent video coding standards like H.264/MPEG-4(AVC) and HEVC include a sophisticated motion estimation algorithm called Test Zone Search. This paper examines the algorithms designed to perform Coding Unit type and size selection in HEVC and the proposed improvements to the Test Zone Search algorithm with respect to HEVC while also suggesting further improvements. Key-Words: Inter prediction, coding unit, depth, motion estimation, test zone search, H.264/MPEG-4(AVC), HEVC.

The 3D High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC) standard aims to code 3D videos that usually contain multi-view texture videos and its corresponding depth information. It inherits the same quadtree prediction structure of HEVC to code both texture videos and depth maps. Each coding unit (CU) allows recursively splitting into four equal sub-CUs. At each CU depth level, it enables 10 types of inter...

We present and analyse schemes for the improvement of computational complexity in the current HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard, by a subsampling of the block-matching distortion cost functions used in the encoding process. HEVC improves on prior standards considerably in coding (compression) efficiency, with a large set-back in time complexity for inter and intra prediction processe...
