Efficient HEVC to H.264/AVC Transcoding with Fast Intra Mode Decision

چکیده
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard will soon reach its final draft. To provide the widely deployed H.264/AVC devices with HEVC video contents, transcoding pre-encoded HEVC video into H.264/AVC format is highly necessary. Computational complexity of H.264 hinders real-time transcoding. In this paper, we propose an efficient HEVC to H.264 intra frame transcoder to accelerate the time-consuming H.264 intra mode decision while ensure rate distortion (RD) performance. The proposed transcoder incorporates a support vector machine (SVM) based macroblock (MB) partition mode decision and a fast prediction mode decision. Compared with the reference transcoder which employs exhaustive search mode decision, our proposed transcoder can save 68.83% of transcoding time with negligible 2.32% bit-rate increase on average.

H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard developed by MPEG and ITU. AVS is the latest video coding standard developed by China. The two new video coding standards will co-exist in the market in the future. So it is necessary to transcode the AVS format to the H.264/AVC format or vice versa. Because the AVS video coding standard is based on the 8x8 block and also uses the intra prediction t...

Intra coding in High efficiency video coding (HEVC) can significantly improve the compression efficiency using 35 intra-prediction modes for 2N×2N (N is an integer number ranging from six to two) luma blocks. To find the luma block with the minimum rate-distortion, it must perform 11932 different rate-distortion cost calculations. Although this approach improves coding efficiency compared to th...
