Analysis of Frame Partitioning in HEVC

Fast Intra Mode Decision for Depth Map coding in 3D-HEVC Standard

three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

Depth Sequence Coding with Hierarchical Partitioning and Spatial-domain Quantisation

Depth coding in 3D-HEVC for the multiview video plus depth (MVD) architecture (i) deforms object shapes due to block-level edge-approximation; (ii) misses an opportunity for high compressibility at near-lossless quality by failing to exploit strong homogeneity (clustering tendency) in depth syntax, motion vector components, and residuals at frame-level; and (iii) restricts interactivity and lim...

Depth Partitioning and Coding Mode Selection Statistical Analysis for SHVC

The Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) has been proposed to improve the coding efficiency. However, this additional extension generally results an important coding complexity. Several studies were performed to overcome the complexity through algorithmic optimizations that led to an encoding time reduction. In fact, mode decision analysis is imperatively important in order to have an i...

Reference frame selection in a hardware-based HEVC encoder

The multiple-reference-frame motion estimation (ME) is one of the features to improve the compression efficiency. However, the computational complexity for prediction increases in proportion to the number of reference frames. This paper proposes the reference frame selection algorithm for a hardware-based HEVC encoder. The integer-ME explores multiple reference frames to find the best one and t...
