چکیده
Lagrangian Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO) is widely employed in modern video encoders such as H.264/AVC and H.264/AVC for mode decision. During the RDO process the distortion and bit rate of each mode has to be estimated and more an accurate estimation leads to better optimized decisions. This paper explores accurate, non-integer bit estimation and its impact on better RDO. Simulations show 0.2% to 13.0% bit rate saving for H.265/HEVC and 0.2% to 8.0% for H.264/AVC. Keywords—Non-integer/Fractional Bit Estimation; CABAC; Accurate Rate-Distortion Optimization;

Fast Rate Estimation for RDO Mode Decision in HEVC
The latter-day H.265/HEVC video compression standard is able to provide two-times higher compression efficiency compared to the current industrial standard, H.264/AVC. However, coding complexity also increased. The main bottleneck of the compression process is the rate-distortion optimization (RDO) stage, as it involves numerous sequential syntax-based binary arithmetic coding (SBAC) loops. In ...

The H.265/MPEG-H High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard provides a significant increase in coding efficiency compared to its predecessor, the H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) standard, which however comes at the cost of a high computational burden for a compliant encoder. Motion estimation (ME), which is a part of the inter-picture prediction process, typically consumes a high amo...
متن کاملA Fast Block Size Decision For Intra Coding in HEVC Standard
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...

متن کاملHEVC vs. H.264/AVC Through Performance and Complexity Comparison
The main goal of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standardization effort was to enable significantly improved compression performance relative to existing standards-in the range of 50% bit-rate reduction for equal perceptual video quality. In order to compare the performance and complexity without significant rate-distortion performance degradation, the HEVC coder vs. H.264/AVC coder are...
