Efficient intra-prediction mode selection for 4×4 blocks in H.264
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the upcoming H.264, intra-prediction for 4x4 and 16x16 blocks is used to compress I-frame. However, we need to choose one of the 9 prediction modes for each 4x4 block. The full search (FS) algorithm to select the mode is computationally expensive. In this paper, an efficient intra-prediction mode selection (EIPMS) method is proposed based on partial computation of the cost function, selective computation of highly probable modes, early termination, and variable threshold setting. The proposed EIPMS can reduce the complexity considerably while maintaining similar PSNR and bit rate.

Fast Intra-Frame Mode Selection for H.264
The emerging H.264 video coding standard is able to achieve remarkable video quality using a number of new, but compute-intensive, video coding techniques. One of these new techniques is intra-frame coding, in which the blocks or macroblock in an intra-coded macroblock can be predicted from previously coded blocks/macroblocks, so that only their difference information needs to be encoded. Since...

One of the new features in the H.264/AVC encoder is the use of Lagrangian rate-distortion optimization (RDO) method during mode decision at the macroblock level. The RDO technique has been employed in H.264/AVC for intra-prediction mode selection to achieve better coding efficiency. But the computational complexity of mode decision algorithm is extremely high. To reduce the complexity of mode d...

This paper presents a novel scene change detection method using complexity and edge direction based on intra prediction mode in H.264/AVC compressed video. When scene change occurs, there is less temporal correlation between consecutive frames. Therefore, most of macro-blocks are encoded in intra mode. Using this property, the proposed method calculates the percentage of intra mode blocks in ea...

A simple, highly efficient intra prediction algorithm to reduce the computational complexity of H.264/AVC High Profile is proposed. The algorithm combines two methods. The first method is a quant-based block-size selection decision that is based on the sum of the quantization AC coefficients among intra 8 × 8 mode predictions, combined with an error adjustment to select either intra 4 × 4 or in...
