A fast coding unit (CU) decision method is proposed for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) by determining early the CU sizes based on coding tree pruning. One of the most effective, a newly introduced concept in HEVC, is variable CU size. In determining the best CU size, the reference encoder of the HEVC tests every possible CU size in order to estimate the coding performance of each CU define...

The influence of organisational factors on the quality of hospital coding using the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems, 10th Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) was investigated using a mixed quantitative-qualitative approach. The organisational variables studied were: hospital specialty; geographical locality; structural characteristics o...

The paper presents analysis of frame partitioning in the next generation video coding standard HEVC. Complex study on frequency of the particular coding unit, prediction unit and transform unit sizes selection made by the encoder compliant with HEVC technology is included. General conclusions based on extensive experiments for HD video sequences are presented. Such knowledge may be the first st...

This paper presents a scalable FPGA/ASIC implementation architecture for high-speed parallel table-lookup-coding using multiported content addressable memory, aiming at facilitating effective tablelookup-coding solutions. The multi-ported CAM adopts a Flexible Multiported Content Addressable Memory (FMCAM) technology, which represents an effective parallel processing architecture and was previo...
