适用于H.264的快速模式选择算法

多模式运动估计使H.264比其他视频编码算法具有更高的编码效率,但同时也使计算复杂度明显提升。提出了一种新的适用于H.264的快速模式选择算法。此算法提前对块的细节程度和纹理方向进行分析,根据块细节程度缩小模式选择的范围,并根据块纹理方向对模式进行进一步筛选,从而大大提高了模式搜索速度,将性能损失控制在可以忽略的范围内。仿真及实验的结果证明了本算法的有效性。

Efficient inter mode selection algorithm for H.264

Motion estimation was introduced by H. 264 video coding standard with multiple block sizes to achieve a con- siderably higher coding efficiency than other video coding algorithms. However, this comes at the greatly increased computing complexity at the encoder. A method was proposed to eliminate some redundant coding modes that contribute very little coding gain based on analysis of macroblock detail-level and texture directions. The simulation results show that the algorithm can remarkably decrease the complexity at the encoder while keeping satisfying coding efficiency.
