An Intra-Drift-Free Robust Watermarking Algorithm in High Efficiency Video Coding Compressed Domain

Compressed Domain Scene Change Detection Based on Transform Units Distribution in High Efficiency Video Coding Standard

Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...

Compressed Domain Robust Video Watermarking

Recently, video watermarking has become an important research issue due to increase in threats of video piracy, authentication, and ownership integrity. In this paper, we propose a new secure and robust watermarking method for H.264 compressed video stream with a blind extraction process. Most authors prefer embedding in I-frames because I-frames are crucial for video signal. However, the embed...

Fast intra-encoding algorithm for High Efficiency Video Coding

The emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard provides equivalent subjective quality with about 50% bit rate reduction compared to the H.264/AVC High profile. However, the improvement of coding efficiency is obtained at the expense of increased computational complexity. This paper presents a fast intra-encoding algorithm for HEVC, which is composed of the following four techniques. ...

Fast Intra Mode Decision in High Efficiency Video Coding

In this paper a coding unit early termination algorithm resulting in a fast intra prediction is proposed that terminates complete full search prediction for the coding unit. This is followed by a prediction unit mode decision to find the optimal modes HEVC encoder 35 prediction modes. This includes a two-step process: firstly calculating the Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) of all the modes by...
