Fast 3D-HEVC Depth Intra Coding Based on Boundary Continuity

Fast Intra Mode Decision for Depth Map coding in 3D-HEVC Standard

three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

Unified depth intra coding for 3D video extension of HEVC

With the development of high-efficiency video coding (HEVC), the newest video coding standard, 3D video extension of HEVC (3D-HEVC) has been actively investigated. Since 3D-HEVC uses multi-view texture and depth data for input, various coding tools have been added to HEVC. In 3D-HEVC, on top of the existing 35 HEVC intra modes, eight additional modes exist, which are specifically for depth codi...

Fast Edge Detection and Early Depth Decision for Intra Coding of 3D-HEVC

In this paper, an improved low complexity algorithm for 3D-HEVC is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. The basic idea of the method is to utilize the boundary homogeneity of texture and depth map which is generated by Laplacian filter. Firstly, based on the evaluation result of the boundary homogeneity, an early coding unit (CU) decision method is proposed to achieve the low comput...

DCT Based Fast INTRA Mode Decision Method for HEVC Coding

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) can significantly improve coding efficiency by using 35 intra prediction modes, which lead to a substantial increase in coding complexity yet. In this paper, a fast intra mode decision method for HEVC based on DCT is proposed. The algorithm estimates the texture direction of the prediction block (PB) by using discrete cosine transform and reduces the number o...
