Fast Multiple Reference Frame Selection Method in H.264 Video Encoding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new JVT H.264 video coding standard is becoming the dominant standard, mainly due to its high coding efficiency. Among all modules in the encoder, motion estimation plays a key role since it can significantly affect the output quality of an encoded sequence. However, motion estimation requires a significant part of the encoding time. One reason is because H.264 allows motion estimation based on multiple reference frames. In this paper, a new method for fast reference frame selection is proposed. The method performs a simple and quick test prior to motion estimation in order to choose the best reference frame.
