Computational Time Reduction Using Low Complexity Skip Prediction for H.264/Avc Standard

In an attempt to reduce the computational time savings using H.264/AVC encoder, this paper seeks to provide that 23-35% can be achieved. The constraints are the following: Fidelity Range Amendment (FRExt) profile with correspondence tools, the skip prediction only for B pictures and rate-distortion optimization mode selection disabled. On the other hand, it is shown that there is not significant loss of ratedistortion performance. Key-Words: Fidelity Range Extensions Amendment, Low complexity skip prediction, Rate-distortion optimization, Lagrange multiplier
