Early Skip Decision based on Merge Index of SKIP for HEVC Encoding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard has significantly improved the coding efficiency by adopting a number of new coding tools. However enormous computational complexity is introduced by recursive rate-distortion optimization and new coding tools. In this paper, early SKIP decision method is proposed based on merge index of SKIP. There is high possibility that SKIP is selected as optimal mode when merge index of SKIP is 0. Based on this observation, if merge index of SKIP is 0, SKIP is selected as optimal mode and mode decision process for current CU is early terminated. To increase accuracy of early SKIP decision, we also utilize quantized residual of 2Nx2N_MERGE. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce encoding time by 42.9% on average with negligible RD performance loss (1.0%) under random access condition.

A fast coding unit (CU) decision method is proposed for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) by determining early the CU sizes based on coding tree pruning. One of the most effective, a newly introduced concept in HEVC, is variable CU size. In determining the best CU size, the reference encoder of the HEVC tests every possible CU size in order to estimate the coding performance of each CU define...
