چکیده

AbstractThis paper investigates fast software implementations of integer transforms in video encoders. The ever increasing demand for video applications on the public Internet and particularly in environments of low bandwidth necessitate the need for video compression. In a video encoder a hybrid of data compression units and algorithms are used to remove redundancy in the video. The 4x4 integer transform used in the H.264/AVC coding standard is considered here and the aim is to improve the computation speed while maintaining subjective quality of the video data.

Variable Bit-Depth Processor for 8×8 Transform and Quantization Coding in H.264/AVC

The H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Codec) is the latest standard for video coding established by the Joint Video Team ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG (Wiegand et al., 2003) (Sühring, 2010) (Links, 2010). This standard has many innovations, such as hybrid prediction/transform coding of intra frames and integer transforms (Richardson, 2004). Fig. 1 presents a simplified block diagram of the H.264/AVC enco...

A fast 8×8 IDCT algorithm for HEVC

As an approximation to the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Integer Cosine Transform (ICT) is widely used in latest video coding standards, such as H.264/AVC, VC-1 and AVS. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the next generation of video compression standard, adopts 4/8/16/32 integer transform. Since the size of matrices themselves and the numerical magnitude of matrix elements are very large,...

Shape adaptive integer transform for coding arbitrarily shaped objects in H.264/AVC

The use of shape-adaptive transforms is a popular approach for coding arbitrarily shaped objects in image/video coding due to their adaptability at object edges and low complexity. In this respect shape adaptive DCT (SA-DCT) and shape adaptive DWT (SA-DWT) have been proposed in previous literature. The Integer Transform (IT), a derivative of the 4x4 DCT, has been adopted in the latest H.264/AVC...

Accurate, Non-integer Bit Estimation for H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC Rate-Distortion Optimization

Lagrangian Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO) is widely employed in modern video encoders such as H.264/AVC and H.264/AVC for mode decision. During the RDO process the distortion and bit rate of each mode has to be estimated and more an accurate estimation leads to better optimized decisions. This paper explores accurate, non-integer bit estimation and its impact on better RDO. Simulations show...
