H.264/AVC has been widely applied to various applications. However, a new video compression standard, High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC), had been finalized recently. In this work, a fast transcoder from H.264/AVC to HEVC is proposed. The proposed algorithm includes the fast prediction unit (PU) decision and the fast motion estimation. With the strong relation between H.264/AVC and HEVC, the mo...

High Efficiency Video Coding is a new video coding standard after H.264/AVC. By introducing a flexible coding unit, which can be recursively divided from 64×64 to 8×8 blocks in a Quadtree-Structure, HEVC achieves significantly higher coding efficiency than the previous standards. With the flexible CU structure, HEVC can effectively adapt to highly varying contents with a smaller CU or to flat c...

High efficiency video coding (HEVC) [1] is a new video coding standard developed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) of ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). Currently, most of coding techniques are established and HEVC version 1 will be released in January 2013 [2]. We ex‐ pect that HEVC is widely used in various applications ...

The emerging international standard of high efficiency video coding based 3D video coding (3D-HEVC) is a successor to multiview video coding (MVC). In 3D-HEVC depth intracoding, depth modeling mode (DMM) and high efficiency video coding (HEVC) intraprediction mode are both employed to select the best coding mode for each coding unit (CU). This technique achieves the highest possible coding effi...

The latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has been increasingly applied to generate video streams over the Internet. However, HEVC compressed videos may incur severe quality degradation, particularly at low bit-rates. Thus, it is necessary to enhance the visual quality of HEVC videos at the decoder side. To this end, this paper proposes a Quality Enhancement Convolutional Neural N...

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H265) is the most contemporary video compression standard, jointly developed by ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG standard bodies. HEVC, successor of H.264/AVC, is targeted to achieve half the bit-rate compared to its predecessor for the same video quality. Along with primary goal of achieving higher compression and accommodating support for higher resolutions like ...

HEVC being developed in the video coding standard(The video coding standard of HEVC being developped ) is a new generation of video coding standards for HD resolution video encoding. It is difficult to implement HEVC real time coding in current hardware for the algorithm’s complextivity, so the algorithm optimization and hardware acceleration of HEVC become research hot spots. The motion estima...

Nowadays many devices can handle with digital videos, especially with high definition, even for portable devices, as smartphones and tablets. However, high definition videos demand a high amount of information to be represented. The current video coding standards use a set of new techniques to increase its coding efficiency. One of these techniques, used by H.264 and HEVC (High Efficiency Video...

The main goal of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standardization effort was to enable significantly improved compression performance relative to existing standards-in the range of 50% bit-rate reduction for equal perceptual video quality. In order to compare the performance and complexity without significant rate-distortion performance degradation, the HEVC coder vs. H.264/AVC coder are...

High efficiency video coding is the current trend setting standard for coding and transmission of video content. This standard has brought in many improvements over its predecessor H264 standard. In this paper, performance evaluation of transmitting HEVC content over the simulated network environment for disaster and calamity stricken area has been under taken. In the simulation the transmitted...
