    In this paper, we propose a new low complexity video compression method based on detecting blocks containing moving edges us- ing only DCT coe±cients. The detection, whilst being very e±cient, also allows e±cient motion estimation by constraining the search process to moving macro-blocks only. The encoders PSNR is degraded by 2dB com- pared to H.264/AVC inter for such scenarios, whilst requiring only 5% of the execution time. The computational complexity of our approach is comparable to that of the DISCOVER codec which is the state of the art low complexity distributed video coding. The proposed method ¯nds blocks with moving edge blocks and processes only selected blocks. The approach is particularly suited to surveillance type scenarios with a static camera

    An Efficient Intra Prediction Algorithm for H.264/AVC High Profile

    [[abstract]]A simple, highly efficient intra prediction algorithm to reduce the computational complexity of H.264/AVC High Profile is proposed. The algorithm combines two methods. The first method is a quant-based block-size selection decision that is based on the sum of the quantization AC coefficients among intra 8 × 8 mode predictions, combined with an error adjustment to select either intra 4 × 4 or intra 16 × 16 mode predictions. The second method is a novel direction-based prediction mode decision that is used to reduce the possible prediction modes for the rate-distortion (RD) optimization technique. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces the encoding time by approximately 54% compared with that needed for an exhaustive search using the joint model reference software. The peak signal-to-noise ratio degradation is negligible, and the bit rate increment is minimal. Furthermore, the results show that our algorithm achieves a significant improvement in both computation performance and RD performance as compared with the existing algorithms.[[notice]]補正完畢[[incitationindex]]EI[[booktype]]電子

    Mode decision for the H.264/AVC video coding standard

    H.264/AVC video coding standard gives us a very promising future for the field of video broadcasting and communication because of its high coding efficiency compared with other older video coding standards. However, high coding efficiency also carries high computational complexity. Fast motion estimation and fast mode decision are two very useful techniques which can significantly reduce computational complexity. This thesis focuses on the field of fast mode decision. The goal of this thesis is that for very similar RD performance compared with H.264/AVC video coding standard, we aim to find new fast mode decision techniques which can afford significant time savings.
