Complexity-scalable H.264/AVC in an IPP-based video encoder
Tiago A. da Fonseca, Ricardo Lopes de Queiroz, Debargha Mukherjee · 2010
Real-time high-definition video encoding is a computation-hungry task that challenges software-based solutions. For that, in this work we adopted an Intel software implementation of an H.264 video encoder and optimized its prediction stage in the complexity sense (C). Thus, besides looking for the coding options which lead to the best coded representation in terms of rate and distortion, we constrain the process to fit within a certain time budget. We present an RDC-optimized framework which allows for real-time HD video compression.
