Fast mode decision and motion estimation for JVT/H.264
Peng Yin, H.-Y.C. Tourapis, Alexis Michael Tourapis, Jill M. Boyce · 2004
The JVT/H.264 video coding standard achieves considerably higher coding efficiency than previous standards. Unfortunately this comes at a cost in considerably increased complexity at the encoder mainly due to motion estimation and mode decision. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to jointly optimize motion estimation and mode decision. Simulation results show that we achieve up to 90% complexity reduction while maintaining coding efficiency.
