Fast sample adaptive offset encoding for HEVC
Tien-Ying Kuo, Hai Chiu, Fajri Amirul · 2016
This paper presents a rapid method for predicting the best type of Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) in the HEVC video encoder. The main idea of this work is to utilize the available motion vector and frame characteristics, and to reuse the information given by the reference picture and the neighboring blocks to accelerate the SAO decision while keeping good coding efficiency.
