This paper proposes an algorithm to maintain feature information of compressed video in high efficiency video coding (HEVC), where feature information is defined by SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) detector. Adaptive largest coding unit (LCU) selection is defined to determine LCU into two different groups, important LCU group and non-important LCU group. Moreover, two different bit allocations are generated in rate control to each group based on coding mode selection, Intra or Inter mode, to achieve target bit rate and also guarantee the feature information can be maintained. Experimental results show proposed method can achieve better SIFT similarity than original HEVC encoder from 1% to 10% at the same target bit.
