Abstract

A fast macroblock (MB) mode decision algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of H.264 video coding. First, a SKIP mode detection algorithm is developed to detect as many "skipped" MB as possible. As a result, the encoding functions associated with all inter modes and all intra modes can be omitted. In addition, an early inter mode termination mechanism is developed to disable some inter modes and all intra modes during the motion estimation process. Compared with JM-FFS, the proposed algorithm can reduce 71.35% of the encoding time with a negligible degradation in video quality and compression ratio. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
