For the purpose of reduce the complicated process of H.264/AVC standard, the overall coding flow is studied, and some of the key technolies are discussed in the front part of this thesis. An algorithm for determining the distortion for different data partitions in H.264/AVC is proposed. A low-pass filter is implemented for each macroblock; after the macroblock is smoothed by this filter we compare the result of the filtered macroblock with the original data and generate the difference between them. Then the basic candidate-mode class is determined based on the difference, and the further mode decision can be made within this sub-class. So that the number of candidate modes is reduced, and the complexity of I-frame mode decision process is reduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
