Abstract-The Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) has been proposed to improve the coding efficiency. However, this additional extension generally results an important coding complexity. Several studies were performed to overcome the complexity through algorithmic optimizations that led to an encoding time reduction. In fact, mode decision analysis is imperatively important in order to have an idea about the partitioning modes based on two parameters, such as prediction unit size and frame type. This paper presents statistical observations at two levels: coding units (CUs) and prediction units (PUs) selected by the encoder. Analysis was performed for several test sequences with different motion and texture characteristics. The experimental results show that the percentage of choosing coding or prediction unit size and type depends on sequence parameters, frame type, and temporal level.
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.
