A new fast motion estimation algorithm using fast mode decision for high-efficiency video coding standard

Real-time motion estimation for image and video processing applications

“…• Finally, the fourth paper selected in the field of multimedia coding and transmission is that of Belghith et al [30], who speed up the encoding process using efficient algorithms based on fast mode decision and optimized motion estimation. The aim is to reduce the complexity of the motion estimation algorithm by modifying its search pattern, combining it subsequently with a new fast mode decision algorithm to further improve coding efficiency.…”

Fast center search algorithm with hardware implementation for motion estimation in HEVC encoder

“…In the third group of algorithms, fast BMAs is used with different strategies, sizes and shapes to impact the search speed. For example, in [9] Belghith et al proposed a combination of small diamond and horizontal diamond search pattern for motion estimation stage in HEVC. In [8], several methods are reviewed based on combinations of cross diamond and hexagon search pattern.…”

“…On the other hand, the time saving is less in video sequences that have rapid motions. Table III compares our proposed FCSA with previous fast searches introduced for HEVC in [9]- [7]. FCSA achieves better time saving than [9] with better PSNR and BR.…”

HEVC video encoder implementation on Texas Instruments platforms

“…Currently, the majority of embedded implementations focus on the HEVC decoder which is less complicated and easier for implementation compared to the encoder one [2] [3] [4] and [5]. Regarding the HEVC encoder, there are two implementation aspects: some works focus on software optimizations of different encoder modules such as intra prediction [6], motion estimation [7]. Others are interested in hardware implementations on different platforms such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform and x86 processors with Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture by using openMP library to accelerate encoding speed [8] to [14].…”
