Fast mode decision for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 using spatio-temporal correlation

“…In [2], a fast mode decision method was proposed based on the RD cost, the sum of absolute differences (SAD), and motion vectors. The temporal statistics of the selected mode types of MBs in the previous frame(s) was analyzed to select candidate mode types (CMTs) for further evaluation in deciding the best mode type in [3] and [4]. Wang et al [5] exploited the spatial statistics of the mode types of the neighboring MBs in the current frame to set the initial mode type of the current MB.…”
