Résumé : |
Several specific features have been incorporated into Motion estimation (ME) in H.264 coding standard to improve its coding efficiency.
However, they result in very high computational load. In this paper, a fast ME algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational complexity.
First, a mode discriminant method is used to free the encoder from checking the small block size modes in homogeneous regions.
Second, a condensed hierarchical block matching method and a spatial neighbor searching scheme are employed to find the best full-pixel motion vector.
Finally, direction-based selection rule is utilized to reduce the searching range in sub-pixel ME process.
Experimental results on commonly used QCIF and CIF format test sequences have shown that the proposed algorithm achieves a reduction of 88% ME process time on average, while incurring only 0.033 dB loss in PSNR and 0.50% increment on the total bit rate compared with that of exhaustive ME process, which is a default approach adopted in the JM reference software. |
