초록

가장 최근에 표준화된 H.264 동영상 압축 부호화 기법에서는 많은 새로운 기술들을 적용하여 높은 부호화 성능을 보인다. 특히 최적의 인트라 예측 모드를 결정하기 위해 모든 예측 모드들에 대해 비트율 왜곡 최적(rate distortion optimization) 기법을 적용하기 때문에 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 분산을 이용하여 인트라 모드를 결정하고 영상의 edge들을 찾아내는 연산을 통해 블록의 방향성을 찾고 그 방향성을 이용하여 인트라 예측 모드 결정에 필요한 계산량을 감소시키는 효율적인 기법을 제안한다.

The H.264/AVC video coding standard shows superior coding efficiency by adopting many new techniques. However, the encoding complexity increases greatly to achieve higher coding efficiency. Especially, the rate distortion optimization technique, which is used to decide the intra-prediction mode, increases the encoding complexity. In this paper, we propose an efficient intra-prediction mode decision method. By using the variance of pixel values and the edge direction, the computational complexity of the intra-prediction mode decision is greatly reduced.
