초록

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC는 높은 부호화 효율을 재현하는 동영상 부호화 방식이나 부호화 처리가 많다는 문제점이 있다. 또한 많은 부호화 처리에서는 Inter예측에 관련된 처리가 대부분을 차지하고 있으며 특히 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC에서는 그 비율이 높게 나타나있다. 기존의 동화상 부호화 방식도 Inter예측이 차지하는 비율이 높으나 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC에서는 가변 블록 크기 움직임 보상, 2개 이상의 복수 참조 프레임에 더하여 1/4 영상 정도의 움직임 보상을 이용 할 수 있도록 하고 있으며 부호화 처리량 증가가 커다란 하나의 요인이 되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 부호화 대상 매크로 블록 크기와 탐색 중에 참조하는 매크로 블록의 pixel 수의 차분을 이용함으로서 움직임 보상 블록크기의 탐색을 유효하게 감소시키는 방법에 대해 제안하였다.

The performance improvement in MPEG-4 AVC is provided at the expense for higher computational complexity. Most of the complexity is caused by Inter prediction. To improve coding efficiency, some functions are added in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, such as variable block size motion compensation, multi reference frame and quarter-pel motion compensation. A fast macroblock partition decision method is proposed in this paper. The macroblock size is efficiently determined by using the pixel value difference between encoding and the referred macroblock.
