Abstract
In this paper, we present a determination method of quantization skipping condition for H.264/AVC video encoding standard. In order to reduce the complexity of quantization process that is coming from Integer discrete cosine transform, a quantization skipping condition is derived by the analysis of integer transform and quantization processes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has the capability to reduce the computational complexity of CPU operation time about 10-25(%)
