Abstract
H.264/AVC is the state-of-the-art video compression standard which achieves high coding efficiency compared with the previous standards. H.264/AVC adopts zig-zag scanning in order to encode quantized transform coefficients in a block. However, its performance is not satisfactory because all blocks are scanned in the fixed order without considering the characteristics of blocks. This paper presents an adaptive coefficient scanning method for improving inter coding efficiency in H.264/AVC. In the proposed method, the coefficient scanning order for each prediction mode is adaptively controlled based on the information of previously-coded blocks. The experimental results show that the proposed coefficient scanning method improves the coding efficiency about 2.29% for high-quality HD sequences.
