Early Skip Mode Detection by Exploring Extra Skip Patterns for H.264 Coarse Grain Quality Scalable Video Coding

摘要

We propose a fast early skip mode detection approach by exploiting extra skip patterns that are missed by previous research. With a larger early skip candidate set, a larger number of macroblocks at the enhancement layer could be detected as skipped mode. Experimental results demonstrate that, the proposed method achieves higher encoding time reduction with negligible quality loss compared with previous research results.
