Research on fast block partition mode selection algorithm in H.264

摘要

The variable block size motion compensation using multiple reference frames is one of the key technologies to provide notable performance gain in H.264. However it is also the main bottleneck that increases the overall computational complexity. For this reason, based on some test results, this paper proposes a new biased fast mode decision method for H.264 video coding standard. Experimental results indicate that this method can speed up the H.264 encoder efficiently without noticeable loss in quality.
