Abstract

In this paper, a complexity control scheme (CCS) for Inter frame mode decision (MD) is proposed for H.264/AVC encoder to speed-up the original encoding process. The information extracted from macroblock (MB), which can be used to pre-estimate the optimal mode of the MB is investigated and utilized to eliminate the redundant mode candidates. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce over 80% Inter frame encoding time with little quality loss. It can be widely implemented in the mobile communication systems with H.264/AVC standard to realize the real-time video signal coding.
