An Adaptive H.265/HEVC Encoding Control for 8K UHDTV Movies Based on Motion Complexity Estimation

In this paper, we propose a method to control H.265/HEVC encoding for 8K UHDTV moving pictures by detecting amount or complexity of object motions. In 8K video, which has very high spatial resolution, motion has a big influence on encoding efficiency and processing time. The proposed method estimates motion features by external process which uses local feature points matching between two frames, selects an optimal prediction mode and determines search ranges of motion vectors. Experiments show we can detect motion complexity of 8K movies by using local feature matching between frames and we can select optimal configurations of encoding. By our method, we achieved highly efficient and low computation encoding.
