The H.264/AVC video coding standard has been recently proposed by the Joint Video Team of ITU-T and MPEG experts. The AVC encoder achieves video bitstreams at the same quality as ...
Lagrangian minimization is one of the most powerful tools for Rate-Distortion optimal coding mode selection. However, in the latest video compression standard H.264/AVC, the total...
Sprite-based video coding offers higher compression efficiency than conventional block-based hybrid video coders. In sprite coding a sequence is divided into a model of its backgr...
In order to enable real-time software-based video encoding, in this work we optimized the prediction stage of an H.264 video encoder, in the complexity sense. Thus, besides lookin...
Intra-frame mode selection and inter-frame mode selection are new features introduced in the H.264 standard. Intra-frame mode selection dramatically reduces spatial redundancy in ...
