In a video coder, the optimal coding mode decision for each coding block could be achieved by exhaustively calculating the Lagrange cost (which includes the coding distortion plus...
The consideration of better motion compensation techniques for inter-frame prediction is one of the key reasons why the new H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video coding standard can achieve co...
The emerging H.264 advanced video coding (H.264/AVC) standard achieves significant improvement in coding efficiency compared with previous standards such as MPEG-2 and H.263. On...
: The coding gain of the H.264/AVC video encoder mainly comes from the new incorporated prediction tools. However, their enormous computation and ultrahigh memory bandwidth are the...
Fractional motion estimation (FME) is widely used in video compression standards. In H.264/AVC, the precision of motion vector is down to quarter pixels to improve the coding effi...
