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...
With the standardization of H.264/AVC by ITU-T and ISO/IEC and the adaptatation into new hardware, the necessity of transcoding between existing standards and H.264 will arise to ...
In this paper, we propose a fast reverse motion estimation algorithm with efficient mode decision for reverse transcoding of H.264 bitstream. By analyzing the motion vectors and m...
Since variable block-size motion compensation (MC) and rate-distortion optimization (RDO) techniques are adopted in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, modes and motion vectors (MVs) in input stream...
In previous techniques of bit rate reduction transcoding, reusing the mode of the input MB is widely adopted. However, directly re-using the mode of input MB will cause additional ...
