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...
The major complexity source in H.264 is the rate distortion (R-D) optimization. This work proposes a method to reduce the complexity of R-D analysis, paying a little video degrada...

The H.264/AVC video encoder standard significantly improves the compression efficiency by using variable block-sized Inter (P) and Intra (I) Macroblock (MB) coding modes. In this p...
A video compression standard incorporates many tools and technologies which must be licensed by systems that deploy the standard. The licensing determines the royalty costs that m...
—Owing to the availability of low-cost and low-power CMOS cameras, Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSN) has recently become a reality. However video encoding is still a costly p...
