For improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264 video coding standard uses new coding tools, such as variable block size, quarter-pixel-accuracy motion estimation, multiple refere...
The H.264/AVC provides gains in compression efficiency of up to 50% over a wide range of bit rates and video resolutions compared to previous standards. However, these features inc...
Abstract--The H.264 standard achieves much higher coding efficiency than the MPEG-2 standard, due to its improved inter-and intra-prediction modes at the expense of higher computat...
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 support of variable block-sizes, though significantly improves the compression efficiency, imposes a big computational challenge on an H.264 encoder. In this paper, we present...
