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...
In many modern video encoders, motion estimation is usually formulated as a Lagrangian cost function that balances motion prediction accuracy and the rate to transmit motion vecto...
This paper focuses on the mode decision and motion selection problem when H.264/AVC video streams are transcoded in spatial resolution. A fast downsizing transcoding scheme is dev...
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...
Owing to the great computation complexity of the ME (motion estimation) in video coding, a lot of fast ME algorithms have been proposed in literature. Most of them are designed ba...
