A Low Complexity Mode Decision Method for Spatial Scalability Coding

In this paper, a fast mode decision method for the spatial higher layers (SHLs) in scalable video coding (SVC) is proposed based on coding dependency between two adjacent spatial lower and higher layers. The proposed fast mode decision method detects zero motion and zero transform coefficient blocks...

Description
Summary:In this paper, a fast mode decision method for the spatial higher layers (SHLs) in scalable video coding (SVC) is proposed based on coding dependency between two adjacent spatial lower and higher layers. The proposed fast mode decision method detects zero motion and zero transform coefficient blocks in the current spatial layer using the already encoded information of the corresponding blocks from the lower layer. The information for zero motion vectors and zero transform coefficients is used to induce a reduced set of candidate modes in SHLs of SVC, which reduces the computation complexity up to about 75% of the total encoding time while maintaining the coding performance with negligible amounts of degradation in peak signal-to-noise ratio values and bitrates.
