Fast Inter-prediction Mode Selection Algorithm Based on Motion Characteristics
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) consumes most of the coding time in inter-prediction. In order to shorten the encoding time
a fast inter-prediction mode selection algorithm is proposed based on CU’s motion characteristics. Firstly
the inter-prediction mode is classified by using the motion characteristics defined in this study. Secondly
the CU performs inter-prediction of size N×N
and determines the current CU motion characteristics according to the relationship of the sub-PU (Prediction Unit) motion vectors. At last
the traversal range of inter-prediction mode is determined by the current CU motion characteristics. The experimental results demonstrate that compared with HM16.15
the proposed algorithm reduces by 31.6% the coding time in low delay configuration and by 27.4% in random access configuration
while the coding performance of the encoder is substantially unaffected.
