Abstract

ITU-T Video Coding Expert Group and ISO/IEC Moving Picture Expert Group are studying the potential need for standardization of the future video coding technology with a compression capability that significantly exceeds that of the current High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, including its current extensions. Both groups are working together on this exploration activity in a collaboration effort known as Joint Video Exploration Team to evaluate compression technology designs proposed by their experts in this area. Preliminary results show that the new model achieves 25% bitrate reduction, but at a cost of extremely high computational complexity (11 $$\times {}$$ ) with respect to HEVC. This paper proposes a pre-analysis algorithm designed to extract motion information of a frame, which is later used in the Motion Estimation (ME) module to speed up the encoder, showing that around 27% of the reference frames can be skipped and that more than 62% of the time is saved in the integer ME operation with a negligible impact of 0.11% in BD-rate.
