Abstract

The latest video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is developed by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding(JCTVC). HEVC can achieve better compression performance than any other coding standards, which adopts the quadtree structured coding tree unit (CTU). In encoding process, the CTU is recursively split into four equally sized coding unit (CU)s. Along with the multiple sizes of the CUs, the number of prediction unit(PU) modes has been largely increased, which raises the computational complexity in HEVC encoder greatly. In this paper, a fast inter mode decision algorithm based on motion estimation (ME) and texture feature is proposed to speed up the PU mode decision in HEVC encoder. Experimental results demonstrate that the overall algorithm that is proposed can save 41% encoding time on average while the decrease of coding quality is negligible, when compared to that of the HM10.0 reference software.
