Abstract
In this paper, an efficient mode decision algorithm, named the multi-correlation-based mode decision (MMD), is proposed to reduce the computational complexity while maintaining the high coding efficiency. In this method, the rate distortion (RD) cost of the Direct mode is always computed and compared with an adaptive threshold as a possible early termination chance. This adaptive threshold is determined by using the spatial, temporal and inter-view correlation between the current macroblock (MB) and its neighboring macroblocks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed MMD algorithm can significantly achieve computational saving of 72.38 % on average with no significant loss of rate-distortion performance, compared with the full mode decision in the reference software of multi-view video coding (MVC).
