Abstract
High-efficiency video coding (HEVC) is the latest video coding standard aimed to reduce the bitrate by half for the same video quality compared to H.264/AVC. This encoding performance makes HEVC more suitable for high-definition video applications. However, this performance is coupled with a high-computational complexity, which makes it hard to achieve real-time video encoding with a classic embedded processor. Multicore technology of programmable processors could be a very promising solution to overcome this computational complexity. Moreover, software optimisations by proposing fast algorithms for the most complex functions could also be an efficient solution to speed up the encoding process. In this context, this study presents a fast mode decision algorithm for the intra prediction module. This algorithm aims to reduce the number of intra prediction modes to be tested instead of performing a full intra mode search. Experimental results for all-Intra configuration show that the proposed fast intra mode decision allows saving up to 46.79% of the intra prediction time in average. Encoding performance in terms of video quality and bitrate is not significantly affected.
