Abstract

The recent High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Standard demonstrates higher rate-distortion (RD) performance compared to its predecessor H.264/AVC using different new tools especially larger and asymmetric inter-mode variable size motion estimation and compensation. This requires more than 4 times computational time compared to H.264/AVC. As a result it has always been a big concern for the researchers to reduce the amount of time while maintaining the standard quality of the video. The reduction of computational time by smart selection of the appropriate modes in HEVC is our motivation. To accomplish this task in this paper, we use phase correlation to approximate the motion information between current and reference blocks by comparing with a number of different binary pattern templates and then select a subset of motion estimation modes without exhaustively exploring all possible modes. The experimental results exhibit that the proposed HEVC-PC (HEVC with Phase Correlation) scheme outperforms the standard HEVC scheme in terms of computational time while preserving-the same quality of the video sequences. More specifically, around 40% encoding time is reduced compared to the exhaustive mode selection in HEVC.
