Gu Meihua, Yu Ningmei, Kou Likang, Zhu li. Fast mode decision algorithm for H.264 based on early termination method[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2011, 16(3): 305-309. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20110326.
To simplify the computational complexity in mode selection process for H.264
a fast mode decision algorithm is proposed in this paper.According to the statistical rule of the best mode chosen by inter frame
the relationship of the temporal and spatial characteristics with the best mode is found. At each stage of inter mode selection
the temporal and spatial characteristics of macroblock(MB) are detected
once the residual homogeneous or spatial homogeneous conditions are satisfied
the mode selection process is terminated.Experimental results show that this method can make the encoding speed accelerate about 23.11% and peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR) improve about 0.058dB
