Deep Learning Based Fast Mode Decision In Hevc Intra Prediction Using Region Wise Feature Classification, Shiba Prasad Kuanar

Electrical Engineering Dissertations - Archive

The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has achieved best coding efficiency as compared to previous H.264/AVC standard. But the computational time of HEVC encoder has increased mainly because of the hierarchical quad-tree based structure, recursive search for finding the best coding units, and the exhaustive prediction search up-to 35 modes. These advances improve the coding efficiency, but result into a very high computational complexity. Furthermore selecting the optimal modes among all prediction modes are necessary for the subsequent rate distortion optimization process.Therefore we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based algorithm which learns the region wise image features and …
