摘要
The rapid development and increase of multimedia applications, as well as the demand for higher video-quality services at restricted resources such as storage capacity, transmission bandwidth and power consumption, has brought the urgent need for more efficient video compression techniques. The new video coding standard high efficiency video coding (HEVC) has a significant superiority over its predecessor advanced video coding (AVC). HEVC is reported to halve the bit rate with the same visual quality, or a better quality with the same bit rate when compared with AVC. Beside other improvements, HEVC significantly gets its power from the use of dynamic hierarchical quad-tree structure by partitioning the frames into smaller regions called coding units (CU), by means of a rate-distortion optimization process. However, this improvement yields to a dramatic increase of high computational complexity and increased encoding time, which primarily restricts its adaptation in real-time applications. In this paper, we proposed an early CU determination algorithm for fast encoder realization to reduce the encoding time which is the most important part of the standard standing for development. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has approximately 45 % encoding time saving with a 4.6 % bit-rate increment, on average.
