“…In [2], homogeneous region was used to make an early decision. In [3]~ [5], the correlation of neighbor macroblocks in current frame and reference frame was utilized to form a candidate mode list instead of using the entire modes. In [2] and [6], some modes that are less likely to be the best mode are excluded according to the motion cost.…”

H.264 adopts Variable Block Size Motion Estimation and Mode Decision with Rate-Distortion Optimization to improve video quality and decrease bit rate. However, these techniques increase the computation complexity and the encoding time enormously. An efficient macroblock level fast mode decision algorithm is proposed in this paper. Macroblocks which are likely to choose a large block size during mode decision are detected early and those smaller size modes are rejected for these macroblocks. Experimental results show that 40.52% encoding time is saved with only 0.01dB PSNR drop on average.
