Abstract:This paper presents a novel one-pass mode decision algorithm for encoding multiple quality layers, following the coarse grain scalability coding structure in the H.264/SVC standard. In our solution, motion estimation (ME) is carried out only once at the base layer using the reconstructed picture from the highest enhancement layer. The same motion vectors are used for all layers to not only avoid multiple ME processes at different layers, but also save the overhead bits. In addition, early SKIP/DIRECT mode deci… Show more
