본 논문에서는 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 부호화기에서 사용되는 TU(Transform Unit) 분할이 깊이에 따라 속도와 화질과 압축률에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 현재 HD 영상의 표준 부호화기로 사용되던 H.264/AVC 를 대신할 차세대 부호화기인 HEVC 에 대한 표준화 작업이 이루어지고 있으며 이러한 HEVC 부호화기의 특징 중 하나로 영상 압축 시 CU, PU, TU 로 세분화 된 단위를 사용한다는 점을 들 수 있다. HEVC의 reference software 인 HM 의 경우 기존 H.264/AVC 에 비하여 UHD 영상에서 최대 40%에 가까운 비트 절감률을 보이지만 최적화가 이루어지지 않아 실시간 부호화에는 적합하지 않은 속도를 보인다. HM 에서는 각 CU 나 TU 에 대하여 quadtree 형식으로 분할하여 부호화를 수행한 후 최적의 분할 형태를 취하는 방식을 사용하기 때문에 많은 시간을 소요하게 되며 분할되는 깊이에 비례하여 기하급수적으로 속도가 느려지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 TU 가 분할되는 깊이가 부호화 화질과 속도에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고 화질 손상을 최소화 하는 최적의 TU 분할 깊이를 제안하여 보기로 한다.
