- H.264/AVC is the most widely used recent video coding standard. It provides a high encoding efficiency but it also has a high computational complexity. The block mode decision for motion estimation is the most time-consuming procedure. A complexity reduction method for the block mode decision procedure is proposed. To reduce the complexity, all block modes are divided into several candidate block mode groups. The sum of the absolute difference (SAD) value, including the motion cost of each mode, is used as a classification feature to divide the block modes into several groups. A refinement method using a Bayesian model based on the average SAD value is also proposed. For B-slices, a differential block mode allocation method is suggested. A different number of candidate modes are allocated for lists (list 0, list 1) based on the SAD value of each list after 16 × 16 block motion estimation. The proposed method achieves an average time-saving for the total encoding time of 65% for IPPP and 66.01% for the hierarchical-B structure.
